4) After adjusting the drive chain, tighten the axle nut

Drive Chain Cleaning and Lubricating
Clean and lubricate drive chain
Every 1 000 km (600 miles)
Clean and lubricate the drive chain in the following
procedures:
1) Clean the drive chain with kerosine. If the drive chain
tends to rust quickly, the intervals must be
shortened.
CAUTION
!
Do not use trichloroethylene, gasoline or any
similar solvent.
These fluids have too great a dissolving
power for this chain and they can damage the
O-rings. Use only kerosine to clean the drive
chain.
2) After cleaning and drying the chain, oil it with a
heavyweight motor oil.
CAUTION
!
• Do not use any oil sold commercially as
"drive chain oil". Such oil can damage the
O-rings.
• The standard drive chain is a RK
525SMOZ7Y. SUZUKI recommends to use
this standard drive chain as a replacement.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect brake system
Initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 months) and every
6 000 km (4 000 miles, 12 months) thereafter.
Inspect brake hose and brake fluid
Every 6 000 km (4 000 miles, 12 months)
WARNING
!

• The brake system of this motorcycle is
filled with a glycol-based brake fluid. Do
not use or mix different types of fluid such
as silicone-based and petroleum-based
fluids. Do not use any brake fluid taken
from old, used or unsealed containers.
Never reuse brake fluid left over from the
last servicing or stored for a long period of
time.
• Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with
safe running and immediately discolor
painted surfaces. Check the brake hoses
and hose joints for cracks and oil leakage
before riding.
