Engine Oil/Coolant; Break-In (Running-In); Maximum Engine Speed Recommendation; Vary The Engine Speed - Suzuki GSX1300R Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL
Use a premium quality 4-stroke motor
oil to ensure longer service life of your
motorcycle. Use only oils which are
rated SF or SG under the API service
classification. The recommended vis-
cosity is SAE 10W-40. If a SAE 10W-
40 motor oil is not available, select an
alternative according to the following
chart.

COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze compatible with
aluminium radiator mixed with distilled
water only at the ratio of 50:50.
A WARNING
Engine coolant is harmful if swal-
lowed or if it comes in contact with
your skin or eyes.
Keep engine coolant away from
children and pets. Call your physi-
cian immediately if engine coolant
is swallowed, and induce vomiting.
Flush eyes or skin with water if en-
gine coolant gets in eyes or comes
in contact with skin.
A CAUTION
Spilled engine coolant can damage
painted surfaces.
Do not spill any fluid when filling
the radiator. Wipe spilled engine
coolant up immediately.
Water for mixing
Use distilled water only. Water other
than distilled water can corrode and
clog the aluminium radiator.
Anti-freeze
The coolant performs as rust inhibitor
and water pump lubricant as well as
anti-freeze. Therefore the coolant
should be used at all times even
though the atmospheric temperature
in your area does not go down to freez-
ing point.

NOTE: This 50% mixture will protect
the cooling system from freezing at
temperatures above -31 °C. If the mo-
torcycle is to be exposed to tempera-
ture below -31 °C, this mixing ratio
should be increased up to 55%
ratio should not exceed 60%.
The engine speed should be varied
ing the parts to cool. This aids the
mating process of the parts. It is es-
sential that some stress be placed on
the engine components during break-
in to ensure this mating process. Do
not, though, apply excessive load on
the engine.
