THE SPORT OF
MOTORCYCLING
Your motorcycle and this owner’s
manual have been designed by
people like you who enjoy motor-
cycling. People become motorcy-
clists for many reasons. For
starters, street riding is fun and
invigorating. But no matter why
you became a motorcyclist, or
how experienced you are, you will
eventually face some challenging
situations.
In preparing for these challenges,
you will be fine-tuning your coordi-
nation, concentration, and atti-
tude. Learning the skills and
strategies associated with motor-
cycling is the basis for safely par-
ticipating in this sport. Many
motorcyclists find that as they
become better riders, they also
get more enjoyment from the free-
dom unique to motorcycling.
Please remember:
MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE
AVOIDED
The most common type of motor-
cycle accident in the U.S. occurs
when a car traveling towards a
motorcycle turns left in front of the
motorcycle. Is that because other
drivers are out to get motorcy-
clists? No. Other drivers simply
don’t always notice motorcyclists.
Ride defensively. Wise motorcy-
clists use a strategy of assuming
they are invisible to other drivers,
even in broad daylight. Pay care-
ful attention to other motorists,
especially at intersections,
because they may not be paying
attention to you. Select a lane
position that gives you the best
view of others, and other motor-
ists the best view of you. Wear
bright, reflective clothing. Put
reflective strips on your helmet.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE A HELMET,
BUY A HELMET AND WEAR IT
EVERY TIME YOU RIDE
Most accidents occur within a few
miles of home, and almost half
occur at speeds of less than 30
mph. So even if you’re just going
on a quick errand, be prepared -
strap on your helmet before you
take off.
1-3
Helmets do not reduce essential
vision or hearing. Generally, hel-
mets do not cause or intensify
injury if you crash. Helmets simply
help your skull protect your intelli-
gence, your memory, your per-
sonality, and your life.
Your eyesight is equally valuable.
Wearing suitable eye protection
can help keep your vision
unblurred by the wind and save
your eyes from airborne hazards
like bugs, dirt, or pebbles kicked
up by tires.
IF A COLLISION IS IMMINENT,
DO SOMETHING
Many riders fear locking up their
brakes or haven’t learned to
swerve to avoid an accident.
Many inexperienced riders (and
too many seasoned riders) use
only their rear brake in an emer-
gency, resulting in unnecessary
impacts in some cases and
unnecessarily high impact speeds
in other cases. Your rear brake
can only provide about 30% of
your motorcycle’s potential stop-
ping power. The front and rear
brakes can and should be used
together to maximize braking
effectiveness.
Experienced motorcyclists learn
to “cover” the front brake lever by
lightly resting a couple of fingers
over the lever when riding in traffic
and near intersections to give
their reaction time a head start.
Emergency stopping and swerv-
ing are techniques that you
should practice and master before
you find yourself in an emergency
situation. The best place to prac-
tice such techniques is in a con-
trolled environment such as the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s
(MSF) rider training courses. The
MSF’s Motorcycle Rider Courses
(fundamental techniques) and
Experienced Rider Courses
(advanced strategies) present
hands-on instruction of the basic
principles of motorcycling and a
variety of accident-avoidance
maneuvers. Even a seasoned
motorcyclist can improved his or
her riding skills, and pick up a few
new skills, through these courses.
Some insurance companies even
offer discounts to course gradu-
ates.
1-4
SPECIAL SITUATIONS REQUIRE
SPECIAL CARE
Of course, there are some times
when full-force braking is not the
correct technique. When the road
surface is wet, loose, or rough,
you should brake with care. When
you’re leaned over in a corner,
avoid braking. Straighten up
before braking. Better yet, slow
down before entering the corner.
In these situations, the traction
available between your tires and
the road surface is limited. Over-
braking when traction is limited
will cause your tires to skid, possi-
bly resulting in loss of directional
control or causing you and your
motorcycle to fall over.
KNOW YOUR LIMITS
Always ride within the boundaries
of your own skills. Knowing these
limits and staying within them will
help you avoid accidents.
A major cause of accidents involv-
ing only a motorcycle (and no
cars) is going too fast through a
turn. Before entering a turn, select
an appropriately low cornering
speed.
Even on straight roads, ride at a
speed that is appropriate for the
traffic, visibility and road condi-
tions, your motorcycle, and your
experience.
Riding a motorcycle safely
requires that your mental and
physical skills are fully part of the
experience. You should not
attempt to operate a motor vehi-
cle, especially one with two
wheels, if you are tired or under
the influence of alcohol or other
drugs. Alcohol, illegal drugs, and
even some prescription and over-
the-counter drugs can cause
drowsiness, loss of coordination,
loss of balance, and especially
the loss of good judgment. If you
are tired or under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs, PLEASE
DO NOT RIDE your motorcycle.
BE EXTRA SAFETY-CONSCIOUS
ON BAD WEATHER DAYS
Riding on bad weather days,
especially wet ones, requires
extra caution. Braking distances
increase on a rainy day. Stay off
the painted surface marks, man-
hole covers, and greasy-appear-
ing areas, as they can be
especially slippery. Use extra cau-
tion at railway crossings and on
metal gratings and bridges. When
it starts to rain, any oil or grease
on the road rises to the surface of
the water. Pull over and wait a few
minutes until this oil film is
washed away before riding.
Whenever in doubt about road
conditions, slow down!
1-5
PRACTICE AWAY FROM
TRAFFIC
Your riding skill and your mechan-
ical knowledge form the founda-
tion for safe riding practices. We
suggest that you practice riding
your motorcycle in a non-traffic
situation until you are thoroughly
familiar with your machine and its
controls. Again, consider taking
one of the MSF’s Rider Courses.
Even experts will be pleased with
the caliber of the information pre-
sented in these courses. As the
MSF says: “The more you know,
the better it gets!”
INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING
Review the instructions in the
“INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING”
section of this manual. Perform an
entire pre-ride inspection before
you head out on the road. Spend-
ing a few minutes preparing your
machine for a ride can help pre-
vent accidents due to mechanical
failure or costly, inconvenient
breakdowns far from home.
ACCESSORIES AND LOADING
The accessories you use with
your motorcycle and the manner
in which you load your gear onto
the bike might create hazards.
Aerodynamics, handling, balance,
and cornering clearance can suf-
fer, and the suspension and tires
can be overloaded. Read the
“ACCESSORY USE AND
MOTORCYCLE LOADING” sec-
tion.
CARRYING A PASSENGER
Carrying a passenger, when done
correctly, is a great way to share
the joy of motorcycling. You will
have to alter your riding style
somewhat since the extra weight
of a passenger will affect handling
and braking. You may also need
to adjust tire pressures and sus-
pension; please refer to the Tire
Pressure and Loading section
and the Suspension section for
more details.
A passenger needs the same pro-
tection that you do, including a
helmet and proper clothing. The
passenger should not wear long
shoe laces or loose pants that
could get caught in the wheel or
the chain. Passengers must be
tall enough that their feet reach
the footrests.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
FOUNDATION’S
“RIDING TIPS AND PRACTICE
GUIDE” HANDBOOK
(FOR OWNERS IN USA)
This special handbook, supplied
with your owner’s manual, con-
tains a variety of safety tips, help-
ful hints, and practice exercises.
This manual can increase your
riding enjoyment and safety. You
should read it thoroughly.
BE STREET SMART
Always heed speed limits, local
laws, and the basic rules of the
road. Set a good example for oth-
ers by demonstrating a courteous
attitude and a responsible riding
style.
LABELS
Read and follow all the labels on
the motorcycle. Make sure you
understand all of the labels. Do
not remove any labels from the
motorcycle.
CONCLUSION
Traffic, road and weather condi-
tions vary. Other motorists’
actions are unpredictable. Your
motorcycle’s condition can
change. These factors can best
be dealt with by giving every ride
your full attention.
Circumstances beyond your con-
trol could lead to an accident. You
need to prepare for the unex-
pected by wearing a helmet and
other protective gear, and learn-
ing emergency braking and
swerving techniques to minimize
the damage to you and your
machine.
The best way to learn basic riding
skills and evasive maneuvers or
refresh your own riding skills is to
take one of the courses offered by
the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.
Your Suzuki dealer can help you
locate the fundamental or
advanced riding skills course
nearest you, or owners in the USA
can call toll-free 1-800-446-9227.
Good riding on your new Suzuki!

RECOMMENDATIONS
FUEL
Your motorcycle requires
unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum pump octane rating of 87
((R+M)/2 method). In some areas,
the only fuels that are available
are oxygenated fuels.
NOTE:
If the engine develops some
trouble like lack of acceleration
or insufficient power, the cause
may be due to the fuel the
motorcycle uses. In such case,
try changing to a different gas
station. If the situation is not
improved by changing, consult
your Suzuki dealer.
If pinking or knocking is experi-
enced, substitute higher
octane grade gasoline or
another brand, because there
are differences between
brands.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the
minimum octane requirement and
the requirements described below
may be used in your motorcycle
without jeopardizing the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty or the
Emission Control System War-
ranty.
NOTE: Oxygenated fuels are
fuels which contain oxygen-carry-
ing additives such as alcohol.
Gasoline/Ethanol Blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and
ethanol (grain alcohol), also
known as GASOHOL, are com-
mercially available in some areas.
Blends of this type may be used in
your motorcycle if they are no
more than 10% ethanol. Make
sure this gasoline-ethanol blend
has octane ratings no lower than
those recommended for gasoline.
Use the recommended gasoline
which conforms to the following
labels.
or
2-3
Fuel Pump Labeling
In some states, pumps that dis-
pense oxygenated fuels are
required to be labeled for the type
and percentage of oxygenate, and
whether important additives are
present. Such labels may provide
enough information for you to
determine if a particular blend of
fuel meets the requirements listed
above. In other states, pumps
may not be clearly labeled as to
the content or type of oxygenate
and additives. If you are not sure
that the fuel you intend to use
meets these requirements, check
with the service station operator
or the fuel supplier.
NOTE:
To help minimize air pollution,
Suzuki recommends that you
use oxygenated fuels.
Be sure that any oxygenated
fuel you use has octane rat-
ings of at least 87 pump
octane ((R+M)/2 method).
If you are not satisfied with the
drivability of your motorcycle
when you are using an oxy-
genated fuel, or if engine ping-
ing is experienced, substitute
another brand as there are dif-
ferences between brands.
NOTICE
Spilled gasoline containing
alcohol can damage the
painted surfaces of your
motorcycle.
Be careful not to spill any fuel
when filling the fuel tank. Wipe
spilled gasoline up immedi-
ately.
2-4
ENGINE OIL
Suzuki recommends the use of
SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4
MOTOR OIL or equivalent engine
oil. If SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4
MOTOR OIL is not available,
select a proper engine oil accord-
ing to the following guideline.
Oil quality is a major contributor to
your engine’s performance and
life. Always select good quality
engine oil. Use oil with an API
(American Petroleum Institute)
classification of SG, SH, SJ, SL,
SM or SN with a JASO classifica-
tion of MA.
API: American Petroleum Institute
JASO: Japanese Automobile
Standards Organization
NOTE: SUZUKI highly recom-
mends the use of ECSTAR brand
engine oil. ECSTAR has been
specially formulated for your
SUZUKI product and contributes
to the desired motorcycle perfor-
mance and ideal riding experi-
ence.
SAE Engine Oil Viscosity
Suzuki recommends the use of
SAE 10W-40 engine oil. If SAE
10W-40 engine oil is not available,
select an alternative according to
the following chart.
* USE ONLY SG, SH, SJ or SL.
JASO T903
The JASO T903 standard is an
index to select engine oils for 4-
stroke motorcycle and ATV
engines. Motorcycle and ATV
engines lubricate clutch and
transmission gears with engine
oil. JASO T903 specifies perfor-
mance requirements for motorcy-
cle and ATV clutches and
transmissions.
There are two classes, MA and
MB. The oil container shows the
classification as follows.

Energy Conserving
Suzuki does not recommend the
use of “ENERGY CONSERVING”
or “RESOURCE CONSERVING”
oils. Some engine oils which have
an API classification of SH, SJ,
SL, SM or SN have an ENERGY
CONSERVING” or “RESOURCE
CONSERVING” indication in the
API classification donut mark.
These oils can affect engine life
and clutch performance.

BREAK-IN AND
INSPECTION BEFORE
RIDING
BREAK-IN
The first 800 km (500 miles) is the
most important in the life of your
motorcycle. Proper operation dur-
ing this break-in period will help
assure maximum life and perfor-
mance from your new motorcycle.
The following guidelines explain
proper break-in procedures.
Maximum Engine Speed
Recommendation
The table below shows the maxi-
mum engine speed recommenda-
tion during the break-in period.
Vary the Engine Speed
Vary the engine speed during the
break-in period. This allows the
parts to “load” (aiding the mating
process) and then “unload”
(allowing the parts to cool).
Although it is essential to place
some stress on the engine com-
ponents during break-in, you must
be careful not to load the engine
too much.
Breaking in the New Tires
New tires need proper break-in to
assure maximum performance,
just as the engine does. Wear- in
the tread surface by gradually
increasing your cornering lean
angles over the first 160 km (100
miles) before attempting maxi-
mum performance. Avoid hard
acceleration, hard cornering, and
hard braking for the first 160 km
(100 miles).
.
Avoid Constant Low Speed
Operating the engine at constant
low speed (light load) can cause
parts to glaze and not seat in.
Allow the engine to accelerate
freely through the gears, without
exceeding the recommended
maximum limits. Do not, however,
use full throttle for the first 1600
km (1000 miles).
Initial 800 km
(500 miles) Below 5000 r/min
Up to 1600 km
(1000 miles) Below 7500 r/min
Over 1600 km
(1000 miles) Below 10500 r/min
WARNING
Failure to perform break-in of
the tires could cause tire slip
and loss of control.
Use extra care when riding on
new tires. Perform proper
break-in of the tires as
described in this section and
avoid hard acceleration, hard
cornering, and hard braking for
the first 160 km (100 miles).
4-4
Check the condition of the motor-
cycle to help make sure that you
do not have mechanical problems
or get stranded somewhere when
you ride. Before riding the motor-
cycle, be sure to check the follow-
ing items. Be sure your
motorcycle is in good condition for
the personal safety of the rider,
passenger and protection of the
motorcycle.
 WARNING
Checking maintenance items
when the engine is running can
be hazardous. You could be
severely injured if your hands
or clothing get caught in mov-
ing engine parts.
Shut the engine off when per-
forming maintenance checks,
except when checking the
lights, engine stop switch, and
throttle.

RIDING ON HILLS
When climbing steep hills, the
motorcycle may begin to slow
down and show lack of power.
At this point you should shift to
a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its
normal power range. Shift rap-
idly to prevent the motorcycle
from losing momentum.
When riding down a steep hill,
the engine may be used for
braking by shifting to a lower
gear.
Be careful, however, not to
allow the engine to overrev.
NOTICE
Revving the engine into the red
zone can cause severe engine
damage.
Never allow the engine to rev
into the red zone in any gear.

the dust from the air cleaner ele-
ment.
NOTE: Always apply air pressure
to the mesh side of the air cleaner
element only. If you apply air pres-
sure to the fabric side, dirt will be
forced into the pores of the ele-
ment, restricting the air flow
through the element.
Installation
Reinstall the air cleaner element
in reverse order of removal.
NOTE: Be careful not to spray
water on the air cleaner box when
cleaning the motorcycle.
Reinstall the fuel tank.
NOTE: Check that the fuel tank
drain hose and breather hose are
not bent before reinstalling the
fuel tank.
NOTICE
A torn air cleaner element will
allow dirt to enter the engine
and can damage the engine.
Replace the air cleaner element
with a new one if it is torn.
Carefully examine the air
cleaner element for tears dur-
ing cleaning.
NOTICE
Failure to position the air
cleaner element properly can
allow dirt to bypass the air
cleaner element. This will
cause engine damage.
Be sure to properly install the
air cleaner element.

Installation
To install the spark plug:
1. Install a spark plug, turn it in
as far as possible with your fin-
gers, then tighten it with a
wrench.
2. Connect the spark plug caps
securely.
3. Reinstall the side cowlings.
ENGINE OIL
Engine life depends on oil amount
and quality. Daily oil level checks
and periodic changes are two of
the most important maintenance
items to be performed.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level as fol-
lows:
1. Place the motorcycle on level
ground on the side stand.
2. Start the engine and allow it to
idle for three minutes.
3. Stop the engine and wait
approximately three minutes.
4. Hold the motorcycle vertically
and check the oil level through
the oil level inspection window
on the right side of the engine.
The engine oil level should be
between the L (low) and the
“F” (full) lines.
NOTICE
Improper installation of the
spark plug can damage your
motorcycle. An overly-tight or
cross-threaded spark plug will
damage the aluminum threads
of the cylinder head.
Carefully turn the spark plug
by hand into the threads. If the
spark plug is new, tighten it
with a wrench about 1/2 turn
past finger tight. If you are
reusing the old spark plug,
tighten it with a wrench about
1/8 turn past finger tight.
NOTICE
Dirt can damage the moving
engine parts of your motorcy-
cle if it enters an open spark
plug hole.
Cover the spark plug hole
while the spark plug is out of
the hole.
