GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
* Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of the service mechanic and
the safety and reliability of the motorcycle.
* When 2 or more persons work together, pay attention to the safety of each other.
* When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that exhaust gas is forced out-
doors.
* When working with toxic or flammable materials, make sure that the area you work in is well-
ventilated and that you follow all of the material manufacturer’s instructions.
* Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.
* To avoid getting burned, do not touch the engine, engine oil, radiator and exhaust system
until they have cooled.
After servicing the fuel, oil, water, exhaust or brake systems, check all lines and fittings related
to the system for leaks.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
* If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with Suzuki Genuine Parts or their equiva-
lent.
* When removing parts that are to be reused, keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that
they may be reinstalled in the proper order and orientation.
* Be sure to use special tools when instructed.
* Make sure that all parts used in reassembly are clean. Lubricate them when specified.
* Use the specified lubricant, bond, or sealant.
* When removing the battery, disconnect the negative cable first and then the positive cable.
* When reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable,
and replace the terminal cover on the positive terminal.
* When performing service to electrical parts, if the service procedures do not require use of
battery power, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
* When tightening the cylinder head or case bolts and nuts, tighten the larger sizes first.
Always tighten the bolts and nuts diagonally from the inside toward outside and to the speci-
nuts, cotter pins, circlips and certain other parts as specified, be sure to replace them with
new ones. Also, before installing these new parts, be sure to remove any left over material
from the mating surfaces.
* Never reuse a circlip. When installing a new circlip, take care not to expand the end gap larger
than required to slip the circlip over the shaft. After installing a circlip, always ensure that it is
completely seated in its groove and securely fitted.
* Use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the specified torque. Wipe off grease and oil if a
thread is smeared with them.
* After reassembling, check parts for tightness and proper operation.
* To protect the environment, do not unlawfully dispose of used motor oil, engine coolant and
other fluids: batteries and tires.
* To protect Earth’s natural resources, properly dispose of used motorcycle and parts.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
FUEL, OIL AND ENGINE COOLANT RECOMMENDATION
FUEL (FOR USA AND CANADA)
Use only unleaded gasoline of at least 87 pump octane (R/2 + M/2) or 91 octane or higher rated by the
research method.
Gasoline containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether), less than 10% ethanol, or less than 5% methanol
with appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitor is permissible.
FUEL (FOR OTHER COUNTRIES)
Gasoline used should be graded 91 octane (Research Method) or higher. Unleaded gasoline is recommended.
ENGINE OIL (FOR USA)
Oil quality is a major contributor to your engine’s performance and life. Always select good quality engine oil.
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4 MOTOR OIL or equivalent engine oil. Use of
SF/SG or SH/SJ in API with MA in JASO.
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.
ENGINE OIL (FOR OTHER COUNTRIES)
Oil quality is a major contributor to your engine’s performance
and life. Always select good quality engine oil. Use of SF/SG or
SH/SJ in API with MA in JASO.
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 right chart.
BRAKE FLUID
Specification and classification: DOT 4
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manufacturer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based
fluid for refilling the system, otherwise serious damage will result.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers.
Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long
period.
1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT FORK OIL
Use fork oil SS-05 or an equivalent fork oil.
ENGINE COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only.
WATER FOR MIXING
Use distilled water only. Water other than distilled water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
ANTI-FREEZE/ENGINE COOLANT
The engine coolant performs as a corrosion and rust inhibitor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the engine
coolant should be used at all times even though the atmospheric temperature in your area does not go down
to freezing point.
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI COOLANT anti-freeze/engine coolant. If this is not available, use
an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
LIQUID AMOUNT OF WATER/ENGINE COOLANT
Solution capacity (total): Approx. 2 700 ml (2.9/2.4 US/Imp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to cooling system section in page 7-2.
Mixing of anti-freeze/engine coolant should be limited to 60%. Mixing beyond it would reduce
its efficiency. If the anti-freeze/engine coolant mixing ratio is below 50%, rust inhabiting performance is greatly reduced. Be sure to mix it above 50% even though the atmospheric temperature does not go down to the freezing point.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1-7
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-IN” before subjecting the engine
to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
• Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Initial800 km ( 500 miles): Below 8 000 r/min
Up to1 600 km (1 000 miles): Below 12 000 r/min
Over to 1 600 km (1 000 miles): Below 16 000 r/min
• Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km (1 000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation.
However, do not exceed 16 000 r/min at any time.
CYLINDER IDENTIFICATION
The four cylinders of this engine are identified as No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 cylinder, as counted from left
to right (as viewed by the rider on the seat.)

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-7
The valve clearance specification is different for intake and
exhaust valves. Valve clearance must be checked and adjusted,
1) at the time of periodic inspection, 2) when the valve mechanism is serviced, and 3) when the camshafts are removed for
servicing.
Valve clearance (when cold):
Standard: IN. : 0.08 – 0.18 mm (0.003 – 0.007 in)
EX. : 0.18 – 0.28 mm (0.007 – 0.011 in)
NOTE:
* The cam must be at positions,
A
or B, when checking or
adjusting the valve clearance. Clearance readings should not
be taken with the cam in any other position than these two
positions.
* The clearance specification is for COLD state.
* To turn the crankshaft for clearance checking, be sure to use a
wrench, and rotate in the normal running direction. All spark
plugs should be removed.
• Remove the valve timing inspection cap 1.
EX.IN.
2-8 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Turn the crankshaft to bring the line A on the CKP sensor
rotor to the rib B behind the clutch cover and also to bring the
notches A on the left ends of both camshafts (Ex. and In.) to
the positions as shown.
• In this condition, read the valve clearance at the valves B (In.
and Ex. of No. 4 cylinder, Ex. of No. 3 and In. of No. 2).
• If the clearance is out of specification, adjust the clearance.
(2-9)
09900-20803: Thickness gauge
• Turn the crankshaft 360 degrees (one rotation) to bring the
line on the CKP sensor rotor to the index mark of valve timing
inspection hole and also to bring the notches A to the position as shown.

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
The clearance is adjusted by replacing the existing tappet shim
by a thicker or thinner shim.
• Remove the intake or exhaust camshafts. (3-14)
• Remove the tappet and shim by fingers or magnetic hand.
• Check the figures printed on the shim. These figures indicate
the thickness of the shim, as illustrated.
• Select a replacement shim that will provide a clearance within
the specified range. For the purpose of this adjustment, a total
of 21 sizes of tappet shim are available ranging from 1.20 to
2.20 mm in steps of 0.05 mm. Fit the selected shim to the
valve stem end, with numbers toward tappet. Be sure to
check shim size with micrometer to ensure its size. Refer to
the tappet shim selection table (2-10 and -11) for details.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-9
1.70 mm
NOTE:
* Be sure to apply engine oil to tappet shim top and bottom
faces.
* When seating the tappet shim, be sure the figure printed sur-
face faces the tappet.
NOTE:
Reinstall the camshafts in the specified manner. (
• After replacing the tappet shim and camshafts, rotate the
engine so that the tappet is depressed fully. This will squeeze
out oil trapped between the shim and the tappet that could
cause an incorrect measurement. Then check the clearance
again to confirm that it is within the specified range.
• After finishing the valve clearance adjustment, reinstall the following items.
* Cylinder head cover (3-97)
* Spark plug and plug cap (2-6)
* Throttle body assembly (5-21)
* Valve timing inspection plug (3-97)
* PAIR control solenoid valve (11-7)
