ACCESSORY INSTALLATION GUIDELINES• Install aerodynamic-affecting accesso-

ries, such as a fairing, windshield, back-rests, saddlebags, and travel trunks, aslow as possible, as close the motorcycleand as near the center of gravity as isfeasible. Check that the mounting brack-ets and other attachment hardware arerigidly mounted.

• Inspect for proper ground clearance andbank angle. Inspect that the accessorydoes not interfere with the operation ofthe suspension, steering or other controloperations.

• Accessories fitted to the handlebars orthe front fork area can create seriousstability problems. This extra weight willcause the motorcycle to be less respon-sive to your steering control.

After moving the side stand to the fully upposition, squeeze the clutch lever in andpause momentarily. Engage first gear bydepressing the gearshift lever downward.Turn the throttle grip toward you and at thesame time release the clutch lever gentlyand smoothly. As the clutch engages, themotorcycle will start moving forward. To shiftto the next higher gear, accelerate gently,then close the throttle and squeeze theclutch lever in simultaneously.

USING THE TRANSMISSIONThe transmission is provided to keep theengine operating smoothly in its normaloperating speed range. The gear ratios havebeen carefully chosen to meet the charac-teristics of the engine. The rider shouldalways select the most suitable gear for theprevailing conditions. Never slip the clutch tocontrol road speed, but rather downshift toallow the engine to run within its normaloperational range.

WARNINGDownshifting when engine speed is toohigh can;• cause the rear wheel to skid and lose

traction due to increased engine brak-ing, resulting in an accident; or

• force the engine to overrev in thelower gear, resulting in engine dam-age.

TIRES

WARNINGThe tires on your motorcycle form thecrucial link between your motorcycleand the road. Failure to take the precau-tions below may result in an accidentdue to tire failure.

• Check tire condition and pressurebefore each ride, and adjust pressureif necessary.

• Avoid overloading your motorcycle.• Replace a tire when worn to the speci-

fied limit, or if you find damage suchas cuts or cracks.

• Always use the size and type of tiresspecified in this owner’s manual.

• Read this section of the owner’s man-ual carefully.

TIRE PRESSURE AND LOADINGProper tire pressure and proper tire loadingare important factors. Overloading your tirescan lead to tire failure and loss of motorcyclecontrol.

Check tire pressure each day before youride, and adjust tire pressure and be surethe pressure is correct for the motorcycleload according to the table as follows. Tirepressure should only be checked andadjusted before riding, since riding will heatup the tires and lead to higher inflation pres-sure readings.

Under-inflated tires make smooth corneringdifficult, and can result in rapid tire wear.Over-inflated tires cause a smaller amountof tire to be in contact with the road, whichcan contribute to skidding and loss of con-trol.

CORROSION PREVENTIONIt is important to take good care of yourmotorcycle to protect it from corrosion andkeep it looking new for years to come.

Important Information About CorrosionCommon causes of corrosion• Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture,

or chemicals in hard-to-reach areas.• Chipping, scratches, and any damage to

treated or painted metal surfaces result-ing from minor accidents or impacts fromstones and gravel.

Road salt, sea air, industrial pollution, andhigh humidity will all contribute to corrosion.

• Store your motorcycle in a dry, well-ven-tilated area. If you often wash yourmotorcycle in the garage or if you fre-quently park it inside when wet, yourgarage may be damp. The high humiditymay cause or accelerate corrosion. Awet motorcycle may corrode even in aheated garage if the ventilation is poor.

• Cover your motorcycle. Exposure to mid-day sun can cause the colors in paint,plastic parts, and instrument faces tofade. Covering your motorcycle with ahigh-quality, “breathable” motorcyclecover can help protect the finish from theharmful UV rays in sunlight, and canreduce the amount of dust and air pollu-tion reaching the surface. Your Suzukidealer can help you select the rightcover for your motorcycle.

WAXING THE MOTORCYCLEAfter washing the motorcycle, waxing andpolishing are recommended to further pro-tect and beautify the paint.• Only use waxes and polishes of good

quality.• When using waxes and polishes,

observe the precautions specified by themanufacturers.

SPECIAL CARE FOR MATTE FINISH PAINTDo not use polishing compounds or waxesthat contain polishing compounds on sur-faces which have a matte finish. The use ofpolishing compounds will change theappearance of the matte finish.

Solid type waxes may be difficult to removefrom surfaces with a matte finish.

Friction while riding, excessive rubbing orpolishing of a surface with a matte finish willchange its appearance.

INSPECTION AFTER CLEANINGFor extended life of your motorcycle, lubri-cate it according to the “LUBRICATIONPOINTS” section.

Follow the procedures in the “INSPECTIONBEFORE RIDING” section to check yourmotorcycle for any problems that may havearisen during your last ride.

WARNINGOperating the motorcycle with wetbrakes can be hazardous. Wet brakesmay not provide as much stoppingpower as dry brakes. This could lead toan accident.

Test your brakes after washing themotorcycle, while riding at slow speed. Ifnecessary, apply the brakes severaltimes to let friction dry out the linings.
