Gasoline used should be graded 91 octane (Research Method) or higher. Unleaded gasoline is recom-
mended.
ENGINE OIL AND FINAL GEAR OIL
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 classification 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 accord-
ing to the right chart.

Specification and classification: DOT 4
!
FRONT FORK OIL
Use fork oil G-10 or an equivalent fork oil.
Since the brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manu-
facturer, 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.
