PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-19
CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
• Clean the drive chain with kerosine. If the drive chain tends to
rust quickly, the intervals must be shortened.
Do not use trichloroethylene, gasoline or any similar
solvent. These fluids have too great a dissolving power
for this chain and they can damage the O-rings. Use only
kerosine to clean the drive chain.
• After washing and drying the chain, oil it with a heavyweight
motor oil.
* Do not use any oil sold commercially as “drive chain
oil”. Such oil can damage the O-rings.
* The standard drive chain is a RK GB50GSVZ3 Suzuki
recommends to use this standard drive chain as a re-
placement.

* The brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a
glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different
types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-
based fluids. Do not use any brake fluid taken from
old, used or unsealed containers. Never re-use brake
fluid left over from the last servicing or stored for a
long period of time.
* Brake fluid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running
and immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check the
brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and fluid leak-
age before riding.
