STORAGE PROCEDURE
AND APPEARANCE
CARE
If your motorcycle is to be left
unused for an extended period of
time, it needs special servicing
requiring appropriate materials,
equipment and skill. For this rea-
son, Suzuki recommends that you
trust this maintenance work to
your Suzuki dealer. If you wish to
service the machine for storage
yourself, follow the general guide-
lines below:
MOTORCYCLE
Clean the entire motorcycle.
Place the motorcycle on the side
stand on a firm, flat surface where
it will not fall over.
FUEL
Drain the fuel from the fuel tank
using a commercially available
hand pump or siphon. Drain the
fuel from the carburetor using the
carburetor drain screw.
ENGINE
Drain the transmission oil com-
pletely and refill the transmission
oil all the way up to the filler hole.
Cover the air cleaner intake and
the muffler outlet with oily rags to
prevent humidity from entering.
TIRES
Inflate tires to the normal pres-
sure.
WARNING
Fuel and fuel vapor are highly
flammable and toxic. You can
be burned or poisoned when
handling fuel.
When draining the fuel:
• Stop the engine and keep
flames, sparks, and heat
sources away.
• Drain fuel only outdoors or in
a well-ventilated area.
• Do not smoke.
• Wipe up spills immediately.
• Avoid breathing fuel vapor.
• Keep children and pets away.
• Dispose of drained fuel prop-
erly.
