NOTE:
• To help minimize air pollution,
Suzuki recommends that you
use oxygenated fuels.
• Be sure that any oxygenated
fuel you use has octane rat-
ings of at least 87 pump
octane ((R+M)/2 method).
• If you are not satisfied with the
driveability or fuel economy of
your motorcycle when you are
using an oxygenated fuel, or if
engine pinging is experi-
enced, substitute another
brand as there are differences
between brands.
