Spoke Inspection
Check the tension of spokes to
verify the tightness of the spoke
nipples. The tension can be
checked by hitting the spokes with
a small metal bar. If the spoke nip-
ple is loose, its sound will be dull.
To tighten the spoke nipples prop-
erly, tighten them equally to the
specified torque. Loosened and
overtightened spoke nipples may
cause unequal tension of spokes
and may result in distortion of the
wheel rim. Contact your Suzuki
dealer for this service to be per-
formed.
SIDE STAND/IGNITION
INTERLOCK SYSTEM
Check the side stand/ignition
interlock system for proper opera-
tion as follows:
1. Sit on the motorcycle in the
normal riding position, with the
side stand up.
2. Shift into first gear, hold the
clutch in, and start the engine.
3. While continuing to hold the
clutch in, move the side stand
to the down position.
If the engine stops running when
the side stand is moved to the
down position, then the side
stand/ignition interlock switch is
working properly. If the engine
continues to run with the side
stand down and the transmission
in gear, then the side stand/igni-
tion interlock system is not work-
ing properly. If the engine
continues to run with the side
stand down and the transmission
in gear, then the side stand/igni-
tion interlock system is not work-
ing properly. Have your
motorcycle inspected by an
authorized Suzuki dealer or some
other qualified service mechanic.
