The chart indicates the intervals between periodic services in miles, kilometers and months. At the end of each interval, be sure to inspect, lubricate and service as instructed.

If your motorcycle is used under high stress conditions such as continuous full throttle, or is operated in a dusty climate, certain services should be performed more often to ensure reliability of the machine as explained in the maintenance section of your Owner's Manual.

Your authorized Suzuki dealer can provide you with further guidelines. Steering components, suspension and wheel components are key items and require very special and careful servicing. For maximum safety we suggest that you have these items inspected and serviced by your authorized Suzuki dealer or a qualified service mechanic.

WARNING

Improper maintenance or failure to perform recommended maintenance increases the chance of an accident or motorcycle damage. Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner's manual. Ask your SUZUKI dealer or a qualified mechanic to do the maintenance items marked with an asterisk (*). You may perform the unmarked maintenance items by referring to the instructions in the Owner's Manual, if you have mechanical experience. If you are not sure how to do any of the jobs, have your SUZUKI dealer or a qualified mechanic do them.

WARNING

Running the engine indoors or in a garage can be hazardous. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a gas that is colorless and odorless and can cause death or severe injury. Only run the engine outdoors where there is fresh air.

CAUTION

Using poor quality replacement parts can cause your motorcycle to wear more quickly and may shorten its useful life.

Use only genuine SUZUKI replacement parts or their equivalent.
