CLEANING

STORAGE PROCEDURE

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. Turn the han-

dlebars all the way to the left and

lock the steering, and remove the

ignition key.

FUEL

1. Fill the fuel tank to the top with

fuel mixed with the amount of

gasoline stabilizer recom-

mended by the stabilizer man-

ufacturer.

2. Run the engine for a few min-

utes until the stabilized gaso-

line fills the fuel injection

system.

ENGINE

1. Pour one tablespoon of motor

oil into each spark plug hole.

Reinstall the spark plugs and

crank the engine a few times.

2. Drain the engine oil thoroughly

and refill the crankcase with

fresh engine oil all the way up

to the filler hole.

3. Cover the air cleaner intake

and the muffler outlet with oily

rags to prevent humidity from

entering.

BATTERY

1. Remove the battery from the

motorcycle.

2. Clean the outside of the bat-

tery with mild soap and

remove corrosion from the ter-

minals and wiring harness.

3. Store the battery in a room

above freezing.

sure.
