IMPORTANT
BREAK-IN (RUNNING-IN)
INFORMATION FOR YOUR
MOTORCYCLE
The first 1600 km (1000 miles) are the most
important in the life of your motorcycle.
Proper break-in operation during this time
will help ensure maximum life and perfor-
mance from your new motorcycle. Suzuki
parts are manufactured of high quality mate-
rials, and machined parts are finished to
close tolerances. Proper break-in operation
allows the machined surfaces to polish each
other and mate smoothly.
Motorcycle reliability and performance
depend on special care and restraint exer-
cised during the break-in period. It is espe-
cially important that you avoid operating the
engine in a manner which could expose the
engine parts to excessive heat.
Please refer to the BREAK-IN (RUNNING-
IN) section for specific break-in recommen-
dations.

WARNING/CAUTION/NOTE
Please read this manual and follow its
instructions carefully. To emphasize special
information the words WARNING, CAUTION
and NOTE carry special meanings and
should be carefully reviewed.
NOTE: This provides special information to
make maintenance easier or important
instructions clearer.
