1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING/CAUTION/NOTE
Please read this manual and follow its instructions carefully. To emphasize special information, the symbol
and the words WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE have special meanings. Pay special attention to the mes-
sages highlighted by these signal words.
!
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in death or injury.
#
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in vehicle damage.
NOTE:
Indicates special information to make maintenance easier or instructions clearer.
Please note, however, that the warnings and cautions contained in this manual cannot possibly cover all
potential hazards relating to the servicing, or lack of servicing, of the vehicle. In addition to the WARNINGS
and CAUTIONS stated, you must use good judgement and basic mechanical safety principles. If you are
unsure about how to perform a particular service operation, ask a more experienced mechanic for advice.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
!
* Proper service and repair procedures are important for the safety of the service mechanic and
the safety and reliability of the vehicle.
* When 2 or more persons work together, pay attention to the safety of each other.
* When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that exhaust gas is forced out-
doors.
* When working with toxic or flammable materials, make sure that the area you work in is well-
ventilated and that you follow all of the material manufacturer’s instructions.
* Never use gasoline as a cleaning solvent.
* To avoid getting burned, do not touch the engine, engine oil, radiator and exhaust system
until they have cooled.
After servicing the fuel, oil, water, exhaust or brake systems, check all lines and fittings related
to the system for leaks.

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3
#
* If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with Suzuki Genuine Parts or their equiva-
lent.
* When removing parts that are to be reused, keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that
they may be reinstalled in the proper order and orientation.
* Be sure to use special tools when instructed.
* Make sure that all parts used in reassembly are clean. Lubricate them when specified.
* Use the specified lubricant, bond, or sealant.
* When removing the battery, disconnect the negative cable first and then the positive cable.
* When reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first and then the negative cable,
and replace the terminal cover on the positive terminal.
* When performing service to electrical parts, if the service procedures do not require use of
battery power, disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
* When tightening the cylinder head or case bolts and nuts, tighten the larger sizes first.
Always tighten the bolts and nuts diagonally from the inside toward outside and to the speci-
fied tightening torque.
* Whenever you remove oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, locking washers, self-locking
nuts, cotter pins, circlips and certain other parts as specified, be sure to replace them with
new ones. Also, before installing these new parts, be sure to remove any left over material
from the mating surfaces.
* Never reuse a circlip. When installing a new circlip, take care not to expand the end gap larger
than required to slip the circlip over the shaft. After installing a circlip, always ensure that it is
completely seated in its groove and securely fitted.
* Use a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the specified torque. Wipe off grease and oil if a
thread is smeared with them.
* After reassembling, check parts for tightness and proper operation.
* To protect the environment, do not unlawfully dispose of used motor oil, engine coolant and
other fluids: batteries and tires.
* To protect Earth’s natural resources, properly dispose of used vehicle and parts.

1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
SUZUKI LT-R450K6 (’06-MODEL)
• Difference between photograph and actual vehicle may exist depending on the markets.
SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
The frame serial number or V.I.N. (Vehicle Identification Number)
1is stamped on the right side of the
steering head pipe. The engine serial number
2is located on the rear side of the crankcase. These num-
bers are required especially for registering the machine and ordering spare parts.
RIGHT SIDE

GENERAL INFORMATION 1-5
FUEL, OIL AND ENGINE COOLANT RECOMMENDATION
FUEL (FOR USA AND CANADA)
Use only unleaded gasoline of at least 90 pump octane (R/2 + M/2).
Gasoline containing MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether), less than 10% ethanol, or less than 5% methanol
with appropriate cosolvents and corrosion inhibitor is permissible.
FUEL (FOR OTHER COUNTRIES)
Gasoline used should be graded 95 octane (Research Method) or higher. Unleaded gasoline is recom-
mended.
ENGINE OIL (FOR USA)
Oil quality is a major contributor to your engine’s performance and life. Always select good quality engine oil.
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4 MOTOR OIL or equivalent engine oil. Use of
SF/SG or SH/SJ in API with MA in JASO.
Suzuki recommends the use of SAE 10W-40 engine oil. If SAE 10W-40 engine oil is not available, select an
alternative according to the following chart.
ENGINE OIL (FOR OTHER COUNTRIES)
Oil quality is a major contributor to your engine’s performance
and life. Always select good quality engine oil. Use of SF/SG or
SH/SJ in API with MA in JASO.
Suzuki recommends the use of SAE 10W-40 engine oil. If SAE
10W-40 engine oil is not available, select an alternative accord-
ing to the right chart.
BRAKE FLUID
Specification and classification: DOT 4
!
Since the brake system of this vehicle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid by the manufac-
turer, do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based and petroleum-based
fluid for refilling the system, otherwise serious damage will result.
Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers.
Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servicing, which has been stored for a long
period.

1-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE COOLANT
Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only.
WATER FOR MIXING
Use distilled water only. Water other than distilled water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
ANTI-FREEZE/ENGINE COOLANT
The engine coolant performs as a corrosion and rust inhibitor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the engine
coolant should be used at all times even though the atmospheric temperature in your area does not go down
to freezing point.
Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI COOLANT anti-freeze/engine coolant. If this is not available, use
an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
LIQUID AMOUNT OF WATER/ENGINE COOLANT
Solution capacity (total): Approx. 1 400 ml (1.5/1.2 US/Imp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to cooling system section in page 6-2.
#
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
During manufacture only the best possible materials are used and all machined parts are finished to a very
high standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts to “BREAK-IN” before subjecting the engine
to maximum stresses. The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint
exercised during its early life. The general rules are as follows.
• Keep to these break-in engine speed limits:
Break-in engine speeds
Initial 10 hours: Less than ½throttle
• After the engine has been operated for 10 hours the engine to full throttle operation, for short periods of
time.
Mixing of anti-freeze/engine coolant should be limited to 60%. Mixing beyond it would reduce
its efficiency. If the anti-freeze/engine coolant mixing ratio is below 50%, rust inhabiting perfor-
mance is greatly reduced. Be sure to mix it above 50% even though the atmospheric tempera-
ture does not go down to the freezing point.

MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES
This section describes the servicing procedures for each item
mentioned in the Periodic Maintenance chart.
AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be
increased, with a resultant decrease in power output and an
increase in fuel consumption. Check and clean the air cleaner
element in the following manner.
• Remove the seat. (%7-6)
• Remove the air cleaner case cover
1.
• Remove the air cleaner element
2.
• Separate the polyurethane foam element
3, element frame
4and element holder.
• Fill a wash pan of a proper size with a non-flammable clean-
ing solvent. Immerse the air cleaner element in the cleaning
solvent and wash it.
• Press the air cleaner element between the palms of both
hands to remove the excess solvent: do not twist or wring the
element or it will tear.
• Immerse the element in motor oil, and then squeeze out the
excess oil leaving the element slightly wet.
ANon-flammable cleaning solvent
BMOTUL AIR FILTER OIL or equivalent filter oil
Clean every 3 months.
