1·1 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 atten- tion to the messages highlighted by these signal words. A WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that could result in death or injury. I A CAUTION I 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 motorcycle. 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 ex- perienced mechanic for advice. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS A WARNING • 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 outdoors. • 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 or exhaust system during or for a while after engine operation. • After servicing fuel, oil, exhaust or brake systems, check all lines and fittings related to the system for leaks.
GENERAL INFORMATION 1·2 I A. CAUTION I • If parts replacement is necessary, replace the parts with Suzuki Genuine Parts or their equivalent. • 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, and also lubricated when specified. • When use of a certain type of lubricant, bond, or sealant is specified, be sure to use the specified type. • 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 not require use of bat- tery power, disconnect the negative cable the battery. • Tighten cylinder head and case bolts and nuts, beginning with larger diameter and ending with smaller diameter, from inside to outside diagonally, to the specified tightening torque. • Whenever you remove oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, cir- clips, and certain other parts as specified, be sure to replace them with new ones. Also, be- fore 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 larg- er 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. • Do not use self-locking nuts a few times over. • Use a torque wrench to tighten fastners to the torque values when specified. Wipe off grease or oil if a thread is smeared with them. • After reassembly, check parts for tightness and operation. • To protect environment, do not unlawfully dispose of used motor oil and other fluids: batter- ies, and tires. • To protect Earth's natural resouces, properly dispose of used vehicles and parts.
