Do not use any brake fluid taken from old or used or unsealed containers. Never re-use brake fluid left over from a previous servi has been stored for a long period. FRONT FORK OIL Use fork oil #15. 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: Initial 800 km ( 500 miles): Below 4 000 r/min Up to 1.600 km (1.000 miles): Below 6 000 r/min Over 1600 km (1.000 miles): Below 8 000 r/min ‘© Upon reaching an odometer reading of 1 600 km (1 000 miles) you can subject the motorcycle to full throttle operation. However, do not exceed 8 000 r/min. * Do not maintain constant engine speed for an extended time period during any portion of the break-in. Try to vary the throttle position.1-5 GENERAL INFORMATION.

(12.6 in) ADJUSTING * Loosen or tighten both chain adjuster bolts @ until the chain has 20-30 mm (0.8-1.2 in) of slack in the middle between engine and rear sprockets. The marks ® on both chain adjusters must be at the same position on the scale to ensure that the front and rear wheels are cor- rectly aligned. ‘© Place the motorcycle on its side-stand for accurate ad- justment. ‘© After adjusting the drive chain, tighten the axle nut to the specified torque. ‘© Tighten both chain adjuster lock nuts @ securely. (B) Rear axle nut: 110 N-m (11.0 kg-m, 79.5 lb-ft)ODIC MAINTENANCE CLEANING AND LUBRICATING ‘© Wash the chain with kerosene. If the chain tends to rust quickly, the intervals must be shortened. 4 CAUTION Do not use trichlene, gasoline or any sit These fluids have too great a dissolving power for this chain and, what is more important, they can damage the “O”-rings (or seals) confining the grease in the bush to pin clearance. Remember, high durabil- ity comes from the presence of grease in that cl ance. t- © After washing and drying the chain, oil it with a heavy- weight motor oil * Do not use any oll sold commercially as “drive chain oil”. Such oll can damage the “O”-rings (or | seals). * The standard drive chain is D.1.D. 525 Vs, 170 links. SUZUKI recommends that this standard drive chain should be used for the replacement.BRAKES (BRAKE) Inspect Initially at 1000 km (600 miles, 2 months) and Every 6 000 km (4000 miles, 12 months) thereafter. (BRAKE HOSE AND BRAKE FLUID) Inspect Every 6 000 km (4.000 miles, 12 months). Replace hoses Every 4 years. Replace fluid Every 2 ve BRAKE FLUID LEVEL © Keep the motorcycle upright and place the handlebars straight. © Check the brake fluid level by observing the lower limit lines on the front and rear brake fluid reservoirs. ‘© When the level is below the lower limit line, replenish with brake fluid that meets the following specification. B Specification and Classification: DOT 4 PROGINS The brake system of this motorcycle is filled with a glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based or petroleum- based. Do not use any brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers. Never re-use brake fluid left over from the last servicing or stored for a long period. | Brake fuid, if it leaks, will interfere with safe running and immediately discolor painted surfaces. Check the brake hoses and hose joints for cracks and oil leakage before riding. BRAKE PADS The extent of brake pad wear can be checked by observing the grooved limit line @ on the pad. When the wear ex- ceeds the grooved limit line, replace the pads with new ones. (Refer to pages 5-39 and 5-46.) ‘A CAUTION Replace the brake pad as a set, otherwise braking | performance will be adversely affected. BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT © Loosen the lock nut @ and rotate the push rod @ to locate brake pedal 5 mm below the top face of the foot- rest. © Retighten the lock nut @ to secure the push rod @ in the proper position. Brake pedal height ®: § mm (0.2 in) PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-122-13 PERIODIC MAIKTENANCE AIR BLEEDING THE BRAKE FLUID CIRCUIT Air trapped in the fluid circuit acts like @ cushion to absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by the master cylinder and thus interferes with the full braking perfor- mance of the brake caliper. The presence of air is indicated by “sponginess” of the brake lever and also by lack of braking force. Considering the danger to which such trapped air exposes the machine and rider, it is essential that, after remounting the brake and restoring the brake system to the normal condition, the brake fluid circuit be Purged of air in the following manner: © Fill up the master cylinder reservoir to the “UPPER” Replace the reservoir cap ta prevent entry of dirt. © Attach a pipe to the caliper bleeder valve, and insert the free end of the pipe into a receptacle. (3) Air bieeder valve: 8 N-m (0.8 kg-m, 6.0 Ib-ft) 8. © Front brake: Bleed the air from the air bleeder valve. © Squeeze and release the brake lever several times in rap- id succession and squeeze the lever fully without releas- ing it. Loosen the bleeder valve by turning it a quarter of a turn so that the brake fluid runs into the receptacle; this will remove the tension of the brake lever causing it to touch the handlebar grip. Then, close the valve, pump and squeeze the lever, and open the valve. Repeat this Process until the fluid flowing into the receptacle no longer contains air bubbles. NOTE: Replenish the brake fluid in the reservoir as necessary While bleeding the brake system. Make sure that there is always some fluid visible in the reservoir. © Close the bleeder vaive, and disconnect the pipe. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid to the “UPPER” end of the in- spection window. ‘a CAUTION Handle brake fluid with care: the fluid reacts chemi- |_ cally with paint, plastics, rubber materials etc. © The only difference between bleeding the front and rear brakes is that the rear master cylinder is actuated by a PedalTIRES Inspect Every 6 000 km (4000 miles, 12 months). TIRE TREAD CONDITION Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will decrease riding stability and consequently invite a danger- ous situation. It is highly recommended to replace a tire when the remaining depth of tire tread reaches the follow- ing specification. Tire tread depth limit: FRONT & REAR 3.0 mm (0.12 in) TIRE PRESSURE If the tire pressure is too high or too low, steering will be adversely affected and tire wear increased. Therefore, maintain the correct tire pressure for good roadabilit shorter tire life will result. Cold inflation tire pressure is as follows.

MT80, rear ... MT80RS) STEERING Inspect Initially at 1 000 km (600 miles, 2 months) and Every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months) thereafter. Taper roller type bearings are used on the steering system for better handling. Steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of handlebars and safe running. Over- tight steering prevents smooth turning of the handlebars and too loose steering will cause poor stability. Check that there is no play in the front fork assembly by supporting the machine so that the front wheel is off the ground, with the wheel straight ahead, grasp the lower fork tubes near the axle and pull forward. If play is found, perform steering bearing adjustment as described in page 5-23 of this manual.2-15 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE FRONT FORKS Inspect Every 12.000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months). Inspect the front forks for oil leakage, scoring or scratches on the outer surface of the inner tubes. Replace any defec- tive parts, if necessary. (Refer to page 5-11.) REAR SUSPENSION Inspect Every 12 000 km (7 500 miles, 24 months! Inspect the rear shock absorber for oil leakage and check that there is no play in the swingarm assembly.

The decision to overhaul the cylinder is often based on the results of a compression test. Periodic maintenance records kept at your dealership should include compression readings for each mainte- nance service. COMPRESSION PRESSURE SPECIFICATION ‘Standard 850 kPa Approx. /8.5 kg/cm? C0 Psi ) Low compression pressure can indicate any of the following condi * Excessively worn cylinder wall * Worn-down piston or piston rings + Piston rings stuck in grooves + Poor seating of valves * Ruptured or otherwise defective cylinder head gasket COMPRESSION TEST PROCEDURE NOTE: * Before testing the engine for compression pressure, make sure that the cylinder head bolts are tightened to the specified torque values and valves are properly adjusted. * Have the engine warmed up by idling before testing. * Be sure that the battery used is in fully-charged condition. Remove the parts concerned and test the compression pressure in the following manner. ‘© Remove both spark plug caps. © Remove either one of two plugs. Fit the compression gauge in the plug hole, while taking care that the connection tight. © Keep the throttle grip in full-open position. ‘© While cranking the engine a few seconds with the start- er, and record the maximum gauge reading as the com- pression of that cylinder. 19915-63310; Adaptor2-19 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OIL PRESSURE CHECK Check periodically the oil pressure in the engine to judge roughly the condition of the moving parts.
