DO NOT USE fuels containing more
than 5% methanol under any circum-
stances. Fuel system damage or
motorcycle performance problems
resulting from the use of such fuels
are not the responsibility of Suzuki
and may not be covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty or the
Emission Control System Warranty.
NOTE:
•
To help minimize air pollution,
Suzuki recommends that you use
oxygenated fuels.
• Be sure that any oxygenated fuel
you use has recommended
octane ratings.
• If you are not satisfied with the
drivability of your motorcycle
when you are using an oxygen-
ated fuel, or if engine pinging is
experienced, substitute another
brand as there are differences
between brands.
NOTICE
Spilled gasoline containing alco-
hol can damage the painted sur-
faces of your motorcycle.
Be careful not to spill any fuel
when filling the fuel tank. Wipe
spilled gasoline up immediately.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Use of leaded gasoline causes the
catalytic converter to malfunction.
