cycle is outside on level ground)
and allow it to idle for three min-
utes.

approximately three minutes.
Recheck the oil level on the
engine oil inspection window while
holding the motorcycle vertically. If
it is lower than the “L” mark, add
oil until it reaches the “F” mark.
Inspect the area around the drain
plug and oil filter for leaks.
NOTE: If you do not have a proper oil
filter wrench, have your Suzuki dealer
perform this service.
NOTICE
Engine damage may occur if you
use oil that does not meet
Suzuki’s specifications.
