COMPUTER DATA
INFORMATION
Your motorcycle is equipped with
on-board computer systems
which monitor and control several
aspects of motorcycle perfor-
mance, including the following:
•
Emission-related components
and engine parameters such
as engine speed and throttle
position are monitored to pro-
vide emission control and to
provide optimum fuel econ-
omy. Your motorcycle also has
an on-board diagnostic system
which monitors and records
information about emission-
related malfunctions.
Some information may be stored
by the on-board computer when
malfunctions occur. This stored
information can assist techni-
cians in repairing the motorcycle.
To read the stored information,
special equipment is needed and
access to the motorcycle or stor-
age device is required. In addi-
tion, once Suzuki collects or
receives data, Suzuki may use
the data for research conducted
by Suzuki, make the data avail-
able for outside research if need
is shown and confidentiality is
assured, or make summary data
which does not identify specific
motorcycles available for outside
research.
Others, such as law enforcement
personnel, may have access to
the special equipment that can
read the information if they have
access to the motorcycle or stor-
age device.
