ON-BOARD MOTORCYCLE
COMPUTER DATA INFORMATION
Your motorcycle is equipped with on-
board computer systems which monitor
and control several aspects of motorcy-
cle performance, including the follow-
ing:
•
Emission-related components and
engine parameters such as engine
speed and throttle position are moni-
tored to provide 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 malfunc-
tions.
Some information may be stored by the
on-board computer when malfunctions
occur. This stored information can
assist technicians in repairing the
motorcycle. To read the stored informa-
tion, special equipment is needed and
access to the motorcycle or storage
device is required. In addition, once
SUZUKI collects or receives data,
SUZUKI may use the data for research
conducted by SUZUKI, make the data
available 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 per-
sonnel, may have access to the special
equipment that can read the information
if they have access to the motorcycle or
storage device.
