Gasoline/Methanol Blends
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol
(wood alcohol) may be suitable for use
in your motorcycle if they contain co-
solvents and corrosion inhibitors.
DO NOT USE fuels containing more
than 5% methanol under any circum-
stances. Fuel system damage or motor-
cycle 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 Sys-
tem Warranty.
Fuel Pump Labeling
In some states, pumps that dispense
oxygenated fuels are required to be
labeled for the type and percentage of
oxygenate, and whether important addi-
tives are present. Such labels may pro-
vide enough information for you to
determine if a particular blend of fuel
meets the requirements listed above. In
other states, pumps may not be clearly
labeled as to the content or type of oxy-
genate and additives. If you are not
sure that the fuel you intend to use
meets these requirements, check with
the service station operator or the fuel
supplier.
