If the measured thickness or inner diame-
ter of the most worn part falls below or
exceeds the value indicated above, the
parts should be replaced with a new one.
The measurement involves disassembling
each brake and requires the use of a
micrometer or caliper, which must be done
according to the instructions described in
the relevant service manual or available
from the relevant repair information site.

Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the free play of the steering wheel
by gently turning it from left to right and
measuring the distance that it moves
before you feel slight resistance. The play
should be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily
and smoothly without rattling by turning it
all the way to the right and to the left while
driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is not as specified or
you find anything else to be wrong, an
inspection must be performed by a
SUZUKI dealer.
Tyres
78RB07013
The front and rear tyre pressure specifica-
tions are listed in the tyre information label.
Both front and rear tyres should have the
specified tyre pressure.
NOTE:
The tyre pressure will change due to
changes in atmospheric pressure, tem-
perature or tyre temperature when driving.
To reduce the chance that the low tyre
pressure warning light (if equipped) will
come on due to normal changes in tem-
perature and atmospheric pressure, it is
important to check and adjust the tyre
pressures when the tyres are cold. If you
check tyres after driving, they are warm.
Even if the tyre pressure seems to be good
in this condition, it could fall below the
