NOTE:
•
To help minimize air pollution,
SUZUKI recommends that you
use oxygenated fuels.
• Be sure that any oxygenated fuel
you use has octane ratings of at
least 87 pump octane ((R+M)/2
method).
• If you are not satisfied with the
drivability or fuel economy of your
ATV when you are using an oxy-
genated fuel, you should switch
back to unleaded regular gaso-
line.
• If engine pinging is experienced,
substitute another brand as there
are differences between brands.
