WARNING
Failure to extend brake pads
after installing the wheel can
cause poor braking perfor-
mance and may result in an
accident.
Before riding, “pump” the
brake repeatedly until the
brake pads are pressed against
the brake disks and proper
lever stroke and firm feel are
restored. Also check that the
wheel rotates freely.

WARNING
Installing the front wheel in the
reverse direction can be haz-
ardous. The tire for this motor-
cycle is directional. Therefore,
the motorcycle may have
unusual handling if the wheel
is installed incorrectly.
Install the front wheel in the
specified direction, as indi-
cated by the arrow on the side-
wall of the tire.

WARNING
Failure to torque bolts and nuts
properly could lead to an acci-
dent.
Torque bolts and nuts to the
proper specifications. If you
are not sure of the proper pro-
cedure, have your authorized
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
mechanic do this.
