Type:
Suzuki recommends API SG, SH, SJ, SL or SAE 10W-40 semi-synthetic or fully synthetic motorcycle oil. Consult manual for exact specifications and viscosity charts based on temperature.
Engine Oil And Filter:
Typically every 6,000 km (3,700 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first. Refer to manual for exact interval.
Spark Plugs:
Check at 12,000 km (7,500 miles), replace as needed. Refer to manual for exact interval.
Air Filter:
Inspect every 6,000 km (3,700 miles), clean or replace as needed. Refer to manual for exact interval.
Brake Fluid:
Replace every 2 years or as per manual recommendation for optimal performance.
Coolant:
Replace every 2 years or as per manual recommendation.
Engine Oil Viscosity:
SAE 10W-40 recommended for general use. Consult manual for temperature-specific recommendations.
