Safety Features:
Standard motorcycle safety features: reliable braking system, stable chassis, effective lighting. No specific crash ratings are typically applied to motorcycles in the same way as cars.
Braking System:
Hydraulic dual-disc front brakes, Hydraulic disc rear brake.
Lighting:
Halogen headlight, LED taillight, standard turn signals.
Features:
Basic instrumentation: speedometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel gauge (on some models), indicator lights. No advanced infotainment systems typical of modern cars.
Features:
N/A (motorcycle specific features).
Features:
N/A (motorcycle specific features).
Engine Oil Change:
Every 3,000 miles or 6 months (typical)
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 7,500 - 10,000 miles (typical, depending on plug type)
Coolant Flush:
Every 2 years or 24,000 miles (typical)
Engine Oil:
SAE 10W-40 API SE, SF, or SG recommended. Suzuki recommends their own brand or equivalent. Capacity approx. 2.7 US qt (2.5 L) with filter change.
Coolant:
Suzuki Super Coolant or equivalent ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and distilled water (50/50 mix). Capacity approx. 1.6 US qt (1.5 L).
Final Drive Oil:
