Coolant Replacement
Since special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your
SUZUKI dealer for coolant replacement.
Air Cleaner
80J2056
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
Unclamp the side clamps, and remove the
element from the air cleaner case. If it
appears to be dirty, replace it with a new
one.
Spark Plugs
You should inspect spark plugs periodically
for carbon deposits. When carbon accu-
mulates on a spark plug, a strong spark
may not be produced. Remove carbon
deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the
spark plug gap.
To access the spark plugs,

coolant;
• The mixture you use should con-
tain 50% concentration of anti-
freeze.
• If the lowest ambient temperature
in your area is expected to be
–35°C (–31°F) or below, use higher
concentrations up to 60% following
the instructions on the antifreeze
container.
CAUTION
When putting the cap on the reser-
voir tank, line up the mark on the cap
and the mark on the tank. Failure to
follow this can result in coolant leak-
age.

replaced every 50000 km (30000
miles). More frequent replacement is
necessary when you drive under
dusty conditions.

EXAMPLE
CAUTION
• When servicing the iridium/plati-
num spark plugs (slender center
electrode type plugs), do not touch
the center electrode, as it is easy to
damage.
• When installing the spark plugs,
screw them in with your fingers to
avoid stripping the threads. Tighten
with a torque wrench to 25 Nm (2.5
kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft). Do not allow con-
taminants to enter the engine
through the spark plug holes when
the plugs are removed.
• Never use spark plugs with the
wrong thread size.
CAUTION
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type speci-
fied for your vehicle. For the speci-
fied plugs, refer to the
“SPECIFICATIONS” section at the
end of this book. If you wish to use a
brand of spark plug other than the
specified plugs, consult your SUZUKI
dealer.
