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,
