Check your oil
Change your engine oil or gear oil frequently. It lubricates your gears and engine and keeps your engine cool. Not changing the engine oil will cause damage to the engine. Your Suzuki owner’s manual will specify how frequently the oil should be changed and this schedule should be followed to maximise the performance, efficiency and longevity of your engine.

Check your spark plugs
Spark plugs should be changed as specified in the owner’s manual (or if a problem is suspected). It is critically important to use the correct spark plug grade and type.

Check your tyres
Tyre pressure should be checked once a week or every time you go out. Underinflated tyres tend to affect handling and braking as the lack of pressure means the tyre wall isn’t firm enough to properly cope with the forces exerted on it. Over-inflation can also result in a deterioration in handling, as well as a reduced contact patch with the road. This can result in a lack of grip under braking.

Tyre condition is as important as tyre pressure for safe, reliable riding. Worn tyres are more susceptible to punctures and adversely affect the motorcycle handling. Cuts and cracks can cause a tyre to fail completely.
Always make sure you replace a tyre with one of the same type and size. You should also have the wheels balanced after a tyre replacement to ensure even road contact and tyre wear.

Keep it clean
Cleaning your motorcycle is part of maintenance. Keeping it clean of dirt (and salt in winter) will not only keep it looking good, it also will avoid potential corrosion issues. It’s also a good way to inspect nuts and bolts to ensure they are tightened correctly.
