Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Service Manual: Engine coolant recommendation
Engine coolant
Use an anti-freeze/engine coolant compatible with an aluminum radiator, mixed with distilled water only.
Water for mixing
Use distilled water only. Water other than distilled water can corrode and clog the aluminum radiator.
Anti-freeze / engine coolant
The engine coolant perform as a corrosion and rust inhibitor as well as anti-freeze. Therefore, the engine coolant should be used at all times even though the atmospheric temperature in your area does not go down to freezing point.
Suzuki recommends the use of suzuki coolant antifreeze/ engine coolant. If this is not available, use an equivalent which is compatible with an aluminum radiator.
Liquid amount of water / engine coolant
Solution capacity (total) 2 750 ml (2.9/2.4 Us/imp qt)
For engine coolant mixture information, refer to “engine coolant description” in section 1f .
 Caution
Be sure to mix it above 50% even though the atmospheric temperature does not go down to the freezing point. |
Fuel and oil recommendation
Fuel (for USA and Canada)
Use only unleaded gasoline of at least 90 pump octane
(r/2 + m/2).
Gasoline containing mtbe (meltyl tertiary butyl ether),
less than 10% ethanol, or less than 5% methan ...
Break-in procedures
During manufacture only the best possible materials are
used and all machined parts are finished to a very high
standard but it is still necessary to allow the moving parts
to “break-in” before sub ...
Other materials:
Precautions
Keep away from fire or spark.
During disassembling, use care to minimize spillage of
gasoline.
