Engage first gear by pressing the lever down from the neutral position. You can shift into higher gears by lifting on the shift lever once for each gear. When neutral is desired, press or lift the lever to a position halfway between low and 2nd gear. Page 15 — MEMO — Follow the guideline in the chart. The life of parts varies depending on the riding conditions. Perform more often than shown in the chart if you use the motorcycle under severe conditions.
NOTE: Remove the dirt around the spark plug before removing the spark plug to prevent dirt from entering the combustion cham- ber. NOTE: Running the engine without the air cleaner box lid can vary the carburetion.
Do not run the engine without the air cleaner box lid. Cap to the front. Air cleaner box front wall NOTE Chil- dren and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or used oil or solvent. Repeated, prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Brief contact with used oil or solvent may irritate skin. Do not open the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Wait until engine cools. NOTE: The radiator, cylinder and cylinder head are made of aluminum alloy. If any defects are found, the fuel hose must be replaced. NOTE: The drive chain can touch the swingarm directly if the chain guide buffer is worn out. This will cause drive chain and swing- arm damage. If the brake pads are worn, replace them with new ones. If the steering has play or binds, inspect steering stem head nut tightness and steering bearings. Lightweight oil such as WD or penetrating oil.
Aerosol type Chain Lube. Follow the schedule closely. The disassembly necessary to lubricate many components is in itself valuable preventative maintenance. It allows you to inspect for wear, fatigue, adjustment and fastener tightness and it Page 39 — MEMO — Page 45 — MEMO — Page Carburetor Tuning Riders who are not familiar with the operation and ing of them for proper carburetor tuning. Mechanically experienced riders can alter the carburetor settings based on the fol- lowing information and specifications.
Its lower part is tapered and it has five grooves cut in the upper part where the needle clip fits. Described in this section are the bases for carburetor tuning required when coping with variations in air oxygen concentration.

Spring Part No. Transmission-wise, the RM originally had a reverse -free 5-speed gearbox that upgraded to a 6-speed constant mesh for later-year versions. With the short-lived S model, the CDI unit was made bigger and mounted at the front of the frame headtube with a bracket. Because of the change in CDI placement, it was then possible for the air cleaner case to accommodate a larger rubber connector boot.
As for the battery, the manufacturer did not specify the format recommended for the Suzuki RM in the manual. It is the same battery format used on all other Suzuki cc motorcycles. Either that or ask your local dealer what battery fits.
Similarly, stock rubber that came with the two-wheeler changed four times throughout its production run. Front 3. These knobby, MX-style tires mounted on aluminum rims reduced slippage on slick surfaces and provided riders the needed grip on dirt tracks. From the get-go, the Suzuki RM provided generous front and rear wheel travel, falling within the 7-toinch range during its first decade. This suspension system utilized the same rising-rate linkage that most manufacturers already embedded into their motorbike designs at the time.
Thanks to this innovation, later-year versions of the RM and other motocross wheelers can tackle more technical trails and aggressive jumps. There is little difference in overall dimensions and weight across all RM models. Suzuki particularly gave the RMG a new and sturdier frame, with some of its parts reduced by almost half.
Interestingly, dry mass is almost virtually unaffected by these changes — not to mention the increase in carb size and other improvements to the chassis and electrical components. And while the double-cradle chassis was sturdy enough, further improvements were implemented beginning — alongside enhancements to the RM seat height, brake shave, and suspension system. On the outside, the bike came standard with handgrips, handlebars, fork guards, and exterior covers but with no lighting whatsoever.
You will need to equip it with a headlight, horn, and turn signals among other things if you want to convert your motorbike into a road- legal ride.
While you are at it, you can add an Enduro computer kit view on Amazon to keep your speed and mileage in check. Unlike some of its same-class counterparts, the Suzuki RM received a handful of significant mechanical, design, and cosmetic improvements throughout its lifetime — with engine and suspension enhancements being the most popular.
Here are noteworthy changes Suzuki did on the motocrosser Source: U. Suzuki Motor Corp. Service Bulletin RM-1, May 1, :.

Proper cleaning will prevent dirt from falling into critical areas undetected. Failing to clean the bike, or cleaning it incorrectly will add to your maintenance costs and shop time because dirty parts wear prematurely.
It's unthinkable that your bike could break because of improper cleaning, but it can happen. When cleaning your Suzuki, you need a few tools, shop rags, scrub brush, bucket, liquid cleaner and access to water. Many riders use a coin-operated car wash.
Coin-operated car washes are convenient and quick, but with improper use the high pressures can do more damage than good to your bike. NOTE: A safe biodegradable, nontoxic and nonflammable liquid cleaner that works well for washing your bike is Simple Green.
Simple Green can be bought through some supermarkets, hardware, garden and discount supply houses. Follow the directions on the container for recommended dilution ratios.
When cleaning your bike, especially when using a spray type degreaser, remember that what goes on your bike will rinse off and drip onto your driveway or into your yard. If you can use a degreaser at a coin-operated car wash. If you are cleaning your bike at home, place thick cardboard or newspapers underneath your bike to catch the oil and grease deposits as they are rinsed off.
