Drive beltCheck that the drive belt tension is correct.
If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery
charging, engine overheating, poor power
steering, poor air conditioning, or exces-
sive belt wear can result. When you press
the belt with your thumb midway between
the pulleys, there should be a deflection
according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to
ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt
have it done by your SUZUKI dealer.K12C engine models
The drive belts tension is adjusted auto-
matically.

Parking brake
54G109
Ratchet tooth specification “b”:
4th – 9th
Lever pull force (1):
200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper adjust-
ment by counting the number of clicks
made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly
pull up on the parking brake lever to the
point of full engagement. The parking
brake lever should stop between the speci-
fied ratchet teeth and the rear wheels
should be securely locked. If the parking
brake is not properly adjusted or the
brakes drag after the lever has been fully
released, have the park ing brake inspected
and/or adjusted by your SUZUKI dealer.
Brake discs and brake drumsBrake disc

If the measured thickness or inner diame-
ter of the most worn part exceeds the
value indicated above, the parts should be
replaced with a new one. The measure-
ment involves disassembling each brake
and requires the use of a micrometer or
caliper, which must be done according to
the instructions described in the relevant
service manual or available from the rele-
vant repair information site.
Steering
75RM035
Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and mea-
suring the distance that it moves before
you feel slight resistance. The play should
be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily
and smoothly without r attling by turning it
all the way to the right and to the left while
driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is not as specified or
you find anything else to be wrong, an
inspection must be performed by your
SUZUKI dealer.
