From the Australian official Suzuki LS650 manual.

Fuel Octane Rating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher (Research method RON) [this is the method used in Australia]

If pinking or knocking occurs try higher octane or different brand.

Canada The US also uses this method known as MON
You m/c requires regular unleaded with a minimum pump octane rating of 87 [(R+M)/2 method MON] In some areas only oxygenated fuels are available.

Oxygenated fuel recommendations
Oxygenated fuels which meet the minimum octane requirement and the requirements described below may be used in your m/c without jeopardising the New Vehicle Limited Warranty

NOTE: Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain oxygen carrying additives such as MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) or alcohol.

Gas containing MTBE
Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE may be used in your m/c if the MTBE content is not greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel does not contain alcohol.

Gasoline/Ethanol Blends
Blends of unleaded gas and ethanol (grain alcohol) also known as GASOHOL may be used in your m/sickle if the ethanol content is not greater than 10%

Gasoline/Methanol Blends
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol (wood alcohol) may be suitable for use if they contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors.

DO NOT USE fuels containing more than 5% methanol under any circumstances, fuel system damage and/or performance problems are likely and will not be covered under their limited warranty.


To minimise pollution Suzuki recommend you use oxygenated fuels (ed: yeah right)

Be sure any oxygenated fuel has the recommended octane rating

If you are not satisfied with the drivability of you m/c when you are using an oxygenated fuel or if engine pinging occurs try another brand as there are differences between brands.

If all you want is the user manual IT IS FREE if you right-click on Owners Manual in the first post by Kropatchek and then "Save Link As".  That will download the .pdf to your computer.

Now if you are looking for a Clymer's detailed repair manual, that's not what this is. You'll have to buy that separately somewhere outside of this thread.

So I bit the bullet and tried the "http://manualmadness.com/suzuki-ls-650-savage/"

It's a scam.

It's not the SSM... it leads you to a shady site where you can download the Clymer's Manual pdf.

I lost $2.99... hopefully they won't take anymore - fingers crossed they aren't a more sophisticated scam.

Oh, and thanks for your help, Tocsik, Stew. However, I'm looking for the Suzuki Service Manual (as opposed to Clymer's or the Owner's Manual):

I bought a hard copy a few years back and paid about $18 for it ... it was used but everything was there.

Here's a 368 page pdf of the Clymer Service Manual

Why wouldn't the mods remove this link if it does not take you to a legit seller?  If a scam link is posted, and verified someone was ripped off using it, take it off the forum....
