To release the rear tire on a Suzuki UF50 when the nut won’t turn, follow these steps:
1. Ensure you are using the correct tool, such as a properly sized socket and a torque wrench. 2. Apply final gear oil (10W-40) to the rear axle nut to help loosen it. 3. Use a breaker bar or an impact wrench if the nut is too tight. 4. Check that you are turning the nut counterclockwise to loosen it. 5. If the nut is seized, apply penetrating oil and let it sit for a few minutes before trying again. 6. Use controlled force to avoid damaging the nut or axle.
The rear axle nut should be tightened to 120 N·m (12.0 kgf-m) when reassembling.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The chart below lists the recommended intervals for all the required periodic service work necessary to keep the motorcycle operating at peak performance and economy. Maintenance intervals are expressed in terms of kilometers and months, and are dependent on whichever comes first. NOTE: More frequent servicing may be performed on motorcycles that are used under severe conditions.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURE This section describes the servicing procedures for each item mentioned in the periodic maintenance chart on the previous page. BATTERY Inspect every 3 000 km (6 months). UPPER LEVEL LOWER LEVEL Remove the battery holder cover. ( 6-30) First, disconnect the - battery lead wire, and then discon- nect the + battery lead wire.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AIR CLEANER Clean every 3 000 km (6 months). If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be increased, with a resultant decrease in engine output and an increase in fuel consumption. Check and clean the air cleaner elements in the following manner.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CYLINDER HEAD AND CYLINDER Remove carbon every 3 000 km (6 months). 3-13) SPARK PLUG Clean every 3 000 km (6 months). Replace every 6 000 km (12 months). Remove the left side leg shield. ( 5-3) Disconnect the spark plug cap and remove the spark plug. DENSO Standard BPR7HS...
Page 18
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SPARK PLUG GAP Measure the spark plug gap using a thickness gauge. If the spark plug gap is out of specification, adjust the gap. Spark plug gap Standard: 0.6 – 0.7 mm 09900-20804: Thickness gauge 0.6 – 0.7 mm ELECTRODES Check the condition of the electrodes.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CARBURETOR Inspect Initially at 1 000 km (2 months) and every 3 000 km (6 months) thereafter. ENGINE IDLE SPEED Adjust the throttle cable play. Remove the left side leg shield. ( 5-3) Warm up the engine. NOTE: Make this adjustment when the engine is hot.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE FINAL GEAR OIL Inspect initially at 1 000 km (2 months) and every 6 000 km (12 months) thereafter. Remove the final gear oil level bolt 1 and inspect the oil level. If the oil level is below the brim of the final gear oil level hole, add oil until it runs out from the level hole.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE BRAKE HOSE Inspect every 3 000 km (6 months). Replace every four years. Check the brake hose for leakage, cracks, wear, and damages. If any damages are found, replace the brake hose with a new one. BRAKE FLUID Inspect every 3 000 km (6 months).
Page 22
2-10 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AIR BLEEDING THE BRAKE FLUID CIRCUIT Air trapped in the brake fluid circuit acts like a cushion to absorb a large proportion of the pressure developed by the master cyl- inder, thus interferes with the full braking performance of the brake caliper.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-11 STEERING Inspect Initially at 1 000 km (2 months) and every 3 000 km (6 months) thereafter. The steering should be adjusted properly for smooth turning of the handlebar and safe operation. Overtight steering prevents smooth turning of the handlebar and too loose steering will cause poor stability.
2-12 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE TIRES Inspect initially at 1 000 km (2 months) and every 3 000 km (6 months) thereafter. TIRE TREAD CONDITION Operating the motorcycle with excessively worn tires will de- crease riding stability and consequently invite a dangerous situ- ation.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-13 CYLINDER HEAD NUTS AND EXHAUST PIPE NUT AND BOLT Tighten initially at 1 000 km (2 months) and every 3 000 km (6 months) thereafter. Cylinder head nuts, when they are not tightened to the specified torque, may result in leakage of the compressed mixture and reduce output.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-15 GENERAL LUBRICATION Proper lubrication is important for smooth operation and long life of each working part of the motorcycle. Major lubrication points are indicated below. 1 Rear brake lever holder 3 Front brake lever holder 2 Center stand pivot and spring hook 4 Speedometer cable NOTE: Before lubricating each part, remove any rust and wipe off any grease, oil, dirt, or grime.
2-16 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AUTOMATIC CLUTCH INSPECTION The UF50/UF50Z is equipped with a centrifugal type automatic clutch and a variable ratio belt drive transmission. To insure proper performance and longevity of the clutch as- sembly it is essential that the clutch assembly engages smoothly and gradually.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 2-17 CLUTCH LOCK-UP Perform this inspection to determine if the clutch is engaging fully and not slipping. Remove the trunk. ( 5-4) Connect the multi circuit tester to the high-tension cord. Start the engine. Apply the rear brake as firm as possible. Fully open the throttle for a brief period and note the maxi- mum engine speed sustained during the test cycle.

CHASSIS 5-33 TIRES AND WHEELS TIRE REMOVAL The most critical factor of a tubeless tire is the seal between the wheel rim and the tire bead. Because of this, we recommended using a tire changer that can satisfy this sealing requirement and can make the operation efficient as well as functional.
5-34 CHASSIS VALVE Inspect the valve 1 for damage. If the seal rubber is peeling or damaged, replace the valve with a new one. NOTE: If the external appearance of the valve shows no abnormal con- dition, removing the valve is not necessary. Inspect the valve core seal 2 for deformation or damage.
Page 117
CHASSIS 5-35 TIRE Apply a special tire lubricant to the tire bead. When installing the tire, make sure the arrow 1 faces the direction of wheel rotation and align the balancing. Replace the removed valve with a new one. The tire is designed to have specified rotational direction. Never apply oil, grease, or gasoline to the tire bead.
Page 118
5-36 CHASSIS After the tire is properly seated to the wheel rim, inflate the tire to the recommended pressure. Correct the wheel balance if necessary. Do not inflate the tire to more than 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/ ). The tire could burst with sufficient force to cause severe injury.

Need help?
Do you have a question about the UF50 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
How do I actually release the rear tyre cos I can't get the nut to turn to come off it's frustrating. I removed the exhaust etc and yeah it just wouldn't budge why I not know. Any help is appreciated
To release the rear tire on a Suzuki UF50 when the nut won’t turn, follow these steps:
1. Ensure you are using the correct tool, such as a properly sized socket and a torque wrench.
2. Apply final gear oil (10W-40) to the rear axle nut to help loosen it.
3. Use a breaker bar or an impact wrench if the nut is too tight.
4. Check that you are turning the nut counterclockwise to loosen it.
5. If the nut is seized, apply penetrating oil and let it sit for a few minutes before trying again.
6. Use controlled force to avoid damaging the nut or axle.
The rear axle nut should be tightened to 120 N·m (12.0 kgf-m) when reassembling.
