Additional Notes

  • The Suzuki GV 1400 Cavalcade cooling system holds 3.6 liters in the main circuit, with an additional 0.6 liter reserve tank capacity, bringing the total system volume to 4.2 liters.
  • The GV 700 GL Madura carries a slightly smaller main cooling circuit at 3.5 liters, paired with a 0.45 liter reservoir, for a combined system volume of 3.95 liters.
  • Both configurations specify a 24-month coolant change interval under normal use conditions, meaning standard riding environments without the added thermal or mechanical stress associated with severe use classifications.
  • The reserve tank on the GV 1400 Cavalcade holds 0.6 liters, while the GV 700 GL Madura reservoir holds 0.45 liters, a difference of 0.15 liters between the two models despite their similar main circuit volumes.
  • The 24-month service interval applies identically across both the GV 1400 Cavalcade (1985-1989) and the GV 700 GL Madura (1985-1986), regardless of the difference in engine displacement between the two models.
