Although the Suzuki SP600 is a model of its own, it's only slightly different from the DR600S, aimed for different markets. Comparing the Suzuki SP600 and DR600S workshop manuals page for page reveals that the models are identical except for the SP has a vacuum type caburettor and the DR a slide type. The SP manual has also has a four page emissions section, other than that they are identical. Except for the colors, of course. 1985 was the only year for the big SP.
