Abstract The accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 recently exhibited another outburst in September and October 2008 (ATel #1728). During this outburst, on 2008 Oct 2, we obtained a ~40 ks observation with Suzaku. The XIS detectors were operated in 1/4 window mode, with 1 sec burst, leading to a good time exposure of 21 ks for the XIS 0, 1 and 3 detectors. No type-I X-ray bursts were detected in the lightcurves.
