IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
1. Remove the spark plug and
reattach it to the ignition coil.
2. Put the engine stop switch in
the “” position and the igni-
tion switch in the “ON” posi-
tion. While holding a spark
plug with its base firmly
against the engine, push the
electric starter button. If the
ignition system is operating
properly, a blue spark should
jump across the spark plug
gap.
3. If there is no spark, clean the
spark plug. Replace it if neces-
sary. Retry the above proce-
dure with the cleaned spark
plug or new one.
4. If there is still no spark, take
your motorcycle to an autho-
rized Suzuki dealer.
COMPLAINT: Engine stalls.
1. Make sure there is enough fuel
in the fuel tank.
2. If the fuel injection indicator
displays “FI”, showing signs of
trouble in the fuel injection sys-
tem, take your machine to an
authorized Suzuki dealer.
Refer to the “INSTRUMENT
PANEL” section for an explana-
tion of the fuel injection system
indicator.
3. Check the ignition system for
intermittent spark.
4. Check the idle speed. The cor-
rect idle speed is 1050 – 1250
r/min.

Performing the spark test
improperly can cause a high
voltage electrical shock or an
explosion.
Avoid performing this check if
you are not familiar with this
procedure, or if you have a

maker. Keep the spark plug
