TROUBLESHOOTING
This troubleshooting guide is provided
to help you find the cause of some
common complaints.
COMPLAINT: Engine is hard to start
or does not start at all.
Something is probably wrong with the
fuel system or ignition system.
FUEL SUPPLY CHECK
If the fuel injection indicator displays
“FI”, showing signs of trouble in the
fuel injection system, take your
machine to an authorized Suzuki
dealer. Refer to the “INSTRUMENT
PANEL” section for an explanation of
fuel injection system indicator. If the
indicator does not display “FI”, make
sure there is enough fuel in the fuel
tank. If the indicator does not display
“FI” and there is enough fuel, the igni-
tion system should be checked.
IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
1. Remove the spark plug and reat-
tach it to the spark plug lead.
2. Put the engine stop switch in the
“RUN” position and ignition switch
in the “ON” position. While holding
the spark plug base firmly against
the engine, pull the recoil starter
rope or push the electric starter
button. If the ignition system is
operating properly, a blue spark
should jump across the spark plug
gap. If there is no spark, take your
machine to your authorized
Suzuki dealer.
CAUTION
Failure to troubleshoot a problem
correctly can damage your ATV.
Improper repairs or adjustments
may damage the vehicle instead of
fixing it. Such damage may not be
covered under warranty.
If you are not sure about the
proper action, consult your Suzuki
dealer about the problem.
