TROUBLESHOOTING
This troubleshooting guide is provided
to help you find the cause of some
common complaints.
CAUTION
Failure to troubleshoot a problem
correctly can damage your motor-
cycle. Improper repairs or adjust-
ments may damage the
motorcycle 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 or a qualified mechanic
about the problem.
If the engine refuses to start, perform
the following inspections to determine
the cause.
FUEL SUPPLY CHECK
If the fuel injection indicator displays
"Fl", 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 "Fl", make
sure there is enough fuel in the fuel
tank. If the indicator does not display
"Fl" and there is enough fuel, the igni-
tion system should be checked.
