IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
1. Remove the spark plugs and reat-
tach them to the spark plug caps.
2. While holding the spark plug firmly
against the crank case of the
engine, push the starter switch
with the ignition switch in the "ON"
position, the engine stop switch in
the "" position, the transmission
in neutral, and the clutch disen-
gaged. 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 procedure
with the cleaned spark plug or a
new one.
4. If there is still no spark, consult
your Suzuki dealer for repairs.
 WARNING
Performing the spark test improp-
erly can be hazardous. You could
get a high voltage electrical shock
if you are not familiar with this
procedure.
Do not perform this check if you
are not familiar with the proce-
dure. Do not point the spark plug
near the spark plug hole during
this test. Do not perform this test
if you have a heart condition or
wear a pacemaker.
ENGINE STALLING
1. Make sure there is enough fuel in
the fuel tank.
2. If the odometer displays "FI" and
malfunction indicator light comes
on, trouble in the fuel injection
system, take your machine to an
authorized Suzuki dealer. Refer to
the "INSTRUMENT PANEL" sec-
tion for an explanation of the mal-
function indicator light.
3. Check the ignition system for
intermittent spark.
4. Check the idle speed. If neces-
sary, adjust it using a tachometer.
The correct idle speed is 1050 –
1250 r/min.
