I have a 2005 Suzuki King quad that I bought new in Florida.  I've got it snorkeled with oversize mud light tires for our all the water and mud we had in Florida.  I've never had any trouble with it until now, there's no spark to the plug.  I had it to a local dealer for a diagnosis and have replaced the stater myself but still no luck with the spark..  I have a factory manual that I got a long time ago and have been doing the diagnostics but still not sure what is wrong..  Is there a certain section of the forum that I should go to for some help?

Hello Sir twistytom  If by NO spark you mean lights work but when you pull the spark plug and insert it into the resister cap holding it to the head and turning over the motor NO spark from the plug? Then I would first check with new plug then if still NO spark use a cheap test light Harbor freight sells cheap smart test lights that have a green light to show ground and red for hot for about $15 . Look on your crank case there will be 2 wires coming out of it at some place in the covers seem this is your pick up coil stab the probe into one of those 2 wires with the key on and you should get a ground or a hot the spin the motor over if the light does not flash from green to red or red to green as the motor is spinning the pick up coil is bad and that = no spark. I hope this helps you Sir

      1989 Moto 4 YFM350ERW intermittent spark.
      By RGS
      1989 Moto 4 YFM350ERW intermittent spark.
      Quad has set for about 7 years and was running when parked.  When I replaced the battery and attempted to start it had no spark. 
       
      What I have done.  Followed troubleshooting in the manual. 
      1.       Coil failed the resistance check so I replaced it.  Still no spark.
      2.       I performed resistance checks on the stator and they all pass.
      3.       Found a bad rear brake stop switch and unplugged it and connected the wires in order to disable.  Now I have intermittent spark.  I believe that the issue is with either the stator or CDI and not sure which.
      1989 seems to be a transition year for electrical.  I can get new aftermarket CDI units for 87-88 and 90-94.  I cannot get ones for a 89.  I can get new stators for 87-89 and 90-95.  Looking at the schematics the wiring on my moto is closer to the 90 ones on the ATV side of the CDI and closer to the 87-88 on the stator side of the CDI.  Looking at part supply sources the stator housing is the same part # for all the years and looking at some of the stators on Amazon that have the dimensions on them both of the stators are the same size.
      What I am thinking of doing is to replace the stator and CDI with a 90-95 one as these parts are all readily available.   Does anyone know if this has been tried before and if there are any issues with doing this.  
       As a side note I also have a 1993 Moto 4 YFM350ER that has been sitting longer but it is located about 400 miles from me at this time.  By doing this change in addition to being able to get parts I will also have 2 ATV’s that are the same electrically.

      Second one is Normal Speed, and what happens after the Accident.
      Third one Follows more of what happens after .

      I Was Riding By Myself. I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.

      I just bought a rare beast!
      By kawasig
      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!
