2008 Suzuki King Quad Voltage Regulator shot?


Randomizer

Recommended Posts

My battery on my Kingquad was low, but not dead, so I hooked it up to my 2A charger. The problem is that I left the key turned on. After a couple of hours, I came back to check on it. I disconnected the charger, and tried to start the quad. Nothing happened. The display did not come on, nor did any indicator lights. After a few seconds, the display came on, but it had a "chec" message displayed near the odometer spot. And something was clicking under the seat. It is what ever the electrical component is right next to the fuse box. When I depressed the brake, to start, the display went black again.

I check all the fuse, and they looked good. Also, the battery is fully charged. I think maybe I burned up the voltage regulator. Is there a way to display a diagnostic code? Any other ideas?

Not familiar with the quad but check to see if you have any fusible links of any kind, dirty grounds etc. start with the easiest. you might also have a burnt up battery. A battery might show 12v but wont have the amperage to start/power up the quad. If you have a known good battery try that or another atv you can check that battery with, that will help eliminate changing parts and wasting $$.

Thanks for the advice. It was a burnt battery. Apparently there was enough of a charge to look like 12 v, but as soon as I depressed the brake to start the quad, the rear light dragged it down to dead. New battery, and everything is good.

Yeah, its a 2008. It was a relay of some sort clicking. What made it weird is that I had accidentally left it on the charger with the ignition on. When I discovered my error a few hours later, it seemed like the battery should be happy, and something else causing the problem. A new battery is easy to replace, so I consider myself lucky.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      The 2024 ATVs are out and I was just looking at the websites for Yamaha and Suzuki. The Grizzly and King Quad have come a long way, probably two of my favorite quads over the years. Both of these come with power steering but I almost like the King Quad styling a little more. The plastics haven't changed much over the years either, mayeb a little more rugged. The King Quad racks are more like the Polaris plastic racks (I think they were the first to introduce these) but on a closer look, I think its just plastic covers over the traditional metal racks. The Grizzly still keeps the old style metal racks. I like the display/instrument panel on the Grizzly more.

      Thoughts on these two? Here's a pretty good comparison of both 2023 models. I didn't know some of these things like no seat latch on the Grizzly and hydraulic rear brake vs cable. Good video to watch if you are consideting these:

      Hey all back again with my 1989 moto 4 250.
      After putting a new carb on it it's really sputtery, it has new gas and I'm wondering what to tune on the carb to make it idle better. I've attached a video to describe the issue more. The bike is still work in progress but I think the video gets the point across. Thanks!
