what year and cc motor is this bike?

some need a battery and some don't. i would start looking at your wiring and see if there is any broken wires and the connections are good. check and make sure the kill switch is in the run position too. i might have a manual for you if you tell us the year and size ...

Its a lt4wd 250cc not sure of the year what am I looking for in the vin

to figure year out

Suzuki VIN Decoder @ Motoverse.com

just enter your vin in there and it will tell you everything

The one im workin on is a 1989 I also have a 98 javent started lookin at it yet I have limited @orkspace due to my bayou im rebuilding and my hnda xl185s im restoring

figured it out cdi is bad thats why it worth it to get a manual they tell you what to check and if it dont read right there you go now im in need of part number 32900-19b00 please let me know good places to check of course ive checked ebay but the cheapest one is 75 bucks and they dont know if it works and no returns

ok so ive decided at giving building a new cdi from scratch sence a new cost over 300 and you never know what your getting used so any tips would be very helpful ive got circuit testing software and looks like i have it working i just need to know the volts and hertz coming out of the w/l white and blue wire on the cdi thats going to the coil mine is dead so i cannot test it

most of these do not have to have a battery to have spark. the key things to look at are, the ignition switch and wiring, the kill switch and wiring, and of course the ignition components and wiring. it is a very simple system. there is a signal generator (which takes the place of points), a charge coil (to build electricity to make the spark), and the cdi box (which stores the energy and controls the spark timing), and an ignition coil. the source coil will generate around 60-110 volts, the pulse generating coil will generate about 1-1.7 volts, the rest is up to the box and ignition coil. the quick way is to check the ignition coil wires and see if you are getting voltage there when the engine is cranked. if you get upwards of 80 volts (ac), the rest of the system is working. the kill switches USUALLY ground out the current, but once in a while, you will find one that needs to be closed to complete the circuit. i can not remember any of the older Suzuki's using this style.

I have the same problem with mine only I don't even have the CDI module to start with I wanted to try and wire in one of the Chinese CDI boxes but my signal coil and my charge coil both have two wires coming out of them the Chinese CDI boxes I have I believe are designed to ground one end of each coil thereby leaving only a total of two wires coming out the charge and the pulse

i have never seen one of those. what i do know, is that it may get your quad to run, but it will NEVER run like it should, because every engine has its own ignition advance curve. and a generic CDI will have a generic curve, IF ANY. i KNOW CDI boxes are expensive, but it actually controls the way that the engine makes power. accurate timing is a must have just like accurate fuel mixture.

      My Yamaha Big Bear shifts through all the gears good, goes into reverse smoothly, but when i go to get out of reverse it takes a lot of effort to get it back to first gear, and even then it does not go very smoothly, have to pull up on the pedal really hard, anyone else ever had this problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

      I have a 1988 Quadrunner 250 2wd. My brother in law sold it to my son for $20...had been sitting outside for several years. Got it home and had it running in about 30 mins. Ran it a bit and then went to looking at the carb as it was having trouble idling. Was getting it pretty close, then started losing spark...Also, it wouldn't start up every time...only about 1 in 5 tries. Anyway...now, it has what I can only describe as "intermittent" spark. I can get 1 light spark right when the start button is pressed and sometimes one when it's released...but none while cranking. 🤷‍♂️

      I have replaced the spark plug, ignition coil/wire, and traced wires best I can. I noticed a couple frayed wires at the pickup coil where it enters the case. So, now I have the cover off, stator and pickup coil out and trying to test the coil. I do have about 114 ohms resistance for pickup best I can tell. And I can read minute voltage when I drag a magnet across it. Could it still be bad? Can a bad ignition switch/button cause this? (I did have the switch off to oil the choke cable)...pulling rope makes no difference though...any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! It's the intermittent part that's throwing me off!

      Hello folks, I have a Polaris 500 Scrambler. Not positive I need a new battery.  The folks I got the ride from said they put a new battery on it right before selling it to me. It's been a couple cold months before I tried starting it. After jumping it now, I let it idle plus revved it quite a bit for about 20 minutes. Then I shut it off and tried to restart barely turns over and that's it? Am I not giving it enough charge time maybe need to actually ride it? The battery on it is a Continental CTX9-BX. I lf a new battery is needed would maybe Amazon have a decent one? Thanks!

      I am in the process of puting it back together after replacing the DPS gearbox.
      The manual I have states that it will need to be flashed by a dealer. Is this still true?
      Also , I have a mystery bolt That I cannot remember where it goes. M6x 70 or so.  Hex head with a flat washer.I will try to attach a pic.
      Pic is no go for now....Cox issue I will try again later
      TIA
