IM curious as to where to find an online manual for this thing. I picked it up as a trade and trying to figure out all its intricacies.. to many bells and whistles for me atm. Im not even sure of the model number....

 

Not sure about on-line manuals but there are many sources of hard copy manuals available to purchase - one site here:

Suzuki ATV Repair Manuals: ALT125, LT125, LT230, LT250, LT-4WD, Quadrunner, LT-F250, LT-F500

On another topic - Are you sure that this is a 1997 Suzuki 400? I just don't recall a 400 utility from that year - the nearest thing would be the King Quad 300. And at that, it doesn't look like a KQ or any other Suzuki. The back rack looks like a Suzuki, as do the handlebars. the wheels sorta look like Suzuki. But the seat and bodywork just don't look familiar. I've owned lots of Suzuki's and kept up with them from that time period and just don't recall this model. It almost looks sorta Hondaish.
