1998 Suzuki 160...ran great about a month ago, went to start it recently, no go.

Battery is fine, neutral indicator light will not come on despite the fact that is in in neutral (reverse will engage)...

anyone got a clue to help me? The green Suzuki "service" manual is of no use.

Thanks!

 

will it turn over? did you try the hand pulling it. check to see if you blew a fuse.

 

Hello Mathey,

I have now owned the LT 160 now for 3 good years and it is still running like a dream, recently I had made a jump for it, after thrashing over it again again and again I encountered the same problem as you. Luckily I have now managed to fix the problem. What had happened is, because I had been pulling back on the handle bars one of the wires coming from the ignition module had snapped. What i did was to remove the surrounding plastic from the ignition module by unscrewing the circular piece that you put your key into. Then I had access to the broken wire. I soldered this back together and it worked fine. I would maby add another piece of wire to join together in the middle to prevent future straining.

I hope this helps.

P.S I am very tired so sorry about the grammar !!
