Title: C42 code help
Post by: SBeachill on Sunday, 23 May 2021, 05:52 AM
Got a C42 code up on my project bike,  K5 model,  have cleaned all connections,  checked electrical plugs and relay etc,  pump only primes for a second,  can get it to prime by messing switching the kill switch on and off,  have read this could be ab antenna problem is there anyway of eliminating this before purchasing a new or replacement one?

Cheers Steve

If it is an antenna problem Steve, that was the subject of a recall by Suzuki for the K5's, so you can check with Suzuki GB if it has been done or not. If not, then they should replace for free

Did a full check on kill switch continuity etc and all good 😊👍 so can only assume antenna or something else within the C42 circuit?
