Disadvantages of the Suzuki K14B engine
- This motor turned out to be very reliable, but it rarely worries and only in small things;
- The main cause of unstable operation is the contamination of nozzles and throttle;
- Failures in the operation of one of the cylinders are usually due to the formation of a crack in one of the ignition coils;
- There are complaints about the very long warm-up of this motor in the winter;
- There are no hydraulic lifters and every 100,000 km valve clearance adjustment is required.
