Suzuki LT-A500XP KingQuad 2009–2014 Service & Owner’s Manual Set (P/N 99500-44080-03E)

The owner’s manual covers ATV operation, pre-ride checks, and scheduled upkeep. The service manual covers workshop diagnosis, internal inspection, and overhaul.

Both publications cover the 2009 K9 model year. For both workshop variants, Suzuki lists an effective starting frame number of 5SAAM45P97100001 and identifies the applicable market configurations.

Search, Bookmarks, and Wiring Detail

Finding information in the PDFs: Both files support text search. Embedded chapter and procedure bookmarks are available in the service manual only. Small pin numbers and wire-color codes in the service diagrams are legible when zoomed in.

The ZIP contains two printable PDFs totaling 772 pages. That count includes the service manual’s two blank pages, six pages with section headers only, and publisher imprint page. It also includes the owner’s manual’s four cover pages, one blank page, seven pictogram pages, and warning legend page.

Engine, Drivetrain, and Rider Checks

This selection of topics shows the range of workshop and owner coverage. The publications also cover headlight beam adjustment and returning the ATV to service after storage.

• Engine overhaul: Step-by-step engine removal and installation, top- and bottom-end disassembly, and inspection of the camshaft, cam chain, piston, cylinder, and crankshaft.
• EFI and electrical tests: ECM terminal checks, fuel-pressure testing, starter relay inspection, and charging-system tests for generator output and regulated voltage.
• CVT and shaft drive: Clutch engagement and lock-up checks, V-belt and movable drive and driven face service, and front differential and final-drive overhaul.
• Brakes, suspension, and steering: Double-wishbone suspension service, front hydraulic brake bleeding, rear wet multi-disc brake disassembly, and electric power steering (EPS) self-diagnosis.
• Riding and upkeep: Instrument-panel operation, L-H-N-R range selection, 2WD/4WD and differential lock, break-in, and scheduled maintenance.

Suzuki wrote the service manual for technicians with the skills, equipment, and special tools to service these ATVs, while the owner’s manual addresses riders and routine owner maintenance.

Engine and EFI Fault Isolation

Cylinder-head procedures cover valve-guide replacement and valve-seat repair. The engine chapters also cover bearings, oil seals, oil pump and sump-filter service, water pump repair, and cooling-system bleeding.

The EFI fault charts separate crankshaft-position, throttle-position, coolant-temperature, injector, idle-speed-control, fuel-pump-relay, and differential-lock-relay faults. The manual identifies the mode selection switch 09930-82720 and the Suzuki Diagnostic System set 09904-41010 with CD-ROM 99565-01010-019. Saved operating data lets a technician see what the system recorded when a fault occurred. The manual also covers live-data sampling, diagnostic resets, and code clearing.

CVT, Differential, and Chassis Work

The CVT chapter covers clutch shoe and cover service, belt cooling ducts, shift lever assembly, and shift-rod adjustment. It identifies clutch spring compressor 09922-31430 and fixed driven face holder 09924-52450. Suzuki cautions that prolonged clutch lock-up testing can damage the clutch or engine.

The shaft-drive chapters cover front and rear shafts, the 2WD/4WD actuator, the transfer and gearshift cam, and the output and propeller shafts. Backlash measurements, gear-tooth contact patterns, and shim selection support differential and final-drive setup after reassembly.

Chassis work includes shock and spring preload, control arms, hubs, knuckles, bearings, bushings, and the rear stabilizer. Brake procedures cover the front master cylinder and calipers, the sealed oil-bathed rear brake, and parking-brake adjustment. Steering coverage includes the shaft and tie rods, EPS fail-safe behavior, torque-sensor and motor-circuit faults, control-unit removal, and motor inspection. Suzuki specifies replacement as a unit for a faulty EPS control unit or EPS body assembly and for a damaged wheel-side front drive-shaft joint.

Wiring and Assembly References

The FI System Wiring Diagram and ECM connector pin map support circuit tracing. The EPS Wiring Diagram and the market-specific main wiring sheets identify different equipment, including the Swedish reversing-light circuit and the winch branch for Canada and the U.S. The market codes also identify differences in horn equipment and warning labels.

The Engine Lubrication Circuit Diagram, Cooling Circuit Diagram, and Front Drive (Differential) Construction view show how the assemblies fit together. The manual also supplies component locations, harness, cable and hose routing, exploded views, and service tables for torques, pressures, capacities, clearances, and wear limits. Body procedures cover fenders, the seat, under covers, footrests, carriers, the front grip bar, and trailer-towing hardware.

Riding, Maintenance, and Storage

The owner’s manual covers starting, braking, turning, skidding, hills and side slopes, obstacles, shallow water, cold-weather riding, and reverse operation. It also explains cargo loading, winch lead wires, towing, transport, and cleaning.

Maintenance covers the battery, spark plug, throttle and fuel controls, engine oil and filter, air cleaner, coolant, driveline oils, tires, brakes, wheel removal, spark arrester, drive-shaft boots, lighting, fuses, and lubrication points. Owner troubleshooting focuses on fuel supply and ignition checks for a hard-start or no-start condition. Incorrect repairs to the fuel, brake, CVT, engine, steering, or electrical systems can make the ATV unsafe to ride.

Drive-Belt Width and Differential Backlash Examples

For the CVT drive V-belt, Suzuki lists a standard width of 31.1 mm (1.22 in) and a service limit of 30.1 mm (1.18 in).

For the front differential gear, the specified backlash is 0.05–0.20 mm (0.0020–0.0080 in). The service data gives separate front-gear backlash specifications for checks with and without the gear cover.
