Disadvantages of the Suzuki F10D engine
The device was created and manufactured in India, but there are issues with spare parts and maintenance;
Nozzles clog, candles quickly deteriorate, and the motor dislikes bad fuel;
Two-pin ignition coils are not inexpensive, but they also lack dependability;
Since there are no hydraulic lifters and valve clearances must be adjusted every 30,000 kilometers, fluctuating rpm is typically caused by a dirty throttle body.
