Electric pickup not working, loose or a bad wire.

1. Is it a new bike for you? or do you own it for a while? 2. try checking the clutch. it might need tightning. try from the lever on the top. if you don't know how to, then ask a mechanic. 3. check if you need to "rev it up". when lowering a gear, you let go of the throttle, pull the clutch, give a quick twist of the throttle (pull and let go) while lowering a gear to match the rev's of the engine to the gear, and ease of the clutch off. 4. check you oil level. Some bikes are very sensitive to low oil. My v strom when hitting half, will start acting out with the gear.

i got the same problem i have been over the whole bike cant find the problem i was hoping someone had a dealer find the problem on there bike. i m still lookin i thought key switch but i have one tail light workin all flashers work and sometimes the fuel pump wont start its a very crazy problem.

Usually all 3 of these things mentioned are activated when the key is turned to on. I don't know about any fuses or links on that bike but check your manual or online to locate them. The problem could be in the area of the start switch also.

Hello James, when the wheel bearing goes it is usually evident through the handlebars. A rumbling, gritty kind of feeling. If you feel any kind of resistance it could also be the front caliper sticking. Support your bike with the front wheel off the ground so you can turn it by hand. This will help to troubleshoot better. I hope this helps.

i have a uz50 suzuki it turns over but wont spark

It isn't difficult, especially if you can get some one to hold the tank up for you. Sorry I don't have pictures.

1. remove the seat: on a stock seat there is one bolt behind the pillion, slide the pillion seat backwards out of the leather handle and undo the two bolts underneath to release the driver's seat which also slides out backwards.

2. disconnect the battery: always a good idea when working on your bike, not always necessary but generally safer.

3. remove the instruments: the instrument cluster on top of the tank is held on by three allen bolts, the front two are much easier to get to with a multi-tip-screwdriver type tool. Underneath the panel is an electrical connector in a rubber sheath. just peel the rubber back and gently work the connector loose - don't pull on the wires.

2. unbolt the tank: at the back of the tank you'll see one large bolt, undo that and slide the tank back until it is free of the rubber mounts towards the front of the bike.

3. get help: now you could do with someone to hold the tank up while you work underneath it. it is possible to do this by yourself but much, much more annoying.

4. disconnect the electrics: there are two connections to unfasten before lifting the tank. the electrical connector is most likely brown in color and connects two sets of wires, you should be able to depress the clips with your fingers and separate the wires easily. again, don't pull on the wires themselves.

5. disconnect the fuel pump: the pump is part of the tank and is connected to the injection system by a pipe with a clip on the end. this one is a bit fiddly but you should be able to depress the inner section of the clip and work the pipe free of the tank with your fingers. You may find that a little fuel spills out but it won't be very much.

check the block under rear seat a white one small 2 wires in it, short them with a hair clip or fuse wire turn ignition on see what comes up on dash

might be best to replace em

The large wire to the starter from the battery is corroded at the starter terminal, or the large earth wire is not clean.
