check to see if you have coolant temp sensor

Its a Dr get used to it, just master the compression release and keep your carb and spark plug clean

that could be a bad cable or your trani needs to be rebuilt.

Don't hold the lever in as you kick. It is designed to get you just past TDC on the compression stroke. Try this:

1. pull in decomp lever (it should stay down)
2. slowly move kick start down. STOP as soon as the decomp lever pops up.
3. return kick starter to the top of the stroke.
4. kick smoothly all the way to the bottom. (takes very little effort)
5. no start? return to step 1.



If it still problem try check the adjustment on the decomp lever. The lever should stay down until you rotate the engine with the kick start to just past TDC on the compression stroke.

It may be ok , but many bikes flood when sitting over night and fill the sump with fuel. if the carb float doesnt quite seal.
Not sure about epa , I think it shouldnt be a problem unless carb overflows and drips on the ground, during the inspection.

start by cleaning all the fule lines and pipes out look at the fule tap in the tank it may have a blocked filter on it,then blow trough all the lines right back into the fule tank if fule is reaching the card strip the carb and clean out all the jets plus the flote bowl your bike is not getting any fule

Check clutch switch may be stuck bike thinks you are putting in gear without pulling clutch

Off position, FILL tank completely to prevent rust if its metal, if its plastic to prevent condensation inside.

Hi, Check battrery cabbles to and from the starter. Check that alternater is charging. Check
solenoid which would be near starter. (lose connections). Good luck.

What bike do you have, and are the volts/ohms in spec? You can have continuity, but not enough juice for proper spark. cleaned the ground posts with sand paper and the put it back on. then i unplugged the kill switch and then plugged it back in. then replaced the spark plug and it started right up . so try this couple of things and see what happens. You need a mulit-meter to make sure that you are getting proper juice

Hi,,remove the tape and check the connections,,when you say "everthing went dead i assume you mean all lights ect,,,check your fuse box,,,more than likely the indicator wiring has shorted and blown a fuse.

Hi dogothedeser,

You did not state what model Suzuki you have. Some batteries are on the underneath of the bike; seats are usually bolted on and can be removed by removing the side covers and then removing the bolts holding the seat on. The fuel tank usually has to come off too. This is usually held on by a single bolt under the seat.

If you would please post a comment with the Model of your Suzuki, I may be able to assist you quickly.

Thank you.

do you have stock main and pilot jets in carb?

i will assume the pads are tight against the disc?, release the pressure by undoing the bleed screw, don,t forget rebleed the brake..

Just a big nut on one end. Sounds like its frozen in, as there is a metal "tube" in the center of the wheel between the wheel bearings, and if it's never been greased, I'm sure it's rusted in. Lots of patience and spray rust solvent in, and let it sit, repeat... This may help.

Si jodance

Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap? Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.
