My 2005 Suzuki Boulevard Will not start most of the time. I have replaced the battery, pulled and checked the Starter Relay, Decompression Relay and the combination Turn Signal/side stand Relay, I have also tested the decompression solenoid, all worked correctly. When I push the starter button the light dims but the starter won't turn, if I leave the bike setting for a long period of time, sometimes the bike will start like nothing is wrong then after running the bike will refuse to start, even if I try to jump it.

    Mine has the same issue. Had battery replaced, tried the rolling it backwards thing - no difference. It seems there are lots of bike owners out there with the same issue but no one has identified the problem.

Same problem here ... 2008 C90T ... dealer no help ... in 3rd or 4th, ignition off, force it to roll backwards until you hear the piston shift ... should start then. Told it's the rear piston stopping at or near top dead center, but also told adjust the decompression will "solve" the issue; anyway, a rolling forward-start in 4th will work, too, otherwise try rolling the bike backwards until you hear, and you will know when the piston moves and then it will start.

Checked fuses all of them r good the bike will not start has new battery

Check the safety switches, specifically the neutral detect and clutch safety.
If the bike thinks it's in gear, or that the clutch isn't pulled in, it won't start!
Check the wiring to the starter relay.

06 s83 won't start. Rode for 70 miles, parked in

replace your battery although you have 12 volts your battery is producing very little amps not even enough to energize your start relay let alone your starter motor
