You only have 2 ways to go......1. fuel .....2. spark, if your cranking your bike, first off try this. crank it with no choke . if nothing happens , take your choke pull it all the way out, now crank it.
if it fires, push choke half way in, continue to crank, it should start . If nothing happens a all .

You have to pull out spark plugs, look at them closely . Is it soaked with gas ? or is it dry as a bone ? if it is soaked with gas, clean it up and dry it off, now check your gap it should be alright
but just check it anyways if the gap is to much it will not fire inside the cyclinder, if it is closed
to much it will not fire . take your plug put it back in just the plug wire and rest it up against the
head or any metal surface, now crank your bike if it has a good blue spark your good with the
electrial check both plugs same way . Now if that is ok , then you have to move on to the fuel.
if you have new clean fuel, good , if it is old like lat years get rid of it . drain everything tank and
all of your fuel filters replace, make sure all of your lines are flowing and carb will clean them self.
give it a little bit after it starts running be gentle with let everything catch up. If it needs final

adjustment on carbs take it back to who ever rebuilt them . Good Luck

GSF1250 Bandit - intermitant start. Starter motor will some times crank over and engine will start immediately. Other times the starter motor will not even click. Battery fully charged. Side stand up...

there is a common fault with the 1250 bandit in that the magnets detatch inside the starter motor and it eventually breaks up and stops working, this can begin with sluggish starter especially when hot, it would appear to be a flat battery but the power required by the failing starter can drop the battery off quickly to confuse you when trying to find your fault

'Sticky' gearbox on 2004, 1200 Bandit

Have had the smaller brother of this bike, here is what I found, try using 10W40 full synthetic oil, make sure the clutch is adjusted exactly right, if that doesn't help the engagement dogs are worn and u need an overhaul, which isn't that hard, about 10 hours work and $200 in parts.

Hello I have a 2001 Suzuki bandit 1200. The problem is when I depress the starter switch. I hear the normal spinning of something below near the top of the engine. but the motorcycle wont start. 2...

I had the same thing happen. It's a problem with the starter clutch and how it's attached . A primary bolt is loose. Be sure to have your mechanic use some locktite or really wrench it on there tight--my guy fixed it and then the same thing happened again 10 mos later. But it hasn't happened again in the several years since then. Good luck.

Ive lost the manuel for my 2005 Suzuki GSF 650 Bandit k5. Is there somewhere i can download a free copy?

http://www.manualesdemecanica.com/en/service-manuals.html?func=fileinfo&id=603

"This manual contains an introductory description on the SUZUKI GSF650/S and procedures for its inspection/service and overhaul of its main components."

You need to register, but it's free. Don't know if they spam alot, but it might me a good idea to use some other e-mail account than your primary one.

Regards,
Chris
