My bike won't start, it is a 2000 1500 intruder suzuki, the starter was looked at by a professional and the starter is good. All lights work, battery is fully charged, the only way I can start my bike is direct from my pick up to starter on bike not battery. When I try starting it it makes a clicking sound which looks like it is from the sellinide at top of engine with a cable on it. Checked all fuses and they are all good.

Question edited for full make and model names.
Question moved to model category.

Could be a bad relay and they are easy enough to rest. The problem with bikes is corrosion. Involved in starting, is the battery, the battery connections, the starter button, the relay, and the starter solenoid and its connections. Break all the connections, clean with a wire brush until shiny, smother them with Vaseline and do them back up. Vaseline stops oxidization and also transmits electricity. Ideas in this link from owners regarding corrosion.

An electrical part is worn causing ovrheatn. Ignition parts need to b tests..coil. Plugcables ignition module or components on alternator. Get a clymer or haynesmanual

Try a jumper cable from a car. If that works, you probably have a bad battery. They can fail suddenly like that.

If a jump doesn't work, then you're probably looking for a bad ignition switch.

when i shut off my 2002 suzuki motorcyle it run perfect then went to start i and have no power battery good have no light on dash no head light brrake light everything is dead what could be wrong can you help with a idea thank you dave

indicates a bad battery
when the starter is engaged there is not enough power left for the ignition system
when push start all of the power goes to the ignition system and it starts
lights are no indication of a good battery
take it to a bike auto electrician specialist shop for a charge system check

Check the battery terminals and it's connections it could be corroded with acidic powder, also check the starter solenoid switch and also check the starter button switch too..many atimes this accumulates carbon and thus fails. Check the charging rate of the charging system on your bike's engine. @idling it should show 13.8-14Volts.

Is your kill switch on it is located on right side of handbar small red off-on switch

If it was the relay, you probably wouldn't hear it clicking. you may be able to hold the starter button, and tap on the starter lightly to see if it works.

It's most likely the connection to the battery. The screws dont tighten in well and you get the famous clicking....I replaced the stock philips screws with a hex bolt and after two years of trying to solve the problen have been starting everytime for the past year no problems. Another gie away is the intermitant starting problem gets worse when wet.
