I just came back from a track day on my 2007 GSXR. After 5 sessions, the bike stopped starting. Looked everywhere and ended up finding this video and low and behold, my clutch lever switch was broken. A heart-felt thanks for the great content John and the team!
Thanks SO much, you set me on the right direction and more importantly, you've made a lifelong customer when or if I need parts, because you saved me from a few hundred $$$ bill to have her towed to a shop and worked on, etc.! All we need is someone honest who can steer you in the right direction - I have a busa but Suzuki is very similar across the GSXR line. Thanks again, GSXT 1300 owner!
On your Busa did you get a CHEC light on the dash and no fuel pump prime or starter relay clicking noise? I have the problem and after much research I am assuming it could be either the starter relay, side stand relay or fuel pump relay. What was your issue on your busa. Please feel free to share. Thanks.
I didn’t hear the solinoid click and the clutch switch didn’t seem to be working correctly. I took the switch of the clutch and it was looking dirty. Sprayed it with some Contact Cleaner. My test light works now when I press the switch and I can hear the solenoid. Thanks for the trouble shoot tips. You’re a Champion!
My 01 GSXR 1000 Will not start, I hear the fuel pump. But she will not fire up. New Plugs and filter,I spray starter fluid in intake and nothing. But every once in a while she will give a little rumble then die. Sounds like something is shutting her down. What to do. Any help is appreciated, Thank you for your time.
The starter fuse on my gsxr was blown! THANKYOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! You have no idea how relieved iam. Can ride to work now and enjoy the Xmas break. Thanks again!!
John thanks alot man. I have an 03 GSXR R1000 and the issue with mine was the battery. My battery was dead and no good so got it switched out. Thanks for going through these steps which helped me troubleshoot other things to make sure.
THANK YOU SIR!!! Absolute life saver. All that happened was the clutch lever neutral switch connector had back out. Followed your trouble shooting process & BAM that was it.
Hello, very useful videos, thank you. I do have a question. 2008 GSXR 600, my fuse is good on the starter solenoid, but I got no power on the yellow wire when I hit the start button. And the relay does not click at all, as well as fuel pump does not turn on. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you.
My 08 gsxr 1000 sat 7/8yrs after a tragic accident that my interest was lost. Now i wanna get back to riding & went to start bike to notice i need new throttle cable however my bike won't start. It turns over just no fire so we changed the tank still nthn and then thought about the injectors maybe needing cleaning however not sure due to the time it set in my basement & changed battery also! 1 option said maybe stator then another said check injectors from ur experience what u suggest or idea u may clearly have upon this issue?
Hi, I own aGsr 750, 2015. It happened something similar . I start the instrumentation panel, the lights are good, right. When you hold the clutch down and press the start button should start like usually. She started after I shift in the first gear holding the clutch down and the starting button giving a strong push and releasing the clutch gently.Before that I checked the voltage on my remote alarm display, was 11.82V. The bike was in cold weather all day outside at work.
I'm curious what you think would be the most likely issue between the starter or clutch switch. I have an 09 1000. Everything was working fine, but when I went to leave work at the end of the day, would not crank. After about 3 minutes, it cranked and fired right up. No issues the rest of the day, until the next morning goin to work and again at lunch.
@DarthShibby I finally found out that my clutch neutral switch was unplugged but the connectors were still touching under the protectivesleeve. Plugged it back together and haven't had a problem since.
I need help with my bike if possible 07 GSXR 600 I turn the key the cluster is stuck wont go to zero just turns on and stay stuck might need a new cluster...I replaced the completel lock set thank you so much for your helpful video so I turn the key cluster is stuck and i get nothing no noise no relays turning no fuel pump priming what could it be if you could help out
Hi I have a 5/02 GSXR 1000 Suzuki that has been crashed the speedo is disconnected and the loom is disconnected both are damaged I have ignition and the tail light is coming on but the bike will not turn over and the fuel pump is not turning on can you tell me if it needs the speedo instruments to be able to start. It will turn over crossing the solenoid but still won't start. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for the video. I am having problems getting my K3 1000 to start. My bike had sat in the garage for a few months. It would not start, the starter was having a hard time turning. I replaced the battery, same problem. I replaced the starter, same problem. I replaced the starter relay, now all I get is the new relay buzzes. Am I missing something? What would be the next thing to check? Ant info would be great. Thank you
Take the time to test the whole system. Start by inspecting the cables and wires for corrosion or damage. Load test battery, test stator and rectifier.
My cousins 01 r600.. wont start.. he checked everything.. and is working properly.. just havent try the clutch switch yet.. would the start button be a problem also..???
I have a 2004 Gsxr 600. Its been sitting for quite some time. I replaced the battery as I knew it didnt have any power. I put some gas in the tank. The starter is kicking the engine over and wants to start but doesnt. I picked up some starting fluid, gave that a try. It will kick over and start to run but only for a second then stalls. I hear the fuel pump working everytime I turn the key and I dont think its my spark plugs as I have replaced them years ago. Can spark plugs just go bad just sitting in the engine? Im thinking I might not be getting any spark from the coils.
Hi, I’m having an issue with my 04 GSXR 600. Anytime I connect the battery, it starts turning over. I get no power to the dash and the kill switch or start button does nothing. I am assuming it is the starter relay. Should I replace the starter relay or is there something else that I should be looking at?
I have a 2015 gsxr 16 000 klm on the clock its swinging over but not starting. it has a dyno jet power commander and a short shifter, iv replaced spark plugs and battery fuel pump is priming, and am currently lost with what could be the problem f1 code c24, c25, c26, and c27 are showing any helpful info will be appreciated thanks
Love the videos you produce and gives me confidence in working on my own bikes. I just bought Chinese clone of a Honda Grom, 2019 X-Pro Vader 125cc. The previous owner drove it for 26 miles and garaged it there after for about 1 year, because he would ride and then it would just shut off completely, he had taken it to motorcycle mechanics and they were dumbfounded when they test rode it and it did the same thing. After buying his bike I had the same trouble and with a new battery I can see the one fuse on the positive terminal that keeps blowing every time I try to replace the fuse. So I get no lights on the digital dash, no start, can you guide me on what you think on how to repair the fuse that keeps blowing., any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello I have 2016 gsxr 600, I’m having trouble with starting, all the light turns on, but doesn’t start, I checked everything has power, but the negative terminal on the starter relay doesn’t glow the light, but the fuse is in perfect condition, clutch is good too, any idea what could be possibly wrong. I’m thinking maybe the regulator/rectifier. Thanks
I own a 2007 GSXR 600 with 5700 miles, 3 weeks ago I stopped and got gas. When I went to start the bike back up the instrument cluster only displayed the neutral light and the display that shows MPG, mileage, temp etc only had the back light on. When I attempt to start the bike as seen in the video it doesn't start. My first thought was the charging system, very common on these bikes to go out. I order the parts and put in a new rectifier, stater, and battery. I go to start the bike and it still won't start the instrument cluster only illuminates with the neutral light. The fuel pump primes and the only suggestion I've gotten is to check fuses. Update I've checked all fuses and none are blown I have also checked spark plugs and they all spark, could it be the starter relay? I don't have a test light to check.
I have 2005 gsxr600 I have started in while and didnt have battery in it. I put fresh battery and want to start it and it keep blowing the starter Relay Fuze as right as I put it in. Without ignition even being on... any good advice as to where I should look for short ?
Hey Partzilla! i dropped my 09' gsxr 600 on its left side and now it wont turn over. I push started it and it runs fine but whenever i hit the ignition button i get nothing. I have tried the ignition while the bike is running and i still get nothing, no sound of the starter motor trying to turn over. What coud be the issue here?
Partszilla... Took my 2007 gsxr 1000 apart to paint and maintence a bunch for the winter. Took the whole back subframe apart and took out the ECU. The wife accidentally ran it over. So I'm buying a new one. Can I just get a used on and plug it in and go or do I have to get it programmed or new keys programmed? Thanks
Hi John, I've done everything you've stated here and found it very helpful, but while testing the starter silonoid with the negative cable disconnected, the relay does not make the "clicking noise" as mentioned. Also, when I touch the negative cable with the test light it does not light up. Any suggestions?
So that black and white white u did your test on on mine it stays hot all the time even if i pull the clutch handle in or out no matter what it a hot for me that mean it back correct?? Thanks for your time
I've got a 05 gsxr 1000 last week's bike's driving ok after my ride out put it away in the garage it turns over but won't start I can hear the fuel pump priming but won't tickover any other clues I should look for thank you
2003 GSXR 600 , it has been sitting for 8 years outdoors , I drained fuel. I hooked up jumper pack straight to bike cables, wanted to see if it will crank, turn the key to on, I get neutral light, head light, tail light, I hear fuel pump try tp prime, Very low (weak sound then normal). get no speed or mileage info on display,, kick stand is down, maybe some type of safety ? checked all fuses, no broken fuse, I am handy with a fluke meter maybe can give me some starting points
Hello there,,i have a question about my 2009 gsxr 600.one day it just died off me after starting and running the bike for about 20 seconds.after that it was just turning or cranking but not starting the bike.had checked batteries,new sparkplugs,strater fuses ,tip over sensor..clutch,kickstand,and fuel pump working.but still bike wont start..desperate for help pleaseee..thanks.🙂
Hi I have a gsxr1000 k2 tried to start it but when you operate the start button I’ve gives a click click click click very rapidly until you release the start button , I connected to my car battery with jump leads did same thing? Can you help?
Hello looking for some help. Have a 07 750. It keeps blowing that fuse. Changed rectifier, stator, and battery. As soon as I hook up the battery it blows the fuse.
hi I have a Gsxr 1000 k4 special edition I started in the morning to make sure all was working for the mot 3 hours later the lights came on but it would not start in fact the fuel pump you can here prime usually but its not doing that any advice would be fantastic
I have a 1990 GSXR 750M track only bike that will not start. I thought I had a problem with the starter relay as it was clicking when I tried to start the bike, so I bought a new one and replaced the old one. Still not starting. Neutral, oil light and dials illuminate with the ignition switch set to ON position. Now, the new starter relay making a buzzing noise instead. I have also put a shorty aftermarket clutch and brake lever, would this affect anything? I fully charged the battery and tried again. Still no luck. I have not tried push starting it yet. Should I try this? Should I change the battery as it was bought in 2011? Do you have any suggestions as to why it will not start? Your help would be most appreciated. Thanks
I have power to one side of the solenoid (thick red cable) but when pressing starter switch it's not jumping from one side of the solenoid to the other terminal, the one that runs to the starter motor bench tested both solenoid and starter motor and they work just fine so what's happening? Full power on battery as well.
I have got no dash coming on when I turn on the ignition just the headlights come on. I have power though even with ignition off to starter relay and both sides of the 30amp fuse. When I jump together neg and pos terminals off the starter relay it turns over even without the ignition on. Should I have power to both sides of relay with ignition off? and should the starter turn over when shorted across with ignition off?
Your explanation a gave me a light! I have an 05 gsxr 750,it was crashed and totally rebuilt, now I'm having problems starting it. Lights,tach,fuel..everything is working. But when I hit the starting button,the relay doesn't even click. What can it be? Thanks a lot !
I’ve got an ‘06 GSX-R 600 that keeps blowing the 30A fuse and I’m sure it’s an easy fix, I don’t know where to look for to fix the issue though. Absolutely no power goes to it and the battery is good. Could use the help..
Greetings thank you very much for your content, I have a 2017 gsxr1000 I can't get to start after installing a quantum fuel pump I have a C41 code any help would be very appreciated
So I’m having the FI light and the code is c42. It’s a 2015 gsxr 600. It won’t crank up and everything is working fine but just woke turn over and crank. What could be the issue. The bike haven’t been rode in a long time
I have low mile from o.g. owner gsxr 1000 ('06) with Zero'd out Power Commander II (still hooked up) and my ECU was flashed w FTECU for megaphone pipe early 2019. Stock air filter and stock Ti header. The bike never did this for 10months after I had ECU flashed. Problem: Intermittently only like 1/6 rides - bike will crank but NOT RUN from cold or warm.....ive waited 30 sec in between 4-5 tries and it might catch and then run no problem. Sometimes Ive cranked 10 times to point where battery gets weak so I give up...today I went home and let the bike sit at work in sun and tried again 11 hrs later. It still did not want to run and I had to crank 5-6 times and luckily it ran perfect lit off no hesitation after cycling key between tries. I cannot tell if its no fuel or no spark. Fuel pump always spins/whines....has left me stranded at work x2 times and I give up cranking it and just just hitch a ride home w coworker. Bike was damp on nighshift 2 of the 3 occasions so I was thinking moisture ingress ...... I can not replicate the problem after it runs. It does this 1/6+ rides to work...she just will not RUN while cranking not even a clue that it wants to catch and run...its all or nothing....she is cranking with no clue it wants to catch or it fires right up. NEW Iridium plugs several weeks ago to address but it is still doing it randomly!! It also did it hot after a 20 min ride in to work I accidentally stalled it at badge readers and it wouldnt restart! 91 octane fuel + new plugs only 13,000 o.g. miles....mods FTECU flash 2019, but still has old 2007 PCII ( in place but zero'd out)
Hi guys, outstanding, well explicit, well presented, easy to understand vocabulary, nice tips, to understand stand, you guys are outstanding, nice of you to share that information with us, must kind of you, keep up to the good work, congratulations.
Hey patzila im using gsxr 600 2008... Im getting cide c32 and c33 it says two injectors...... I have inspected the injectors is spraying great i have inspected wire harness is have all same power power but the problem is now bike wont start is trying but not starting.. Fuel pump.fuel pressure.. Plugs throttle is perfect... But bike doesn't start and they others guys says is ground wire so i dont know where is the ground were can you help me out
I’m having this issue. This is what I’ve done so far. Replaced the battery as it was bad. But then my starter relay fuse kept blowing. So, I replaced the starter relay. Still blowing. I’ve been thru about ten 30 amp fuses trying to diagnose the issue. I haven’t checked the clutch wires bc I’m getting no juice whatsoever. I know it has to be something within that battery to starter area. I just can’t figure out what. I’ve checked for exposed or touching wires & found nothing. 😢
My name is Hidalgo, I have a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 with 5,300 miles on it and having trouble with my front left turn signal won’t illuminate when button pressed. When I hit the bottom on left turn signal the rear blinks but fast but does illuminate when button and power is applied.
**Question 07 GSXR 750 About a month and a half ago my throttle pull cable snapped as I was riding, no biggie, replaced it and figured my bike was all good to go. When I go to start it I noticed my fuel fuse was blown and wasn't sure why so I replaced it. Every time I try to start it again the fuel fuse would pop. So I ignorantly put a larger fuse in and finally got it to start. However it was running pretty rough and bogged out till it died. I then put in its correct fuse and now it won't start. It cranks over but that's all. As far as troubleshooting I change the spark plugs, check the rectifier and that was OK, all other fuses were OK, cleaned the fuel filter, adjusted the TPS sensor, battery is fine. If I could get some advise I'd appreciate it!
Hi i have a 04 gsxr750 i change the starter relay at first it was working fine but once again relay dont get power i did check the fuse and the fuse is ok i also check the cluch switch and is good , battery is brand new . I dont know wath else to check please help ....
Thank you for the support,I got a 2005 r1000 I remove gas tank and disconnected all electric parts becouse it had 2 stock valves I didn't that put everything back together now the bike won't start it has spark fuel it turns it would not fires thanks I did crank the motor with everything unplug,,,thanks
Thanks you make great videos. I have an 06 GSXR600. I've had the spark plugs changed, fuel pump changed, all relays checked, the starter switch replaced, new battery and the bike won't turn over. All the lights come on and you here the clicking but it wont turn over. No power is going to the fuel pump. Could this be the wiring or ECM?
Hi I'm Daniel I have a 2002 gsxr 1000 she'll start up and I'll drive around for a while even turn it off gi do something come back and she'll start with no problem but she'll stall a at ight starting off and won't start back up again. When go to start her back up she seems to die like the battery is dead. I did a battery check and even changed the battery there hold the charge even with a load. Relay clicks. I'm it's the starter that when it get hot it doesn't want to start. Help, getting that starter out looks like a nightmare.. Thanks Daniel
Hey I’m having the problem of my gsr 750 will start and ride but when I turn it off then try start it again it’ll act asif there’s not enough volts in the battery, batttery showing 12.9 when off
Tengo un suzuki gsxr 1000 2006 estaba andando y cuando la apague no encendio mas, tiene corriente y llega combustible , gira el motor pero no enciende , sera algun sensor?
On my 09 V-strom dL 650 the starter solenoid is clicking several times when I press the starter switch, but bike won’t crank or it won’t start at all, replaced the battery and starter solenoid it self and it keeping doing the same thing, just checked all the step on your great video and they look the be getting good power and ground, but I can’t figure it out 😕, any suggestions? Besides than get you a new bike lol
Partzilla yes! You completely right, After I checked everything absolutely everything else like battery, starter solenoid, starter switch, kick stand switch, clutch sensor, starter assembly by it self, I was able to find out than the screw holding the negative wire from the battery was sulfated all around the tread with absolutely no sign of rust or any damage on the outside, the washer and ring by it self was looking so clean and healthy, so I removed it to check the connection and I figured it out than the screw was all white on the treads, I cleaned this out real good, sanded off a little bit and the bike started up right away with no issues 🤙🏻
Guys I have a question. I know noting about motorcycles oy that my brother is not Turing on. While trying to help him out at one point bike lost all power to lights , does the starter silanoyd also controll the lights to bike
I have a 2001 Gsxr recently had a bad stator and I fried some wires, so I replaced the stator and regulator put in new spark plugs oil change new battery, and can’t get her to turn over just turns over lights on my dash go off and won’t start, I’ve been reading it could be my ECU or sometimes the ignition switch goes out, any ideas before a spend another 100 bucks on a ECU, thank you
My bike has a 3 prong toggle switch. Lost keys. Wiring came out of toggle switch. When I connected it went completely dead... wired back wrong??? How do I re wire???
Question my 01 gsxr fuel pump only primes when I boost the battery to 24v. This started when I broke my key in my switch and replaced it with a cheap ignition switch. Can a bad diode in the switch cause the pump not to prime?
Just to confirm. When testing the starter replay. You had the negative cable disconnected. I hear the click when I hit the start button but my negative and positive are connected. Is it supposed to start when I test the starter solinod with the negative and positive cables connected.
HEY, MY GY6 150CC DOESNT START BY THE ELECTRIC START BUTTON I PUT ON A NEW SOLENOID RELAY IT RUNS WITH THE KICK START BUT NOT BY THE ELECTRIC START BUTTON AND THE NEW SOLEN/RELAY I TRY STARTING IT BY JUMPING THE SOLEN/RELAY WITH PLIERS BUT I DIDNT GET ANY SPARK WHEN I JUMP IT WITH A PAIR OF PLIERS WHAT COULD BE WRONG GARRET PLEASE HELP? JOE Show less
hi your videos are very helpful to me thank you, I have a question if you can please help me. my 2007 susuki drains the battery in a few cranks, ( new battery ) even if I jump start with my car battery ( not runing ) it acts as it drained too. I appreciate any ideas. thank you
Have a question for you. I have a Kawazaki ninja 250 2007. The bike doesn’t start, I jumped started and it worked, went for a spin down the street, but the next day didn’t work again. I thought it was the battery so I replaced it. But still doesn’t show anything in the dashboard, i checked the fuses and they look ok. I have a tool to jumpstart motorcycles or cars and when i connect that to the battery it shows the lights in dashboard, but if i take that off the battery it shows nothing... any idea?
I have a question. I have a 07 gsxr 1000. When I try to start the bike I just get a click a single click sound come from the starter. I have replaced the starter solenoid brand new, I've tested the clutch switch. Can anyone help. Wondering if the engine is froze up. I put the bike into 6th gear and tried to spin the rear tire and it will not
Great video. This video helped , but what is the possible problem if your test light doesn't light up on the last relay check of the ground side at te Videos 4:09 min part. ?
Hello again Partzilla, I do appreciate your videos. 👍 So.. I ended up taking my "no starting 07 GSXR1000 to the shop to get another set of eyes on it. And They tell me number 9 ecm pin melted. My ? Is.. What types of things may cause this and if i put another ecm in.. how do i know the new ecm won't just melt down too?
Hello everyone. I have a starting problem on my gsxr 1000 k5. Everything lights up starter is cranking but the engine wont start. When turning the kill switch on i can't hear the pump working like it should... Just turning the kill switch on and nothing happens... Like i have the side stand opened but the problem is that the side stand is closed and the side stand switch is working properly. And the CHEC code is on my display. Not FI code.. Just the CHEC. It might be the relay problem but i dont know i haven't checked it yet.
was diagnosing a quad that was left to me has a 2006 gsx-r1000 and when i hit the start button my starter make a loud click sound and has a hard time cranking over does this mean my starter motor is on its last legs? and the starter rely part really helped me about the fuse because i couldnt find the dang thing on the quad until i found it hiding way under where it should not be so i relocated it as well while i was there. as well when you buy the starter motor will it come built i saw your link but im not sure if i feel comfortable putting it together myself i dont wanna drop any parts any advice?
mine has been starting and then not starting off and on for a month now, when I turn the handle bars it tends to start, been trouble shooting and still can’t figure it out
changed the starter relay, starter, stator, and rectifier, and still will not cut on. the lights and everything else works fine. everytime I try to start it I just hear clicking in the starter relay solenoid.
I have an 07 Busa. The lights come on, but the instrument panel doesn't cycle through. The tachometer rests at 4k RPM on and off. The odometer and clock doesn't come on. I have a new battery installed. It also will not start with a jump. What troubleshooting steps do I take next?
I just came back from a track day on my 2007 GSXR. After 5 sessions, the bike stopped starting. Looked everywhere and ended up finding this video and low and behold, my clutch lever switch was broken. A heart-felt thanks for the great content John and the team!
What was your bike doing
Thanks SO much, you set me on the right direction and more importantly, you've made a lifelong customer when or if I need parts, because you saved me from a few hundred $$$ bill to have her towed to a shop and worked on, etc.! All we need is someone honest who can steer you in the right direction - I have a busa but Suzuki is very similar across the GSXR line. Thanks again, GSXT 1300 owner!
On your Busa did you get a CHEC light on the dash and no fuel pump prime or starter relay clicking noise? I have the problem and after much research I am assuming it could be either the starter relay, side stand relay or fuel pump relay. What was your issue on your busa. Please feel free to share. Thanks.
I didn’t hear the solinoid click and the clutch switch didn’t seem to be working correctly. I took the switch of the clutch and it was looking dirty. Sprayed it with some Contact Cleaner. My test light works now when I press the switch and I can hear the solenoid. Thanks for the trouble shoot tips. You’re a Champion!
My 01 GSXR 1000 Will not start, I hear the fuel pump. But she will not fire up. New Plugs and filter,I spray starter fluid in intake and nothing. But every once in a while she will give a little rumble then die. Sounds like something is shutting her down. What to do. Any help is appreciated, Thank you for your time.
John is the man! Could you use a standard multimeter instead of a test light? If so, which general setting?
This video saved me from being stranded. Thank you very much for the informative video!
My GSXR has a black n red wire on the right fairing that was unplugged and i traced it back to this exact starter relay, Where do i plug it in ?
The starter fuse on my gsxr was blown! THANKYOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! You have no idea how relieved iam. Can ride to work now and enjoy the Xmas break. Thanks again!!
John thanks alot man. I have an 03 GSXR R1000 and the issue with mine was the battery. My battery was dead and no good so got it switched out. Thanks for going through these steps which helped me troubleshoot other things to make sure.
THANK YOU SIR!!! Absolute life saver. All that happened was the clutch lever neutral switch connector had back out. Followed your trouble shooting process & BAM that was it.
Hello, very useful videos, thank you. I do have a question. 2008 GSXR 600, my fuse is good on the starter solenoid, but I got no power on the yellow wire when I hit the start button. And the relay does not click at all, as well as fuel pump does not turn on. Any help or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you.
My 08 gsxr 1000 sat 7/8yrs after a tragic accident that my interest was lost. Now i wanna get back to riding & went to start bike to notice i need new throttle cable however my bike won't start. It turns over just no fire so we changed the tank still nthn and then thought about the injectors maybe needing cleaning however not sure due to the time it set in my basement & changed battery also! 1 option said maybe stator then another said check injectors from ur experience what u suggest or idea u may clearly have upon this issue?
Hi, I own aGsr 750, 2015.
It happened something similar . I start the instrumentation panel, the lights are good, right. When you hold the clutch down and press the start button should start like usually. She started after I shift in the first gear holding the clutch down and the starting button giving a strong push and releasing the clutch gently.Before that I checked the voltage on my remote alarm display, was 11.82V. The bike was in cold weather all day outside at work.
Couldn't thank you enough for a simple solution that seemed so complicated - God Bless!
You're welcome!
I'm curious what you think would be the most likely issue between the starter or clutch switch. I have an 09 1000. Everything was working fine, but when I went to leave work at the end of the day, would not crank. After about 3 minutes, it cranked and fired right up. No issues the rest of the day, until the next morning goin to work and again at lunch.
@DarthShibby I finally found out that my clutch neutral switch was unplugged but the connectors were still touching under the protectivesleeve. Plugged it back together and haven't had a problem since.
I need help with my bike if possible 07 GSXR 600 I turn the key the cluster is stuck wont go to zero just turns on and stay stuck might need a new cluster...I replaced the completel lock set thank you so much for your helpful video so I turn the key cluster is stuck and i get nothing no noise no relays turning no fuel pump priming what could it be if you could help out
Hi I have a 5/02 GSXR 1000 Suzuki that has been crashed the speedo is disconnected and the loom is disconnected both are damaged I have ignition and the tail light is coming on but the bike will not turn over and the fuel pump is not turning on can you tell me if it needs the speedo instruments to be able to start. It will turn over crossing the solenoid but still won't start. Thanks for any help.
Thanks for the video. I am having problems getting my K3 1000 to start. My bike had sat in the garage for a few months. It would not start, the starter was having a hard time turning. I replaced the battery, same problem. I replaced the starter, same problem. I replaced the starter relay, now all I get is the new relay buzzes. Am I missing something? What would be the next thing to check? Ant info would be great. Thank you
Take the time to test the whole system. Start by inspecting the cables and wires for corrosion or damage. Load test battery, test stator and rectifier.
My 8k 1000 won’t prime the fuel pump when I turn on the key and it won’t crank.
Do you think it’s the ignition switch harness?
My cousins 01 r600.. wont start.. he checked everything.. and is working properly.. just havent try the clutch switch yet.. would the start button be a problem also..???
I have a 2004 Gsxr 600. Its been sitting for quite some time. I replaced the battery as I knew it didnt have any power. I put some gas in the tank. The starter is kicking the engine over and wants to start but doesnt. I picked up some starting fluid, gave that a try. It will kick over and start to run but only for a second then stalls. I hear the fuel pump working everytime I turn the key and I dont think its my spark plugs as I have replaced them years ago. Can spark plugs just go bad just sitting in the engine? Im thinking I might not be getting any spark from the coils.
Hi, I’m having an issue with my 04 GSXR 600. Anytime I connect the battery, it starts turning over. I get no power to the dash and the kill switch or start button does nothing. I am assuming it is the starter relay. Should I replace the starter relay or is there something else that I should be looking at?
Great video, I've been frustrated all day, turned out to be a cloth lever switch! you Sir is a genius!!
I have a 2015 gsxr 16 000 klm on the clock its swinging over but not starting. it has a dyno jet power commander and a short shifter, iv replaced spark plugs and battery fuel pump is priming, and am currently lost with what could be the problem f1 code c24, c25, c26, and c27 are showing any helpful info will be appreciated thanks
Is that test light any different than using the continuity feature on a multimeter?
Yes, the test light is testing the presence or absence of voltage. It's an easy way to see where the voltage stops and diagnose an issue.
@@PartzillaParts where can one purchase the test light?
Love the videos you produce and gives me confidence in working on my own bikes. I just bought Chinese clone of a Honda Grom, 2019 X-Pro Vader 125cc. The previous owner drove it for 26 miles and garaged it there after for about 1 year, because he would ride and then it would just shut off completely, he had taken it to motorcycle mechanics and they were dumbfounded when they test rode it and it did the same thing. After buying his bike I had the same trouble and with a new battery I can see the one fuse on the positive terminal that keeps blowing every time I try to replace the fuse. So I get no lights on the digital dash, no start, can you guide me on what you think on how to repair the fuse that keeps blowing., any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello I have 2016 gsxr 600, I’m having trouble with starting, all the light turns on, but doesn’t start, I checked everything has power, but the negative terminal on the starter relay doesn’t glow the light, but the fuse is in perfect condition, clutch is good too, any idea what could be possibly wrong. I’m thinking maybe the regulator/rectifier. Thanks
I own a 2007 GSXR 600 with 5700 miles, 3 weeks ago I stopped and got gas. When I went to start the bike back up the instrument cluster only displayed the neutral light and the display that shows MPG, mileage, temp etc only had the back light on. When I attempt to start the bike as seen in the video it doesn't start. My first thought was the charging system, very common on these bikes to go out. I order the parts and put in a new rectifier, stater, and battery. I go to start the bike and it still won't start the instrument cluster only illuminates with the neutral light. The fuel pump primes and the only suggestion I've gotten is to check fuses. Update I've checked all fuses and none are blown I have also checked spark plugs and they all spark, could it be the starter relay? I don't have a test light to check.
I have 2005 gsxr600 I have started in while and didnt have battery in it. I put fresh battery and want to start it and it keep blowing the starter Relay Fuze as right as I put it in. Without ignition even being on... any good advice as to where I should look for short ?
Hey Partzilla! i dropped my 09' gsxr 600 on its left side and now it wont turn over. I push started it and it runs fine but whenever i hit the ignition button i get nothing. I have tried the ignition while the bike is running and i still get nothing, no sound of the starter motor trying to turn over. What coud be the issue here?
I have a 2002 gsxr 600 I’m having issues with is there any way I can get into contact with you to eliminate issues?
Partszilla... Took my 2007 gsxr 1000 apart to paint and maintence a bunch for the winter. Took the whole back subframe apart and took out the ECU. The wife accidentally ran it over. So I'm buying a new one. Can I just get a used on and plug it in and go or do I have to get it programmed or new keys programmed? Thanks
You might have to get the keys reprogrammed.
Hi John, I've done everything you've stated here and found it very helpful, but while testing the starter silonoid with the negative cable disconnected, the relay does not make the "clicking noise" as mentioned. Also, when I touch the negative cable with the test light it does not light up. Any suggestions?
Test light is good, fuse is not blown, switch works
So that black and white white u did your test on on mine it stays hot all the time even if i pull the clutch handle in or out no matter what it a hot for me that mean it back correct?? Thanks for your time
I've got a 05 gsxr 1000 last week's bike's driving ok after my ride out put it away in the garage it turns over but won't start I can hear the fuel pump priming but won't tickover any other clues I should look for thank you
2003 GSXR 600 , it has been sitting for 8 years outdoors , I drained fuel. I hooked up jumper pack straight to bike cables, wanted to see if it will crank, turn the key to on, I get neutral light, head light, tail light, I hear fuel pump try tp prime, Very low (weak sound then normal). get no speed or mileage info on display,, kick stand is down, maybe some type of safety ? checked all fuses, no broken fuse, I am handy with a fluke meter maybe can give me some starting points
Hello there,,i have a question about my 2009 gsxr 600.one day it just died off me after starting and running the bike for about 20 seconds.after that it was just turning or cranking but not starting the bike.had checked batteries,new sparkplugs,strater fuses ,tip over sensor..clutch,kickstand,and fuel pump working.but still bike wont start..desperate for help pleaseee..thanks.🙂
Hi I have a gsxr1000 k2 tried to start it but when you operate the start button I’ve gives a click click click click very rapidly until you release the start button , I connected to my car battery with jump leads did same thing? Can you help?
Hello looking for some help. Have a 07 750. It keeps blowing that fuse. Changed rectifier, stator, and battery. As soon as I hook up the battery it blows the fuse.
hi I have a Gsxr 1000 k4 special edition I started in the morning to make sure all was working for the mot 3 hours later the lights came on but it would not start in fact the fuel pump you can here prime usually but its not doing that
any advice would be fantastic
Your voice is very reassuring you should do audio books lol
I have a 1990 GSXR 750M track only bike that will not start. I thought I had a problem with the starter relay as it was clicking when I tried to start the bike, so I bought a new one and replaced the old one. Still not starting. Neutral, oil light and dials illuminate with the ignition switch set to ON position. Now, the new starter relay making a buzzing noise instead. I have also put a shorty aftermarket clutch and brake lever, would this affect anything? I fully charged the battery and tried again. Still no luck. I have not tried push starting it yet. Should I try this? Should I change the battery as it was bought in 2011? Do you have any suggestions as to why it will not start? Your help would be most appreciated. Thanks
Could be a bad battery, which is most likely. Otherwise, check for loose or damaged wires. Try bump starting it and see if it fires up.
I have power to one side of the solenoid (thick red cable) but when pressing starter switch it's not jumping from one side of the solenoid to the other terminal, the one that runs to the starter motor bench tested both solenoid and starter motor and they work just fine so what's happening? Full power on battery as well.
I have got no dash coming on when I turn on the ignition just the headlights come on. I have power though even with ignition off to starter relay and both sides of the 30amp fuse. When I jump together neg and pos terminals off the starter relay it turns over even without the ignition on. Should I have power to both sides of relay with ignition off? and should the starter turn over when shorted across with ignition off?
My 07 GSXR 1000 will turn over but won’t start. The fuel pump relay was blown but I replaced it. Any suggestions?
Your explanation a gave me a light! I have an 05 gsxr 750,it was crashed and totally rebuilt, now I'm having problems starting it. Lights,tach,fuel..everything is working. But when I hit the starting button,the relay doesn't even click. What can it be? Thanks a lot !
Ignition wires, damage to the hand controls, damage to wires going to starter relay
I’ve got an ‘06 GSX-R 600 that keeps blowing the 30A fuse and I’m sure it’s an easy fix, I don’t know where to look for to fix the issue though. Absolutely no power goes to it and the battery is good. Could use the help..
Greetings thank you very much for your content, I have a 2017 gsxr1000 I can't get to start after installing a quantum fuel pump I have a C41 code any help would be very appreciated
So hey I got a05 gsxr 600 it throwing a c13 c21 c23 c28 and a c40 it will not start I replaced the ecm how do I go about fixing this issue
Does this information work for a 2008 gsxr 600??
Thanks if you respond
Yes, same concept.
So I’m having the FI light and the code is c42. It’s a 2015 gsxr 600. It won’t crank up and everything is working fine but just woke turn over and crank. What could be the issue. The bike haven’t been rode in a long time
I have low mile from o.g. owner gsxr 1000 ('06) with Zero'd out Power Commander II (still hooked up) and my ECU was flashed w FTECU for megaphone pipe early 2019. Stock air filter and stock Ti header. The bike never did this for 10months after I had ECU flashed. Problem: Intermittently only like 1/6 rides - bike will crank but NOT RUN from cold or warm.....ive waited 30 sec in between 4-5 tries and it might catch and then run no problem. Sometimes Ive cranked 10 times to point where battery gets weak so I give up...today I went home and let the bike sit at work in sun and tried again 11 hrs later. It still did not want to run and I had to crank 5-6 times and luckily it ran perfect lit off no hesitation after cycling key between tries. I cannot tell if its no fuel or no spark. Fuel pump always spins/whines....has left me stranded at work x2 times and I give up cranking it and just just hitch a ride home w coworker. Bike was damp on nighshift 2 of the 3 occasions so I was thinking moisture ingress ...... I can not replicate the problem after it runs. It does this 1/6+ rides to work...she just will not RUN while cranking not even a clue that it wants to catch and run...its all or nothing....she is cranking with no clue it wants to catch or it fires right up. NEW Iridium plugs several weeks ago to address but it is still doing it randomly!! It also did it hot after a 20 min ride in to work I accidentally stalled it at badge readers and it wouldnt restart! 91 octane fuel + new plugs only 13,000 o.g. miles....mods FTECU flash 2019, but still has old 2007 PCII ( in place but zero'd out)
Hi guys, outstanding, well explicit, well presented, easy to understand vocabulary, nice tips, to understand stand, you guys are outstanding, nice of you to share that information with us, must kind of you, keep up to the good work, congratulations.
Thank you so much! I was able to get my bike up and running! It was indeed the fuse and once I put that new one in it started right up :)
Hey patzila im using gsxr 600 2008...
Im getting cide c32 and c33 it says two injectors......
I have inspected the injectors is spraying great i have inspected wire harness is have all same power power but the problem is now bike wont start is trying but not starting.. Fuel pump.fuel pressure.. Plugs throttle is perfect... But bike doesn't start and they others guys says is ground wire so i dont know where is the ground were can you help me out
Hey John, what about if my fuse is okay (measured for continuity), but its still not giving voltage to starter side?
Just found out, my wire's were installed wrong way lol. 😅
What wires exactly were installed the wrong way ?
I’m having this issue. This is what I’ve done so far. Replaced the battery as it was bad. But then my starter relay fuse kept blowing. So, I replaced the starter relay. Still blowing. I’ve been thru about ten 30 amp fuses trying to diagnose the issue. I haven’t checked the clutch wires bc I’m getting no juice whatsoever. I know it has to be something within that battery to starter area. I just can’t figure out what. I’ve checked for exposed or touching wires & found nothing. 😢
Great video, my bike has had this but I replaced the relay, and it starts but after a minute or so it pops the fuse and dies ? Any help please
My name is Hidalgo, I have a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600 with 5,300 miles on it and having trouble with my front left turn signal won’t illuminate when button pressed. When I hit the bottom on left turn signal the rear blinks but fast but does illuminate when button and power is applied.
**Question
07 GSXR 750
About a month and a half ago my throttle pull cable snapped as I was riding, no biggie, replaced it and figured my bike was all good to go. When I go to start it I noticed my fuel fuse was blown and wasn't sure why so I replaced it. Every time I try to start it again the fuel fuse would pop. So I ignorantly put a larger fuse in and finally got it to start. However it was running pretty rough and bogged out till it died.
I then put in its correct fuse and now it won't start. It cranks over but that's all. As far as troubleshooting I change the spark plugs, check the rectifier and that was OK, all other fuses were OK, cleaned the fuel filter, adjusted the TPS sensor, battery is fine.
If I could get some advise I'd appreciate it!
Sounds like there is a short somewhere. Trace the wires off that blown fuse. I expect you'll find a wire or two grounding out.
Hi i have a 04 gsxr750 i change the starter relay at first it was working fine but once again relay dont get power i did check the fuse and the fuse is ok i also check the cluch switch and is good , battery is brand new . I dont know wath else to check please help ....
Thank you for the support,I got a 2005 r1000 I remove gas tank and disconnected all electric parts becouse it had 2 stock valves I didn't that put everything back together now the bike won't start it has spark fuel it turns it would not fires thanks I did crank the motor with everything unplug,,,thanks
Thanks you make great videos. I have an 06 GSXR600. I've had the spark plugs changed, fuel pump changed, all relays checked, the starter switch replaced, new battery and the bike won't turn over. All the lights come on and you here the clicking but it wont turn over.
No power is going to the fuel pump. Could this be the wiring or ECM?
What was the fix
@@sarakianebula2667 It was the ECM
@@staceyw5406 was your fuel pump priming . Mine is... but fairly certain it's ecm
@@sarakianebula2667 Yes it was priming
Hi I'm Daniel I have a 2002 gsxr 1000 she'll start up and I'll drive around for a while even turn it off gi do something come back and she'll start with no problem but she'll stall a at ight starting off and won't start back up again.
When go to start her back up she seems to die like the battery is dead.
I did a battery check and even changed the battery there hold the charge even with a load. Relay clicks. I'm it's the starter that when it get hot it doesn't want to start.
Help, getting that starter out looks like a nightmare..
Thanks Daniel
Hey I’m having the problem of my gsr 750 will start and ride but when I turn it off then try start it again it’ll act asif there’s not enough volts in the battery, batttery showing 12.9 when off
Tengo un suzuki gsxr 1000 2006 estaba andando y cuando la apague no encendio mas, tiene corriente y llega combustible , gira el motor pero no enciende , sera algun sensor?
On my 09 V-strom dL 650 the starter solenoid is clicking several times when I press the starter switch, but bike won’t crank or it won’t start at all, replaced the battery and starter solenoid it self and it keeping doing the same thing, just checked all the step on your great video and they look the be getting good power and ground, but I can’t figure it out 😕, any suggestions? Besides than get you a new bike lol
If it's clicking, then you don't have enough power. Check your wires and connections. You'd be amazed how many times it's that simple.
Partzilla yes! You completely right, After I checked everything absolutely everything else like battery, starter solenoid, starter switch, kick stand switch, clutch sensor, starter assembly by it self, I was able to find out than the screw holding the negative wire from the battery was sulfated all around the tread with absolutely no sign of rust or any damage on the outside, the washer and ring by it self was looking so clean and healthy, so I removed it to check the connection and I figured it out than the screw was all white on the treads, I cleaned this out real good, sanded off a little bit and the bike started up right away with no issues 🤙🏻
Hello really like the videos you guys have posted on suzuki gsxr 1000 I wanted to know till much kM can I buy a used one safety
Guys I have a question. I know noting about motorcycles oy that my brother is not Turing on. While trying to help him out at one point bike lost all power to lights , does the starter silanoyd also controll the lights to bike
What does it mean if the test light doesn’t light up when you touch the light on the starter relay and hit the start button?
I have a 2001 Gsxr recently had a bad stator and I fried some wires, so I replaced the stator and regulator put in new spark plugs oil change new battery, and can’t get her to turn over just turns over lights on my dash go off and won’t start, I’ve been reading it could be my ECU or sometimes the ignition switch goes out, any ideas before a spend another 100 bucks on a ECU, thank you
I would continue checking your wires first. Could be a short. Everything turning off means a complete loss of power when you make that connection.
I have a 2007 gsxr600 and replace the hole fuel pump at first it worked but after 2 days the fuel pump is not priming,
My bike has a 3 prong toggle switch. Lost keys. Wiring came out of toggle switch. When I connected it went completely dead... wired back wrong??? How do I re wire???
So do both sides suppose to have fire going to them cuz wen I turn my key I don’t get nun at all
Question my 01 gsxr fuel pump only primes when I boost the battery to 24v. This started when I broke my key in my switch and replaced it with a cheap ignition switch. Can a bad diode in the switch cause the pump not to prime?
If the problem started with the new switch, then it is most likely the problem. Going cheap can sometimes be more expensive.
If bike was dropped do i need to reset tip over switch ?
Just to confirm. When testing the starter replay. You had the negative cable disconnected. I hear the click when I hit the start button but my negative and positive are connected. Is it supposed to start when I test the starter solinod with the negative and positive cables connected.
Yes. Either your relay is bad or you don't have enough juice to turn over the starter

hi your videos are very helpful to me thank you, I have a question if you can please help me. my 2007 susuki drains the battery in a few cranks, ( new battery ) even if I jump start with my car battery ( not runing ) it acts as it drained too. I appreciate any ideas. thank you
Load test the battery.
John!!! You are the fuggin man! Shout out to your team. This is a great video, please produce more!
Have a question for you. I have a Kawazaki ninja 250 2007. The bike doesn’t start, I jumped started and it worked, went for a spin down the street, but the next day didn’t work again. I thought it was the battery so I replaced it. But still doesn’t show anything in the dashboard, i checked the fuses and they look ok. I have a tool to jumpstart motorcycles or cars and when i connect that to the battery it shows the lights in dashboard, but if i take that off the battery it shows nothing... any idea?
Have you checked all the connections for corrosion and make sure they are tight? What you are describing still sounds like a battery problem.
I did, it doesn’t jump start anymore, if i connect the jump starter it only shows the check oil light.
Thanks for the information you have shared I appreciate it,it really did help me out ...
A bad Rectifier was the problem on my 07 1000. Turned the key on and nothing.
Hi sir im jerson i have problem with my gsxr 1000 2008 model the secondary injection doest not function.
I have a question. I have a 07 gsxr 1000. When I try to start the bike I just get a click a single click sound come from the starter. I have replaced the starter solenoid brand new, I've tested the clutch switch. Can anyone help. Wondering if the engine is froze up. I put the bike into 6th gear and tried to spin the rear tire and it will not
Bike's probably embarrassed of the hideous seat covers it was equipped with, that's why it wouldn't start.
Great video. This video helped , but what is the possible problem if your test light doesn't light up on the last relay check of the ground side at te Videos 4:09 min part. ?
It means you aren't getting power from the switch. Bad wires, bad switch, etc.
Thanks for the help Partzilla. Your videos are a great help and they helped me get more familiar with my bike and at least narrow things down.
👍
Hello again Partzilla,
I do appreciate your videos. 👍 So.. I ended up taking my "no starting 07 GSXR1000 to the shop to get another set of eyes on it. And They tell me number 9 ecm pin melted. My ? Is.. What types of things may cause this and if i put another ecm in.. how do i know the new ecm won't just melt down too?
The RPM gauge on My gsxr 1000 L1 (2011) dont work. What could be the problem? Wiring? fuse, or a sensor? Just the RPM. Shout out from sweden 🙌😃
Hello everyone.
I have a starting problem on my gsxr 1000 k5. Everything lights up starter is cranking but the engine wont start. When turning the kill switch on i can't hear the pump working like it should... Just turning the kill switch on and nothing happens... Like i have the side stand opened but the problem is that the side stand is closed and the side stand switch is working properly. And the CHEC code is on my display. Not FI code.. Just the CHEC. It might be the relay problem but i dont know i haven't checked it yet.

My k8 1000 gsxr switches of when I gear down and release the clutch loolink for advice please
was diagnosing a quad that was left to me has a 2006 gsx-r1000 and when i hit the start button my starter make a loud click sound and has a hard time cranking over does this mean my starter motor is on its last legs? and the starter rely part really helped me about the fuse because i couldnt find the dang thing on the quad until i found it hiding way under where it should not be so i relocated it as well while i was there. as well when you buy the starter motor will it come built i saw your link but im not sure if i feel comfortable putting it together myself i dont wanna drop any parts any advice?
I would health check the battery and test all the way to the starter. If you need a starter, they come assembled.
Ok thank you so much!! I will get back to you and check everything along the way
mine has been starting and then not starting off and on for a month now, when I turn the handle bars it tends to start, been trouble shooting and still can’t figure it out
changed the starter relay, starter, stator, and rectifier, and still will not cut on. the lights and everything else works fine. everytime I try to start it I just hear clicking in the starter relay solenoid.
I have an 07 Busa. The lights come on, but the instrument panel doesn't cycle through. The tachometer rests at 4k RPM on and off. The odometer and clock doesn't come on. I have a new battery installed. It also will not start with a jump. What troubleshooting steps do I take next?
@nineball26 thank you, I'll look into this
