Will not start! 2001 Suzuki Bandit 600cc

[nobfelt2]

Hi,

My bike wont start, am gutted!!!

The ignition comes on, the neutral and oil lights come on, but the started wont turn.

I have checked the engine kill switch, it's in neutral, the battery is good and the fuses are ok.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks, any advice is appreciated!

If it will bump start then the starter motor is probably knackered but check the battery to make sure there is enough of a charge, you can use jump leads from a car for this but briefly, don't leave them on for ages if nothing's happenning. If it won't jump then the starter motor and the plugs are knackered. Bandit plugs are tempermental, take on out if it's wet then get new ones.

Have you by passed the starter switch to see if thats faulty?, or even take the starter off and try it from a battery.

Also check the sidestand switch is not faulty.

As Roger said you could have forgot to lift the sidestand or it,s faulty.
