check oil breather pipe in airbox

you will need a factory service manual from suzuki. should be around 75 bucks at the suzuki dealer

try rerouting the throttle cable, could be making it jam up if it has a tight bend, if not this, then check your inside throttle cable, sounds like it might have a couple of broken wires and they are jamming inside the outer cable, or the outer cable could be bent.

Sounds very much like the battery will not take a full charge and will need to be replaced. Check the voltage after charging and then again after use. A bike shop should be able to test it for you if you have not got access to a volt meter.

amp meter across the fuse connections to check the amp load

sounds like your battery is not charging wich leads to your alternator/stator plate simple test is fully charge the battery start your bike then with a multi-meter check the voltage accross the + and - terminals if it is getting current it should read about 14,2 volts if your getting just 12 volts then thats your problem...check all terminals connecting stator ie wd 40 them and reconnect them and test again if all else works then a replacement stator :)

moved you from cars to bandit motorcycles. bad fuel is my guess. (oh so common on MC) or needs spark plugs. new.

sounds like a sticking float valve flooding in from carb

Ok I have one of these.They are not water cooled so it's not steam from a leaky head gasket,it would by be oil unless it's bluey coloured smoke.if it was too rich ie choke stuck on or blocked air filter you would have black smoke.so I would say it's one of two things.you have either put some diesel in it as that smokes grey and fouls the plugs making it misfire and cut out or the small drain hole in the left hand side of the fuel filler cap well has blocked up and you do have water in the fuel.drain the carbs via the drain screws on the bottom of the float bowls and catch it in something,if there is water in it it looks like jelly in the petrol.Ok good luck ps that's a man's bike.;0)

Yes because they are only there to counterbalance the weight of the piston and diaphragm.
