I have a k5 2005. u will have to remove the tank, and either take it fully off or when u change the front one then u can move the tank forward and make sure it is supported. the petrol feed union sticks out from the bottom of the tank so be very very careful not to damage it. the tank is removed by taking the bolt from the bottom of the tank which is just under the seat, then the tank should be tugged carefully to the rear. it sits on two rubber bushes at ttop which u have to slide the tank over when putting it back.
hope this helps.

Hi, did you check the valves?

Possibly water condensation on the electrics?
Dry it out and try again.

There is an overflow tube attached to the coolant reservoir. Perhaps you are smelling some of the expansion from the overflow tube?

The oil light will come on until the bike starts.
Remove the air filter and spray a short shot of starter fluid into the intake.
Replace the filter and see if the bike will start.

The battery is located under the drivers seat.

Remove the rear seat, then remove the driver's seat to access the battery.

The gas is probably bad after months of sitting.
Ideally, you would drain your tank and replace with good gas f you can.
New gas or not, purchase a can of "Seafoam" and add it to your tank...it will help clean out your fuel system.
Worst case scenario, you will need to clean your carburetor if everything above doesn;t work.

Check your local listings for a Suzuki Motorcycle Dealer close to you.

Alternatively, you can purchase it online on eBay or other web store.

The battery is under the drivers seat.

Remove the rear passenger seat, then the front drivers seat to access the battery.

The air filter in under the football-shaped chome cover on the right side of the bike.Remopve the two screws holding it on to remove the cover. Remove the filter and inspect it. Replace if dirty.I have a complete How To on changing your coolant here:http://www.ednelson.us/blog/?p=763

Have you had your front wheel off at any time?

What usually happens is the magnetic spped sensor at the front whenn was not lined up properly when the wheel was replace and it broke. A very common occurrence.

change oil put a oil pan under bottom of ckankcase you will see drain plug , remove oil filter and replace, use high quality filter. put
filter on , tighten oil drain plug . take of side cover on left side with
allen wrench . you will see fill plug . always put exact amount
oil . change sark plugs a little more of a challenge . you have
to take what looks like gas tank covers off and dash board . you
will see 2 crome side covers one on each side . right front left side
rear . behind those covers are spark plugs . reverse everything when you put back and your done.

the coolant resivoir bottle is located behind the rear engine cover on the kick stand side

Mine has the same fault. The ignition sensor leaks to earth when it is hot so engine cuts out. I've had two sensors fitted. But They still leak to earth. Trying to get Suzuki to sort, permanently.
