2001 Suzuki GSXR 600 starting trouble.

My battery would run dead after a 20 mile ride. So, I replaced the Rectifier and battery. They are brand new and tried to ride bike again. After new parts it started great and again, rode about 20 miles, cut it off and would not start. Can anyone let me know what it could possibly be now? Maybe the Stator? Wires look good.

The stator is probably it..I had the same problem...After you change it the bike will run so much better. That's why it ran good with the new battery...Then it started draining it..It takes a special tool to get it out..

SOURCE: suzuki gsxr 600 06 starting problems

200° is quite warm...
If the engine wont turn over, probabily you have a bad battery, a bad starter or a bad starter relay, or bad connections.

A hot engine has more compression. If the full battery power doesn't reach the starter it won't turn over...

SOURCE: bike runs but when i try to start it the battery is dead

Do a voltage test at the battery to see how it is charging, it sounds like it is not... You should charge at 14.5 volts. Start the bike with the voltmeter connected and see what it does for voltage drop and see how it recovers after it is started. If it doesn't come up in voltage possible regulator rectifier or worse case bad stator.

SOURCE: Faulty regulator rectifier- can't start the bike

I have a '07 C90T.
I have just replaced my stator. I replaced the reg/rectifier earlier this year. I replaced the battery one year ago in October.

I firmly believe what started the problem. Two guys that I told I didn't need help, but they pressured me to let them help. They hooked a battery backwards to my bike. A lot of people believe that's what shortened the life of the rectifier and stator.

But keep this in mind. The connections for the regulator/rectifier are not waterproof. I had done a lot of rainy riding and I first found a burnt connector on the discharge side of the reg/rect. My mechanic told me I needed to replace the reg/rect so I did but I soldered the wires and made them waterproof. I didn't do this on the stator side of the reg/rect and a few months later, when the bike quit charging again, I found that connector burnt, so I cut it out and soldered and waterproofed it.

Two days after we got back from a 700 mile round trip to Red River, NM, my bike quit charging again. This time though, I have a voltage meter on the bike, so I was aware of the problem before the bike could strand me someplace. Get one of those btw.
When I checked the old stator after I replaced it, I found the stator good but the pulse signal generator bad. It's required that you replace both btw. You have to, they are joined at the grommet.

Ok well, the battery cost $60 last year and I replaced it myself.
The reg/rect cost $140 through my mechanic and I replaced it myself.
Got the stator online for $173 shipped and they advertise a better stator that puts out 20% more power.
Not counting little things like solder, tape, heatshrink and such, I'm out a little less than $375 on my charging system.
I hope it's a done deal.
Again, some think the problems began when the battery was hooked up wrong, but I lean to believe the sub-standard Suzuki connections may have a hand in this.
Hope this helps. . . Joe

1999 GXSR 600 will not run in cold

you need to replace the air temperature sensor. looks like this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GSXR-TL-SV-AN-600-750-1000-Air-Temperature-Sensor-1996-2009-13650-61B00-/182447458716?hash=item2a7ab7499c:g:-rYAAOSwopRYmblq

I have a 2001 Suzuki GSXR 600. It suddenly lost power while I was riding. I put a new battery in but after about 20 miles lights started going dim. Had someone tell me it is my alternator. Where is it at...

Bikes don't actually have alternators. The charging system on a bike has a generator and a regulator/rectifier. The generator might cost you a little bit but the regulator/rectifier won't cost a lot. Chances are one of those went bad which creates a large power draw and doesn't allow your battery to charge. Seems like it's a regular occurance with the K1's. I would suggest getting a repair manual and fixing it yourself. Might take you a day or two but it'll save you a lot in labor.

Went to put gsxr 600 k7 away and stalled it then had no power not even lights

Sounds like your battery has become disconnected or is damaged (dead) or isn't charging from the bike.
Try putting a charger on the battery overnight and see if you have lights in the morning.
If you do, then measure the voltage at the battery before and after starting the bike.
If the voltage is the same or less after starting, then there's something wrong in the charging circuit.
This could be a regulator, or rectifier etc.
If the voltage DID go up after starting, then it may be time to replace the battery.

My 2008 gsxr 600 that i bought 2 days ago is running off of battery only not recharging while running. bike shuts down when battery is dead can push start but soon dies again also shows SD on the display...

Its nothing to do with the damper
The battery may not be accepting charge due to its age or condition (although as u can bump it soon after it sounds ok). Check this out with a charger & meter
There may be a bad or dirty connection somewhere between the alternator & regulator/rectifier or from there to the battery
It could also be a defective alternator winding or regulator/rectifier unit
