Do you know where it is located?
Have you had issues with it, as in dead and let to freeze, acid spilled out onto the bike from being frozen or overcharged etc?
If so mix up some baking soda and water and pour over connections and frame then wash off bike before swapping battery.
Take off negative first and put back on last, just like with a car battery.
If wet cell, fill to proper level and charge first on 1A or smaller charger for a day... If GSM or Gel, install and ride.

You need to have stator coil tested.
An alternate problem could be the regulator/rectifier.
Both of these should tbe checked by a dealer

SOURCE: dont want to start sum times fire right up next time wont start ?
b sure u have good spark 2 all 4 plugs, if not, check 4 weak ground ign. sys.-check p.up coil-
SOURCE: I have a Suzuki gs 550 1980 sometimes I don't have
with electrics start at one point and eliminate each possible cause ie; is the kill switch corroded inside the switchgear due to water ingression, when did you last change the plugs.is your coil working correct.is there a loose/damaged connection in the ignition system wiring, a bad earth perhaps.is there dirt on your electronic ignition pick up or if you have points do they need cleaning/replacing condensers need replacment from time to time. you may have a damaged ecu if you have electronic ignition.. hope this helps

the jetting/ jets are fittings inside of the carburators that allow onlky a certian amount of fuel to burn so the motorcycle does not flood itself out by having to much or to little fuel
SOURCE: i have a 1980 suzuki 850 gs and its not charging
As suggested, check the voltage with the engine running accross the battery. If its below 14 volts you have an issue with the stator windings/regulator/rectifier/wiring.
Do the cheapest thing first and clean up all electrical connections, esp the earths.
A manual will tell you how to test the charging system, but the Suzuki GS range has always had charging issues.
The simplist method is to fit the combined reg/rectifier unit from a Honda CB250/400 Superdream.
Always keep your engine oil topped to the max mark, as this cools the stator.
Dont leave this, it is not unknown for the entire system to fail including the CDI if left unchecked.
