Had the bike for just over a year, I'm the second owner. It's only done 24,000km. It's serviced every 6000km. The battery seems ok driving lights are on, horn is still loud, But it won't even turn crank over. All I get is a Click Click when the ignition button is depressed.
Pls advice
Thanks for up date great to hear you got it sorted may The Lord Bless you too.Thanks for up date great to hear you got it sorted may The Lord Bless you too.

Hi Thomas put the bike in a high gear and turn the back wheel to make sure the motor is turning over. If it is try booster cables. If that don't work follow the plus cable to the starter solonide and cross the two heavy cables with a screwdriver if the starter is still not working you will need a starter. Regards Jim...
Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice Jim, I'll try that in the morning. Will let you know of the outcome. Once again thank you for your reply, and GOD bless you."
Morning Jim, just letting you know of the results I found out about why my bike would not start. Did exactly like you mentioned and it still didn't crank over. So I asked my son to check on the electronic side of things, it came down to the starter relay that's faulty. But thank you again for sharing your ideas with me. God Bless and have a great day.Morning Jim, just letting you know of the results I found out about why my bike would not start. Did exactly like you mentioned and it still didn't crank over.

Sounds like starter motor has jammed. Try putting bike in first gear with no keys in the ignition.gently push bike back and forward a couple of times if you hear a light clunk noise that would be starter I jamming itself.try start the bike the normAl way.

by conversion 6000 miles equals 9656 klms
, 6000 klms equals 3728 miles
in reality you are changing the oil midway between recommended services for the same bike over seas. It is a good idea as it keeps the additives in the oil fresh and I would think that it would b not be particularly harmful if you went 1000 klm over what you change the oil at
Bearing in mind that the oil life relies on engine load , speed , weather conditions ,viscosity and quality of oil in use
Might be best if you have a chat with an accredited bike shop that services Suzuki bikes and take note of what they recommend
it comes down to this ---oil is a cheap mechanic in preventative maintenance
You will have to get it certified by the correct authorities and as far as I know this can cost around 900 Euro\'s. Germany is cheaper at 400 Euro so you could get it done in Germany and bring it to France. The French are one of the strictest in this and a pain. Everything from the invoice to COC is checked. Make sure milage is over 6000Km or bike will be treated as new and taxes will apply.
Every 6000km/3500mile or every year. It's best to change oil and oil filter at the start of every driving season if the bike was longer than 2 months sitting regardless of milage. Drive safe. Hope I helped!
i know this sounds silly ,but when you bought the battery had it been activated,new batterys are critical in their first charge and you cannot use a standare type automotve charger,if bought dry the battery needs to have the acid filled ,left to sit for at least 2 hours prior to charging,once it has sat for the 2 hrs with the acid in,the new battery will need to be charged with a "cteck"or similar type charger for at least 13 hrs before it can be put into normal service,what happened with yours i think is that sure you gave it a charge but it has only recieved a "surface charge"and will be usable for a very short time,it may recover for a brief period and go again untill the surface charge dissipates,(or in other words ..runs out of charge)best thing you can do with the battery is take it to a auto electrician and have the battery cycled and conditioned,this is not expensive to do and will give you piece of mind,after conditioning the battery shouldngive excellent service,i have the battery in my goldwing coditioned about every 12 months and i have the same battery that was in the bike when i bought the bike 8 years ago and still no electrical or battery problems(costs about $25 to get it done)once a year but that beats $280 for a new one...hope this helps
Thanks for up date great to hear you got it sorted may The Lord Bless you too.
