Motorcycle Repair: Suzuki Intruder Electrical Problem, suzuki intruder, magnetic switch


Question
I Have an 1994 vs1400 Suzuki Intruder. I have changed stator, rectifier and battery. Now all I get is a click. The motorcycle will not turn over. I checked fuses and ground and all seems fine. I don't know what else to check. I've checked all of the connections and all seems fine.

Answer
Dave,If you have a test light check the start solenoid to see if you have power going into the terminal on the magnetic switch unit. Now check the terminal that has a cable to the starter. Put the light on the terminal and turn key on and push the start button. You should hear a light click and the light should illuminate.If it does then the starter is bad. If it doesnt the the solenoid is not working either it is defective or the start switch on the handlebar is not working.
