Motorcycle Repair: 1994 Suzuki intruder electrical problems, suzuki intruder 800, 1994 suzuki intruder 800

Question
I have a 1994 Suzuki intruder 800. I have been having an electrical problem. When I go to start the bike as soon as i hit the starter there is a clicking noise coming from the left lower side of the bike, and all power just shuts off completely. It will not turn back on after that. I have already replaced the ignition system and am still having the same problem. I can literally shake the bike and the power will switch on sometimes, but this time its really dead.

The guys at the shop said it could be the solenoid which has been on there since i bought it. I ordered a new one and am going to try replacing it and seeing what happens. This bike is my only transportation, which has always been fun but its a real hassle right now. Thanks - Forest Ayers

Answer
Forest,

it sounds like your circuit breaker is faulty.
-A red wire goes to it on one side, that is the
battery power. On it's other side is a red/white
wire which leads back to your fuse panel.

-That circuit breaker is probably what is
making the clicking sound.

-Check around behind the fuse panel
for a little box with a red and red/white
wire coming out. It might have a red reset
button on it.
Reset or replace it and then make sure
your fuses are still okay as well.

-always make sure the battery cables are tight
on these bikes, they tend to loosen and
cause weird problems.
-make sure your battery is charged up
and it may still need the new solenoid
if it kicks the breaker when starting.
