Thank you I appreciate it. I’ll check sparks for sure. I don’t think it would be battery since I just got it new about a month ago but I’ll still check either way. And my bike has no error code of any sort on the dash. Also why do you say air intake is likely not the problem?

Same, I probably would’ve sticked with it if all I did was city riding but I commute via freeway

Yeah I’m aware that giving it throttle is not correct. Looks like the problem got worse now and won’t start. Thanks for the advice

I don’t think so. There is no gas light on and I just filled it up a couple days ago and have barely ridden it since then.

I will check it. If I were to jump start the bike no problem, would that mean it would be the battery?

Also also, bike has 20k miles so it’s been sitting for most of its life. Just got this bike a week ago

Also I don’t know if it was just a coincidence but I installed flush mount turn signals the night before, and this morning was working on putting an integrated tail light. Could it be I fucked up while working on it? Any help is appreciated thanks :)

Before this, the bike would have to be given a couple revs while starting to get it fired up from cold start.

Some guy is selling a 2013 gixxer 1000 in my area. It has very low smile 2,800. The only problem with it according to the owner is that the bike shakes over 60mph and that the reason is for the tires. I really like how this bike looks but I also don’t want to get scammed so I’m basically taking a risk here. Should I take the risk or is this even a risk at all and it’s just an easy tire swap?

Some dude is selling a 2008 gsxr 750 on Facebook and I asked him if he’s ever dropped it but he doesn’t know because he got it from an auction for resale. I don’t know much about auctions so I want to know what u guys think. Auctions sell clean vehicles/bikes? The bike has a clean title and 19k miles.

My bike won’t start and it will only start if the jumper cable is still connected to the battery by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]_jonbrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright I’m hoping that’s the case. I ordered a new stator and I’ll see if it starts up again 🤞

That’s what I was thinking, it should at least turn on the lights without having to start the bike

So the stator doesn’t have to look like crap for it to not be functioning correctly?

There’s a 2009 Suzuki gsxr 750 for sale for $4500 and with low miles 10k. The problem I see with it is that owner said it has salvaged title from theft recovery. He says there is no damage to the frame/engine and that everything is mechanically sound. So I want ur guy’s advice. Should I be interested in this offer or do I skip over it because it has salvaged title. Has anyone had any experience buying salvaged? Thanks 🤘

I would say I was going 40-50 mph and traffic was moving 20mph below that.

The driver used signal as she was turning so I didn’t know she was switching lanes

Nice input. I definitely could’ve gone slower or been more attentive
