My Suzkuki Intruder 1500LC 2001 doesn't start sometimes just clicks and whirrs Sometimes if I rock it it starts up again but this doesn't work today and now I'm late for work What can you do?

Answer 1

I HAVE A 2000 1500 AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT.WHEN MINE WONT CRANK I HOOK THE BATTERY CHARGER UP AND CHARGE THE BATTERY A LITTLE AND IT WILL CRANK.BUT IF I AM NO WHERE THSAT I CANT DO THIS I PUT IT IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR AND ROCKED IT BACK UNTIL THE STARTER MOVES QUITE A BIT THIS MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS BIKE A FEW OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.THE GUY THART HAD THIS BIKE BEFORE ME HAD THIS STARTER REBUILT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO.DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ON HOW TO REMOVE THE STARTER IT LOOKS SIMPLE DO YOU HAVE TO DROP THE FRONT EXHAUST I THINK SO NOT SURE ANY IDEAS YOU COME UP WITH LET ME KNOW AND I WILL DO THE SAME.
