Dust and debris can build up in the electrical components on your handlebar and prevent electrical communication when a button or switch is pressed. Take apart your electrical components attached to you clutch and clean the copper plates which need to touch each other when you pull in the clutch. Take apart cutoff switch w/ start button and clean all the electrical parts. I learned this lesson the hard way on my 1998 Suzuki intruder 1500.
Turn key on position Oil light neutral on Check your safety switches clutch kick stand you might have bypass clutch safety switch kickstand safety switches but becareful make sure you are outer gear in neutral green light it might start up and take off I gotta fix mine fuel filter
Yes, bridging it did make the bike start, but nothing happens with the starting switch.. And now bridging it just makes the engine crank but not start.
did you make sure it's in neutral I know it might sound silly but sometimes it's the silly things that get you I left mine in first before and didn't realize it and thought they were some problem it soon realized I had in first and put it in neutral started right up
I'm about to change out the starter solenoid relay on my 97 Intruder 800 damn thing is doing the same thing smh hopefully it works I seen another video of a guy wiring the relay wires together and it worked for him but I'm going to replace the part it's self because it's only 6 bucks on ebay.
I own a Suzuki Marauder vz 800 motorcycle, year 1998, 25,000 km. When I drive at 120 km/h, the coolant light comes on. Can you help me, what do you think the problem is?
there could be multiple issues with it not starting im having similar issue and whenever it doesn't crank thats could be because for some reason the electrons are being blocked somehow from going to the starter. i checked all my connections there are few components that control the starting theres the starter relay, theres ignition switch, ignition fuse, main module and bank angle sensor. also lot of times the battery goes bad and if you check its volts after charging it will display normal 12.7v or 13.9 but it won't have the current(amps) needed to turn the starter. so it will turn lights on horn will work but won't crank. most probably i think its two things that could be causing it on mine one is bank angle sensor which senses an extreme angle or falling bike and cuts off the power. Under the tank the wires sometimes rubs and causes shorts or broken insulation could be one of reason. and since the previous owner of my bike let the bike out stand in rain so corrosion could be also an issue as sometime wen i flip the the ignition switch from park 'P' to 'on' and then press start botton its cranks and starts. so im gonna take ignition swtich out and look for corrosion in it. as well as inspect bank angle sensor. as i have checked all the relays and fuses and they are receiving the battery power but its just not being delieverd to starter.
I honestly just turn the key on like if I was going to start it when I did this I would go into 1st push it like tryna push start then let go of the clutch won't start but somehow it will start up after I tried the button again if u still have the bike u should try this
Does your lights come on or anything? I have some problem with mine where nothing comes on but it isn't the battery. I was riding it home after buying it and stopped to get gas. Went back to crank it after getting the gas and it wouldn't start. Light wouldn't come on, horn won't work, etc. I have no idea what to do. I can't believe I didn't even get to ride it all the way home.
David Hitchcock Yes, everything electrical works normally.. It sounds like you make have a fuse issue.. Check your fuses. Dad always told me to check the simple things before worrying about bigger issues. I hope this helps!
My bike os doing the same thing but ots a 98. But if i put it in gear and pushing it back and forth putting it back in neutral and usually makes the button work it's weird it works when it wants to
xD Cx bothbof those are a pretty easy DIY. The fender is fiberglass so you can cut, sand, paint pretty easily. The bobber seat is even easier and easy to find on eBay.
I've checked and tested on off switch key switch starter switch all is fine turn key on all my blinkers all my lights work fine starter button will not send a signal to the solenoid mmm relay is bypassed I can bypass solenoid to make work but bike will not fire starter button doesn't work and it will not fire what do you think it is please help
@@deebobo84 I got a marauder to restore that has the same issue. Lights come on but the starter doesnt do anything. Doesnt even click. It takes me 2 months to do a complete restore in my spare time but I will post my findings.
@@deebobo84 Hey brother, getting back to you with a update on what I found. I will start with a history what what I was dealing with. The 1998 bike I purchased was missing the Starter Relay and the MMM module. They had cut the MMM plug off and twisted 2 wires together. The only thing bi-passing the MMM does is increase the current flow to the starter relay coil. After installing a battery, starter relay and MMM the starter relay still would not engage to crank the starter motor. I started by taking apart the clutch switch, ignition switch and kill switch to clean and buff the contactors and reinstalled them. I was getting more current flow but it did not resolve the issue. I then tested the kickstand switch and V634100130 diode and cleaned and reinstalled them. Still no crank. I drew a complete wiring diagram and tested every wire and all was good. After studying my diagram I was lead to a 38610-03F01 Signal relay that was bad. $12 fix but it took me 12 hours to find it. My electrical engineering degree saved me again. Never would I have guessed the turn signal relay would have a ignition relay in it to. If it takes a crap again I will isolate the ignition relay with a 30 amp relay. The bike restore is down to installing the new rear wheel, paint work and reassembly. For $3800 I will have a like new bike totally dressed out with only 9k miles. Triple headlamps, Windshield, saddle bags, back rest, crash bar, new wheels, new mirrors, bib, custom paint and on and on. Best wishes
No it still wont turn.. thank you for the idea though..when I put a strait wire to the starter solenoid terminals it starts right up. But I need the switch to work haha.
Darby319 I ended up just making using a screw driver in the same manner as the wire! Not the safest, but at least I get to still ride. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help
I have a 2002 marauder.
I have the same problem
I checked the battery and starter motor, regulator and solved this problem.
Good luck!!

Same issue with mine manual says to check the safety interlocks most can be bypassed
Ckeck wire harness near the kickstand for arc to ground.
Check out the MMM Module removal videos. There's plenty online. Have you tried starting the bike by bridging the starter solenoid with a screwdriver?
Yes, bridging it did make the bike start, but nothing happens with the starting switch.. And now bridging it just makes the engine crank but not start.

My light is not turning on with jump box hooked up and does run with it off where would that fuse be located?
i changed that switch and mine started up and has been great ever since. dont use a jump wire connect wires direct

did you ever figure it out?
Switch or starter solenoid
Checked side stand switch ?

On mine it was the ignition just turn the key back a hair an try or tap on it or did you already find the problem

Yeah I have checked the fuses and none look blown, so I guess I'm just going to have to try replacing every one.
I’m having this exact issue. Did you figure out what the issue was??
My bike os doing the same thing but ots a 98. But if i put it in gear and pushing it back and forth putting it back in neutral and usually makes the button work it's weird it works when it wants to
you found the problem, my Marauder does as you described !!!
if you solved it please tell me too, please !!!
Was problem ever diagnosed?
And the kickstand switch
Your bypass is on the other side where the solenoid is
Any links for bobber seats and back fender?
xD Cx bothbof those are a pretty easy DIY. The fender is fiberglass so you can cut, sand, paint pretty easily. The bobber seat is even easier and easy to find on eBay.
@@deebobo84 you can't powder coat fiberglass though

Que fue el problema amigo
Did you find the issue?
Never, so I sold the bike. The bike started up easily when I bi-passed the relay and the buyer said he loves working on confusing electrical issues.

@@KD8EGV Hello! Do you have the complete wiring diagram you mentioned? Would it be possible to send it please?
@@michalreha1836 I think I do have the one I drew out in the saddle bags. I will look when I get out in the barn
Battery dead too? I took mmm off and yeah
Me puedes decir como lo hiciste tengo el mismo problema
Also bypass the key switch'
fuel or fire bud
No it still wont turn.. thank you for the idea though..when I put a strait wire to the starter solenoid terminals it starts right up. But I need the switch to work haha.
I have this same issue how did you put a straight wire to the solenoid connect ... did you ever figure this problem out
Darby319 I ended up just making using a screw driver in the same manner as the wire! Not the safest, but at least I get to still ride. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help
I have the same problem!!
It's the relay connected to the fuse box. Just had the same exact problem with my bike. Number on the relay should be. FE249JR
Check your solenoid
Main fuse
Hello
I had an identical problem on my marauder VZ800 from 1997, the solution was to replace the starter motor !!
Eather blown fuse or pull cluch in when starting make shure not in natural
Starter solenoid I had the same problem
A blown fuse
