what he said. If you have a voltmeter and know how to read it it can help a ton. (usually the solenoids are under the seat at least it is on my tl and similar year gsxrs.)

PULL THE CONNECTOR OFF THE CLUTCH SAFETY SWITCH AND JUMP IT WITH A PIECE OF WIRE...quick before you do anything else, try it. Suzuki motorcycles will not start in any gear position without the clutch safety switch engaged, trust me.

That's a very good possibility & definitely the next thing to check - good thinkin'!

I'm used to my Hondas which will start in N whether the clutch is pulled or not. She said the pump was priming, so in my mind I ruled-out the kickstand, tip-over, and clutch switch - but you're right, the pump will still prime w/ the clutch out (or the switch defective), just not engage the starter.

Rae, the switch Tigger's talking about is at the bottom of the clutch mount - you should see two wires & the connectors which plug into the switch looking down from above the tank. You can pull those connectors off, and use a small piece of wire to 'jumper' between them.

Don't say I don't love you, Rae!

Here's the spot.

Take an allen wrench and loosen your clutch lever mount.

Call NASA and have them send you this "specialty tool" or make one yourself, I guess....
