Hi, I'm new here. I have problem with my Suzuki GSX1100G where it takes many many time to start the engine. I don't know what the problem. I sent my bike to workshop and changed a few parts. For the first 1 week, everything was ok. 1 week after, the problem remain.

And one more thing, How I could get free Service Manual for Suzuki GSX1100G for download? I saw many service manual at this thread https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=41567 but I cannot see mine. I hope you can help. TQ

Assuming it runs fine once is HAS started, then the most likely culprit would be the choke mechanism. Lots of other things can cause starting problems...carb air leaks...blocked pilot jets...ignition problems...dying battery....battery not charging...all sorts of things!

What did you change already?

I had an old 1100 Yam that would either start first press..or not at all! The effort of turning over the motor was all the battery could handle. Worn out batteries won't hold enough charge to light the motor up.
