This has happend to me twice in the last 3 months. First time on a 3 hour ride and when I got into traffic, stop and go the bike just stalled. would not restart. waited about 15 minutes and then the bike starts. The bike ran fine, but I did not feel safe until I found out something. Thought maybe something with the fuel pump, so I changed the relay and the pump and bike ran fine.
Just got home tonight and went for a 15 minute put in stop and go traffic. same thing happend. bike dies and would not restart just cranks over. waited about 15 minutes and it starts again. Need help fast!

Forgot, no screens in the fuel pump or injectors. Again, this is a different pump from the first time it happend. The temp. was right in the middle and the fan was on and off.

If your temp guage is pointing to hot and you have a CHEC on the screen, read my post under 'HELP' "hot start problem". Your wiring loom might have a hole in it, and is moving around causing an earth. If not that, sorry, my only real problem to date.

Thanks, was just reading your post. I have 2 busas right now and they both get that reading with the temp gauge.

Sorry, don't really have anything to add, just thought that was funny. I've never heard it put that way before.

Don't stress if you don't get many responses tonight, after all, it's already past midnight on the East Coast.

During those 15 minutes when all it will do is turn over, do you hear the fuel pump kicking in when you 1st turn the key to 'on' position?

yes, I can here the pump.

I know what it is been there before and suzuki can't tell you neither.It's a ground fault coming from your comp.We went though the same problem,it will get worse...It's just like someone just cuts the switch off and it want start back till around 15 to 20 min.Even though you think you hear your fuel pump take you a small piece of wire with you and as soon as it does it unplug the rela and jump it.(straight wire)I'll tell you how to fix it tomorrow just try what im telling you.Got to look at myne it's been a while.Is yours a 99 also?

396 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 15, 2002, 09:37:00 AM »

yes. it is a 99. Will be waiting for your response, thanks.

LOOKING FOR MORE INPUT WITH MY PROBLEM. BIKE IS A 99. ALREADY CAHNGEDS THE FUEL PUMP AND RELAY ONCE BEFORE. WHAT ELSE SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR?

Fast-E-Nuf · « **Reply #12 on:** November 15, 2002, 09:17:00 PM »

It was something to do with the ground from the computer.Sorry have to recheck.I know thats your problem.

396 How's the insulation on the fuel pump? Sounds like you are "boiling" the fuel in the pump. The pummp won't pump a vapor....FREDDIE

396 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 16, 2002, 10:10:00 AM »

THE INSULATION IS WRAPPED AROUND THE PUMP. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPEND WAS AT NIGHT, ABOUT 65 DEGREES. THE BIKE WAS RUNNING FINE, BUT GOT INTO SOME STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THEN IT DIED.

396, have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting the ECM yet? If you haven't, give that a try. The very first thing you want to rule out is bad or oxidized connections. If the connectors are starting to develop a bad connection from oxidation, the ECM could intermitently lose power, sensor info or whatever is required by the ECM and possibly cause this scenario. For that matter, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go around checking and reseating all the various sensor connectors.

WILL GIVE IT A SHOT RIGHT NOW.

396 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2002, 11:23:00 PM »

just happend to me again this evening. This is the first time it cut off when the bike was moving. I do not think it is a fuel problem now. The bike just shut of completely, no burble or hick up like it is running out of fuel. Just like the on off switch was shut off instantly. I am thinking it might be the crankshaft position sensor? I will switch it and see what happens.

Slayer · « **Reply #19 on:** November 17, 2002, 12:00:00 AM »

Have you checked the simple stuff already, like for a loose battery cable. Seems like that was the reason for somebody elses problems before. Check the ground cable down by the starter as well.

396 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 17, 2002, 12:57:00 AM »

The whole bike does not shut down. Lights and gauges are still working. The motor just dies.

What about the infamous TMH tip over swith ?????

396 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2002, 01:05:00 AM »

I thought about that too. I will try that if the crankshaft sensor does not work.

Jebakaturbogsxrpilot · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2002, 01:12:00 AM »

Did ya check for codes yet??? I don't think the tipover switch

will trigger a code, I could be wrong!!!

396 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 17, 2002, 01:14:00 AM »

I am not getting an FI light. So I did not think there would be any codes. Anyone make the dealer mode checking switch?
