    New Bike

    Hey, i just got a bike from my dad. its a GS1100GK. It has not ran for a couple years. but only because the fuel has not been hooked up. a few months ago my Dad ran a compression test and of course it didn't fire up, because of no gas, but it did turn over, but now when i hook up the battery, turn the key, nothing. so wondering if anyone on here has any ideas on what it might be. please and thankyou!

    Greetings and Salutations!!

    Hi Mr. dcompton1994,

    Fuses? Connections? Dead battery? What do you mean "nothing"? It's time to go through the maintenance lists in your "mega-welcome" and get busy. Skipping steps or taking shortcuts can lead to catastrophic failures!

    Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'.

    I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

    If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

    Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", "Top 15 Tips For GS Happiness", the Carb Cleanup Series, and the Stator Papers. All of these tasks must be addressed in order to have a safe, reliable machine. This is what NOT to do: Top 10 Newbie Mistakes. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...

      Thanks for the reply

      and nothing happens at all, it doesn't turn over, doesn't make any sounds, no lights, nothing haha.
      Well had to put water in the battery. the battery is anywhere from 11-12 volts. also the ground was unconnected, so i connected it to a bolt on the frame, is there anything else i could try?

        Sounds like a junk battery, but go through cliff's site because you will have more to dos on your list.
