    Help!! My 1980 Suzuki GS1100 is having problems....HELP!!!

    My 1980 Suzuki GS1100 is having problems. Here is what happens:

    -After starting up, I put the bike into gear and try to ride off....

    --The bike rides for about 10 feet and then the engine dies.


    Can anybody tell me what the problem is?

    Thanks!!

        one of your safety switches seems broken

        maybe the one on the kickstand or something--i dont remember how they work--i never liked those things any way someone else has had this trouble im sure and will soon answer you correctly
