I HAVE A 1983 GS550ES WITH ONLY 15000KM ON IT. I WAS RIDING IT ONE DAY AND IT SHUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE. THE MAIN FUSE BLEW(NOBIGGY) BUT IT DIDN'T START AFTERWARDS. I DONT KNOW, AS A NEWB, WHAT IT CAN BE. I CHARGED THE BATTERY BUT NO LUCK.

is the engine turning over? do you have spark if it is turning over? You probobly had a short somewhere... Check those things and let us know what you find.

Might be a stupid suggesting, but if it sat for a while after you blew the fuse, and you know you have spark, make sure you're priming the bowls. Easy to forget if you ride it a lot.

IT DIED IN OCTOBER. I BOUGHT IT IN JULY.RAN BEAUTIFULLY IN THAT TIME.(THIS IS MY FIRST BIKE)

pull one of the plugs out and keep the wire connected to the plug. Set the plug on your cylinder head, and hit the started button with the bike on and the kill switch off (run). look to see if you have spark. Also like someone said if it has been sitting since october, put some new gas in it and prime the carbs before trying to start it.

syncali: always start with the simple and move toward the complex, all good mechanics make it their mantra.
you checked the fuse and replaced it
you checked your battery charge posts are clean, negative cable hookup to frame is clean
your regulator/rectifier is operating
your spark plugs are sparking, fat , blue spark
youve got gasoline in the tank
gas is flowing to the carbs
coils are firing at the proper ohms
check everything. ikazuki
