The carby butterflies or the carby levers to open and close the butterflies are stuck.

First check all battery cables and connections, no one may look loose , heated or oxydated. Jump the starter relay with a big diameter cable, if startermotor runs normally, replace the relay. Check the amperage starter takes when starting. if it's over 100A, then your starter or your engine is stuck.

check main fuse

moved you. google suzuki motorcycle forum. , win

remove the battery cover and then you can get to the 2 battery cables. remove those I do the ground first then the positive. pull the battery out and replace and install reverse order. before installing the covers. check the bike starts and the 2 battery cables are tight. those should be about 15 pounds of torque. which is not a lot. since it does not do anything but hold the wires it does not need the same tightness as a tire lug nut.

unfortunately not unless you want to do a tremendous amount of fabrication, welding and rechroming

Feed it augmentation???

High miles, maybe brushes bad. Battery fully charged? Get the meter out and see if 12VDC or better. Solenoid faulty, check wires from battery to solenoid, then the 2 smaller trigger wires from solenoid to make sure they are connected and clean. First I would use a wrench or tool and jump across the 2 studs off the solenoid and see if starter engages, if not test battery for proper voltage or loose battery cables, if yes then inspect the 2 trigger wires, unplug them and use meter set to Ohm, on the end going to switch connect leads, press your starter button, does meter go to 0? If not the wires or the starter switch bad, if yes, then likely solenoid bad if voltage was good and battery connections were tight and clean. I have only seen 1 go bad on all the many bikes I have owned, but it happens..

turn it off at the wall, leave it 5 mins, then turn it back on, this should clear any erroneous usb connections

try a jump start anyway. sometimes the battery seems good but it just isnt cranking out enough amps especially in the winter...might be time to upgrade the battery...or/then check for spark at the plug/wires

http://www.bikebandit.com/1994-suzuki-vs1400glp-carburetor-rear/o/m139273sch259338 This is the REAR carb. Item #42 is the idle speed adjuster. When the engine revs just by turning the handlebars this is the routing of the throttle cables hanging up, and pulling on the cables when you turn the bars....reroute cables!

Check the levers on the carb moves when you open the throttle, if it does suspect the carb. Fuel in carb goes from the bowl out of carb toward cylinder through 2 carb jets. One is only for idle - ignore it. The other may be blocked. its a very small brass screw in item with a pinhole in it. Clean all the carb internals carefully, do not make pinholes bigger than they are.
