Make sure both battery terminals are connected tightly. If they are, and you know what you're doing, you can bypass the solenoid by disconnecting the heavy cables and touching them together to see if the starter turns. If it turns, the solenoid may need replacing. If it doesn't turn, then the starter needs looking at.

float needles in carburetor need to be replaced.

Have the carburetors serviced. Sounds like a fuel pump problem(if your bike has one). If not it is because the idle mix is too lean.

CHECK FUEL LINES FILTERS AND BATTERY COMPONETS THEN CLEAN AND ADJUST CARB AS NEEDED

I'm having the same problem on the same year make and model.....did you find the problem? I can't figure it out.

It's usually one of two most common reasons. A fuel delivery restriction or no spark to the plugs. Check for spark by seeing if you can get spark to jump from a wire to the plug (hold it very close but not touching while cranking). If there is good spark then chek fuel flow (after the fuel pump) also check for any cloged fuel filters.

Here is a link to a rebuild kit for a GSX 750, your year was not listed maybe contact the sell on this part working for your application.

Check the fuses. Next, check for spark. If no spark then check again but with a new plug. Is the kill switch on? Does the side stand have a kill switch? Is it working properly? Tip-over kill switch on your bike? Check the operation of the ignition switch and all kill switches with a volt ohmmeter.

Check the loom. Did a wire come unplugged? Are all wires clean and with solid connections? Any abraded or pinched wires? Is the bike in neutral and the neutral light is lit up? If no neutral light, check the neutral switch and neutral switch wire on center casing. With a little luck this will get you back on the road.

Please rate this answer. Thanks

it must be tight on the starter.
check battery voltage when fully charged. it should read over 12.5v for a good battery. anything less then get a new one.

hi most likely the cable is corroded, remove the cable bar end first then unclip from carb end easy job if the cabe is seized the choke will return to its resting position, in this case replace cable, or free off and lubricate old cable.paul

remove the carb and blast it with carb cleaner by removing the 4 screws beneath the carburetor. leave it to dry out, replace and see if this releases the choke

Hi and welcome to the site,

Depending on the version, there is a hidden headlight switch inside the start button switch that switches off when starting. In some instances, the contacts may have corrosion or have burned when the headlight socket had a problem. Other than the dimmer switch this is another possibility to consider.

Good luck and thank you for asking.

Dead spot on the starter or possibly bad neutral start switch.

dirty petrol ? fuel tap filter blocked,carb needs a clean out

Sounds like a short in the generator rotor magnet windings its ok until it heats up and expands then your short happens.
Hope this helps
