My Bandit died while riding.

I was out for a days ride. bike performed perfectly on the way. i stopped at one town for a few hours. i got back on the bike and rode hard for about 10 -15 mins. came over a rise in the road and tapped off pulled the clutch in and geared down to stop, i went into 4th and noticed the oil light came on and the bike died. when trying to start the bike now the motor does not turn over but i hear a clicking sound of the a relay. there is 12 volts on the battery and if you doe a volt test on the starter its just over 2 volts. oils levels seem to be fine. i put 500 mls in and the indicator seems over filled. have tried to push the bike in 5th gear but the bike does not move and the engine does not turn over, maybe its just too much compression. the lights, indicator and hooter are all working. what can the problem be?

SOURCE: Running rough , oil light came on, then stalled at stop lights.

hi m8,,took a look at this pretty pic u have and thought i add one of these,,see wot the prob is,,hope im not gonna be the bringer of bad news mr, seems to me the oil pump in the sump has seized,,while riding it if it felt tight wen it stopped, then that aint good,, but u can change these with out takin the moter out,drain the oil,, sump off and clutch out, to get to the nuts on the oil pump..just means either u lie on the floor and do it, or be lucky and have a ramp,,although u will have to get some 1 to look at the shells on the crank,, or bearings and hope they havent been damaged,,there wont be damage tho if the oil u have drained out doesnt have iron filings in it, ,cheers m8,,

SOURCE: 01 gsxr that fl code came on and oil light is on.

It is not safe to drive with the oil light on, you risk major engine damage. It means low oil pressure. The FI light means a fault with the fuel injection system. You will need diagnostic equipment connected to the bike to read the fault code(s). Most likely this will be at a shop.

SOURCE: Very hard shifting and clunking into gear

hi mate try not to use fully synthetic oil use semi synthetic and if its clutch slipping you will tell because when you put it in 1st gear it will jump forward or move a little bit but if not then your clutch is perfect also check chain tension if to tight will cause clunking good luck buddy :)

SOURCE: My bike was running perfectly and then just stopped.

check for spark... if there is a spark it could be a fuel problem... check that the petcock is free flowing.. also try spraying brake cleaner in the air inlet... if it starts up that means that fuel aint flowing thru the carbs.. give them a good cleaning

I don't have a problem yet. I'm buying a 1997 Honda Shadow Vt 1100 from my sister-in-law. My step brother died a few months ago and she want's to sell me his bike, my question is I know how well my...

If the bike is in good running order you should be able to drive it every day form dusk to dawn. 10-12 hour rides should be no trouble what so ever. If the motorcycle has been sitting and not run for a few months and your intention is to hop on and ride it six hours to your house, you may want to consider either trailering it home or taking it for a couple of short drives just to verify it is running properly before attempting the long drive home.

I ride for about an hour then it dies. it acts like a fuel problem. it will start back up but will die when i give it gas. if i wait about ten minutes, it starts up and rides finee

possibly **** in your tank which has blocked your jets in the carb, clean out tank and fit an in-line fuel filter and clean carbs, imports often did this due to rust inside tank, if its bad take off tank and put in an old bike chain with some oil and shake the **** out of it, flush it out and drop an old speaker magnet inside tank to colect any rust in the future then fill it back up with fuel

Suzuki bandit sticky gearbox

Stop riding the bike until you change the gearbox oil and oil filter. Yes, the oil is probably the problem. I am somewhat surprised that the pistons haven't seized yet. On the bottom or lower side of the gear box there will be an oil drain plug. Drain the oil and put in new oil. The oil fill hole is probably on the right side cover near the rear of the casing. The plug will probably have a dip stick to measure the oil level. Put in 10w40 motor oil. Ride the bike for a few hours then drain the oil to help flush out the dirt and grit built up in the gearbox. Put in fresh oil and a new oil filter if the bike has a filter.

Your bike is 18 years old and parts can be difficult to find. Your bike probably has an oil filter. If so, it desperately needs a new one. Google " vintage suzuki motorcycle parts " . I can not find a free service manual online. You may be able to buy one at www.repairmanuals.com

Breaking Down

The problem may be a pinched fuel or vacuum hose, or a weak/collapsed vacuum hose. The problem may be varnished fuel/carburetors.

It may be an electrical problem: loose connector or defective conductor.

I cannot help you other than this without having the Duc and performing a few tests. The Monsters are fun to ride.
