Bike sat for 1 year, no crank Replaced battery and starter solenoid - started quickly. Added 1/2 tank of new gas to fill up. Idled for 15 minutes - no problem. Took for a ride. Got 1 mile from home and bike started missing and then died. Now it cranks strong but will not start. Fuel issue or ???? Suggestions?

Your float in your carburator is stuck closed due to old gas or if your bike is fuel injected then it is likely clogged fuel injectors. Check you spark plug for spark first and if all is good, start working on cleaning the fuel system.

2005 Suzuki C50 Boulevard wheels on Earth will find but will not crank?

Question edited for a bit more clarity, but not sure what what you mean about 'wheels on earth' and 'will find but will not crank'?
Question moved to a Boulevard Category.

Do you mean it cranks, but doesn't 'fire' or start?

Your engine only needs three things

1. Clean fuel and supplied to the engine. yours is injected, so it needs fuel pump pressure.

2. You need Compression. You can measure that with a gauge.

3. A spark at the right time.

1986 honda shadow vt1100. Whenever I hook up the battery the starter starts to crank, and continues to crank until battery is disconnected or dies.

solenoid or relay stuck, if water has managed to get in over the 2 years or its corroded up the connections will connect, when the power went in the first time it moved but is unable to go back into the original off position.

2006 Suzuki Boulevard c50. Main 30 amp fuse blows as soon as the start button is hit.

sounds like the starter is shorted out or the bike was tried to start when battery was near dead and the starter is engagaed if starter is engagaed put it in gear and bump(push the bike ) it a few times forward and back this should disengage the starter if it still blows fuses the you may have a shorted windings in the starter and it will need to be rebuilt

2006 Suzuki Boulevard C50 engine dies

Even though you probably don't have that many miles on the bike, or if you do have a lot riding time on it, it sounds to me like you need a valve adjustment. That's a high reving bike for that engine that works pretty hard so you might have 1 - 3 loose valves.

Suzuki Boulevard C50, cranks but won't turn over to start. It has not been used much recently though short ride was taken a week or two prior to this problem. Battery seems charged sufficiently and gets to...

fuel does not have a very good shelf life. it only takes a couple of weeks to lose it's octane level. although fuel injector additive is good to clean and maintain your fuel system, it is not a fuel stabilizer to maintain octane rating in fuel. i recommend changing you plugs and draining your old gas and replacing it with fresh gas. try using a product called SeaFoam in your fuel, it cleans and stabilizes, you can get it at your local auto parts store.
