    alright so i bought me a used 2001 suzuki marauder 800 about a month ago but now the dang thing wont start. thinking it was a bum battery i went and bought a new battery and tried it out. the first two days were fine and then it was as dead as the other one. so thinking it was the battery maybe, i charged it then it ran fine a couple days now its doing the same thing.after charging it more i rode it today and it died 4 different times while i was driving down the road(luckily my sister was driving behind me so she could jump me off). it just totally lost power so anybody have any ideas?

    Loose terminal, bum charging system, draw on the electrical system……just a few ideas.

    Download the service manual at http://copronymous.com/images/M50-MANUAL.pdf …not sure if it’s the right model year for your ride, but there is a checklist for the exact problem you described.
