    hello, my name is matt. this summer i purchased a 1997 suzuki gs500e from my older brother and ran into a few problems. first was a fuel line issue that i thought to be resolved. the bike would have an inconsistency in the throttle spiking the rpms way higher than intended instead of a smooth acceleration. After that was fixed i actually got myself into an accident being a wreckless teenager… Anyways to the most recent problem, today I went to try to start my bike and it wouldn’t turn over so i thought charging the battery made sense but even after that it still would not start so i resorted to push starting it wich actually did work and then rode it around for a while, while it was running i turned it off and tried to start it back up again and it wouldnt work without giving it the right amount of gas and in a later attempt the bike would not start at all. can anyone tell me what the problem could be?

    Welcome to the group.

    Unfortunately, I’m not mechanically inclined. However, if you post this question in the “General” forum, you might get some responses.

    Hope you figure out your difficulties.
