Hey, i am new to this but i have no idea what else to do. I was riding one day and the bike just cut off on me and would not crank back up. All the lights were still on and it would try and try to crank but would not fire up. I replaced the battery, ignition switch, spark plugs. The carb bowls are full of fuel and all of the fuses are good and the circuit breaker is still good too. Can anyone please help with any suggestions, this is my only way of going pretty much. it is a 1991 Suzuki gsxr750.
thanks everyone!

Don't know if it will help but on my 01 750 the key cylinder has a diode in it and the diode burnt up or sumthing and its a type on anti theft where if the ecm doesnt receive the correct voltage after the volts pass thru the diode it wouldn't let the ignition system produce spark. Wouldn't prime the fuel pump. All it would do is crank over all day long. Swapped key switch and bam fired right up

ok so when i changed the plugs i poured seafoam down in there and let it set for a couple days. Just tried to crank it and it cranked right up. Check for firing and the coils are firing like they should be, and the kill switch has no corrosion. Let it idle for about 10 mins and ran fine. Shut it off and it cranked right back up. Could of it just been the plugs and all that carbon and trash down in the holes to cause it to cut off while riding and not crank back up???

Get yourself a multimeter and a service manual, and test the electrical system components (stator, R/R, battery, and charging system while bike is running). Test the connections, check the wiring harness, etc. Don't throw money at the bike until you have found the problem, then fix it.
