Re: 1999 Suzuki Marauder vz800 Starter issue

Also, does it do this every single time? Like scenario 1 never fires and scenario 2 always fires? because the solenoid would be just as dirty either way. I'd try to limit the number of variables if possible.
The difference between the 2 scenarios is that
1. you're in gear
2. you rocked the bike
3. you pulled the clutch in while the starter switch was depressed.

So it's hard to tell which one of those is fixing the situation. Maybe try changing only one thing at a time, like being in gear only, or pulling the cluch while the starter switch is engaged, etc. Or maybe you've done that and you need to do all 3 to start the bike I'm not sure.
