01 gsxr 750 wont start
i have a 2001 gsxr 750 that will not start. When i try to start it all you hear is the starter solenoid clicking. A friend thought it might have been hydro-locked, so we tried taking the spark plugs out ( they were clean) and tried to start to see if any oil shot out but none did. Then we tried putting the bike in fourth or fifth gear and lifed the rear wheel and tried to move the wheel but it was just stuck. Even tried to bump start and the back wheel just locked up.
So if anyone has a clue or might know what is wrong please write. Thanx

RE: 01 gsxr 750 wont start
Your engine is just simply locked up. Because of that your starter wont turn and thats the clicking noise your hearing and thats why the tire wont turn. It could be the trany, pistons, valves, crankshaft. Your best bet would be to have someone look at it. I work for a dealership so if you want pricing just let me know. You engine will probably have to be taken apart if someone cant diagnose it first.

Was the machine left in storage and now it wont start?
Was it functional and then attempt to ride this occured?
If engine seized seemed it would have given indicators beforehand,noise ,sqeals excessive smoking or fluild losses,general weirdness....
If storage is the case/ was engine prepped before storing,fuel removed or stabilized and exhaust/intakes plugged ,plugs removed and oil into cylinders and so on and so on?
If not properly prepped engine could be bound up not seized and could be recovered .if rings have rusted to cylinder walls an introduction of 0W or 5W motor oil(synthetic would be best)into the cylinders,enough to cover piston tops. let soak and then give it a go by pushing in 4th gear gently if it doesnt work give the oil some more time,maybe even overnight..if this is the case then off you go...
.seized engines are usually caused by running with some condition out of spec and parts FUSE from excess heat,you are screwed if this occured...
3other considerations
1 Is tranny indeed disengaged and in neutral and is not bindingwhen trying to start with starter?
2 Do you have a flawless connection from BATTERY?
a loose adaptor on the batt will not do anything exceptclick soleniod andare all connection CLEAN andNO painted/corroded grounds.
3 Is battery in TOPshape fully charged, do not rely on bike tore-charge a dead cell.
