My gsxr is dying on me

[evonmispets]

Guys I need your help and or advice on my gsxr problem.

For some reason my bike is dying on me while I'm driving it and it happens when I press the clutch over 30+ mph, for example : if I'm under a bridge, everyone likes to rev it to hear your engine, right?, well... I can't because as soon as I press the clutch the engine shuts down and I have to release it to start the engine again.

I've taken the bike to mechanic's and they don't know what's wrong with it.

If someone know what's going on please let me know.

Thank you in advance!

I own a suzuki gsxr 600 2008 with 18k mi. New oil change, new spark plugs, new k&n air filter, new gas pump.

I'd take it to someone who specialists in auto electronics, sounds like there could be something to do with the Clutch switch.

the clutch switch has two functions - it interlocks the starter relay - meaning that the starter relay cant turn on unless it's in - it also tell the ecu to change the fuelling and ignition maps, because the engine is no longer under oad - it doesnt interlock with any other circuit, to do with ignition, so if it's killing the ignition whilst running, then it must be shorting out and pulling the ignition voltage down - but this then raises the question of how you manage to start the bike in the first place, if pulling the clutch in kills the ignition?

does the bike start without pulling the clutch in? quite often people bypass the clutch switch, so it doesnt need to be pulled in (at which point they could have messed it up, so that when you do actually pull it in it kills ignition? it could also be a problem with the neutral map if the ecu's been flashed
