1982 Suzuki GSX 400 FS impulse Questions & Answers
Ls650, S40, BS40 Mikuni carburetor, I want to fit
If you fit a pod filter, or take the lid off the air box, you are allowing more air into the engine. Therefore, you must also allow more fuel to mix with the air. To do this, you must increase the jet size in the carburator. I recommend Dyno Jet brand jet kits. They will have all the parts necessary as well as tuning guidelines to follow.
Bike wont start. battery charge up ,push starter
Hi and welcome to the site,
Initially, have the battery load tested.
Offhand, temporarily jumper the 2 big terminals of the starter relay. If the starter motor spins, then a faulty starter relay. To locate the starter relay, follow the cable from the battery's + terminal.
If even jumping the 2 terminals, the starter motor would not turn, either:
- starter motor has issues more particularly the carbon brushes and/or the commutator segments; or
- the battery is no longer able to hold sufficient charge.
Good luck and thank you for asking.
Good morning, I must change the battery but I
no more then 2 amps rated for charger
most chargers Amp meter
will read zero when battery fully charged
and high current if battery not taking charge is shortted out
should check why battery not holding charge
Installed new battery cross connected it
make sure all conections are fine + to + and - to - and than check all your fuses to me it sounds like your positive side is grounding itself somewhere you just got to check all the positive cables and makes sure there not touching ground than I would start to look at your voltage regulator as they tend to go bad on older bikes but make sure you check all your fuses first
Hi there! I recently bought a 1983 GSX400F. Now
Why? You will only change a system that has been designed to work without an oil cooler. What do you hope to achieve? Is your bike running too hot?
Save your money and spend it on your next bike, not in making zero-input mods where they are not needed.
Starting problems
when you say, "just drains the power", do you mean it kills the battery trying to start? when its turning over and over and not starting, did you take the plugs out and see if they are wet with fuel?
Oil in air box
Yep, its somewhat normal. Your crankcase ventilation tube connects to the back of the airbox. There is a small foam to dampen the airflow and remove the droplets from the flow - but other than that the crankcase is connected to the airbox.
Now the good question is that what amount is normal, i.e. under what conditions there may be excessive amounts of oil generating so much positive pressure to crankcase that the oil becomes clearly visible in airbox... one reason may be too high oil level to start with ? Other reasons may relate to some kind of piston blowby - like rings glued into the piston? Also it is sometimes possible that PAIR lets air to move back to the airbox - but have not seen that happening in a busa, just in a car. In that case rather than oil its black carbon residue which feels a bit oil'ish.
You can test the crancase pressure by removing the hose from the back of the airbox and feel the pressure when engine is running. It should not be blowing air out - but some pressure, or more like pulses will be felt. (Its so long time when I have last done this test, so maybe someone could describe this better...)
Anyway this reminded me about the fact that in cars there is often a PCV valve, positive crankcase ventilation valve. I am just wondering why we dont have that in busa ? The performance related desire to have negative crankcase pressure surely is not the reason...
Chain check and maintenance
Depending on how aggressively you ride, chains should be inspected every 500-700 miles, or roughly twice a month
Why my Suzuki TF 125 losses power in the midway? What are the causes for such loss of power?
What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap?
Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

Where is the rectifier located on my 2004 suzuki katana 600
Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

Bypass immobilizer on 2007 Suzuki R6
You can't, the computerized system is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do, Steal the bike without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram or over-ride the computer. You need a bike electrician.

Where is air/fuel screw on a suzuki vs 800 intruder
The air/fuel mixture screw on a Suzuki VS800 Intruder is typically located on the carburetor. To adjust the air/fuel mixture, you'll need to locate the carburetor and look for a small screw that can be turned.
Keep in mind that the exact location of the screw may vary slightly depending on the model year and specific carburetor version on your VS800 Intruder. Generally, it is located on the bottom or side of the carburetor.
Here are the general steps to locate and adjust the air/fuel mixture screw:
1. Locate the Carburetor: The carburetor is usually positioned on the side or underside of the engine. Follow the intake manifold or air filter housing to find the carburetor.
2. Identify the Air/Fuel Screw: Look for a small screw on the carburetor. This screw is typically flat-headed and may be recessed. It is often located near the bottom of the carburetor.
3.Adjustment: With the engine running at idle, use a screwdriver to turn the air/fuel mixture screw. Turning it clockwise (in) usually leans out the mixture, while turning it counterclockwise (out) enriches the mixture.
4. Listen to the Engine: As you make adjustments, listen to the engine's sound. The goal is to find the point where the engine runs smoothly and the idle is stable.
5. Fine-Tune: Make small adjustments and give the engine a moment to respond before making further changes. It's a process of trial and error to find the optimal setting.
6. Check the Owner's Manual: Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for specific guidance on the location and adjustment of the air/fuel mixture screw. The manual will provide information tailored to your bike's make and model.
If you're uncomfortable making these adjustments yourself or if you're unsure about the location of the screw, it's advisable to consult a professional mechanic or refer to the specific service manual for your Suzuki VS800 Intruder.
