1985 Suzuki GSX 550 EF - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Have a 97 Suzuki Intruder 1400 and it sounds like it's not getting gas. Where is the fuel filter and is could this be the problem
What EXACTLY is it doing to make you think it isn't getting fuel? This model does not have a separate fuel filter. The fuel tap on actual tank, (the petcock), has a gauze filter built into it inside the tank. These can sometimes clog up over time especially if it's had bad gas through it or it's been stood for a while.
When was the last time the Carbs were serviced? This could be as simple as a dirty fuel jet or a dirty/worn needle.
If your going to clean the gauze filter make absolutely sure the tank is empty BEFORE you remove any fuel lines or the petcock.
I found that an old, stiff bristle toothbrush works well to clean the gauze.

1986 Suzuki Intruder Vs 700 won't shift when running
More information please. What EXACTLY is it doing? Slack clutch lever? Stuck clutch lever? Crunching or grinding as you try to shift? Grabbing and stalling as it selects the gear?
Start at the clutch lever. Check it is pulling the cable then check at the transmission end that the cable is connected and moving with the lever. Next check the lever on the actual transmission. Does it seem too tight or too slack? These will give clues as to where the issue could be.
It's a 37 year old bike so is it the original Clutch? Even motorcycle clutches wear out.

How to get crank case cover to access one-way Sprague for starter
The specific steps for accessing the one-way Sprague for the starter in your engine's crankcase cover may vary depending on the make and model of your engine. However, here are some general guidelines:
- Refer to the engine manual: The first step is to consult the manual for your engine. This will provide you with specific instructions for accessing the crankcase cover and the one-way Sprague.
- Disconnect the battery: Before working on your engine, always disconnect the battery to prevent accidental electrical shock.
- Drain the oil: Depending on the engine, you may need to drain the oil from the crankcase before removing the cover. Make sure to have a container to collect the oil.
- Remove the bolts: Once the oil is drained, remove the bolts that secure the crankcase cover. You may need a socket wrench or other tools to do this.
- Gently pry off the cover: Use a flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry tool to gently pry off the cover. Be careful not to damage the gasket or any other components.
- Access the one-way Sprague: With the cover removed, you should be able to access the one-way Sprague. Depending on the engine, you may need to remove other components to get to it.
- Inspect the one-way Sprague: Once you have access to the one-way Sprague, inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. If necessary, replace it with a new one.
- Reassemble the engine: Once you have completed the repairs or maintenance, reassemble the engine by following the reverse steps.
- Refill the oil: Refill the crankcase with the appropriate amount and type of oil.
Remember to always consult the manual for your engine and to take appropriate safety precautions when working on your engine
