1995 Suzuki VS 800 Intruder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have a 2001 VL800. It has been setting all
if it was left with any fuel in in the carbs then they could have solidified into a varnish type gunge. the carbs need stripped andcleaned.
make sure when u are leaving it standing again over the winter that you either drain all the fuel out or fill the tank up with fuel and stabilizer.
hope this helps.
My bike has a new battery. I ran it a few weeks
Did you get your problem fixed. I have a similar one - new battery - started fine several times and now won't start without hooking the battery to either a jump or putting on a charger. If you can help - I am w8bnl at yahoo dot com. Tom - thanks
The clutch on my 1995 suziki vs 800 slips under
Keep the bike upright and place the handlebars straight. Check the clutch fluid level in the reservoir. If it's below the lower mark, take the cap off and fill it to the upper level. Use D.O.T. 3 or 4 brake fluid. If this doesn't solve the problem you may have air bubbles in the line or dirty fluid. If so, make sure the reservoir is at the top level and replace the cap and tighten it back up. Remove the secondary gear cover.(just ahead of the driveshaft) Attach a pipe or hose to the bleeder valve and run the other end into a pan or something similiar so you don't get fluid everywhere.Squeeze and release the clutch lever several times in rapid succession, and squeeze the lever fully without releasing it.Loosen the bleeder valve by turninmg it a quarter of a turn so that the fluid runs into the resepticle; this will remove the tension of the clutch lever causing it to touch the handlebar grip. Then,close the valve,pump and squeeze the lever, and open the valve again. Do this as many times as needed to get the air out of the system and nothing but clear brake fluid running through the line You may have to add fluid to the reservoir during this process. When the air bubbles are gone and the fluid is running clear, top off the reservoir to the upper level. Also, you may know that brake fluid will peel the paint off of your paint job so be careful not to get any on the painted surfaces.
If all of this fails, then you probably need new clutches but most likely not. I have an '86 model (same bike) and it still has the original clutches. Hope this helps; John
Bike runs better with the choke on?
You have an enrichener not a choke on your intruder. Most bikes are set up very lean so when you enrichen or increase fuel they run better. Has your bike been stored for a long time? Your jets could be partially clogged.. pour a qualty fuel cleaner in your tank like Lucas, Berrymans, or Techroline by Chevron. Also if you have modified your air cleaners you will run lean and need to re-jet..
Not charging
check fuse on positive to battery,if not blown the check feed wire from stator plate to regulator should be around 80 to 120 volts ac.if low voltage then you will need a new stator/alternator.www.thepitstopcardiff.co.uk 999pounds 50cc lifan on the road 3yr warranty
