got a 750 intruder that had been sitting for a long time chopped it up made a 4wheeler out of it. Im having problems getting it to fire up alot of back fire and an occasional fire cleaned carb real good just want to get it running so i can move on with project

does the clutch lever release "sharply" and snap back after engagement? then lean bike over drain about a quart of oil, take off access cover to clutch and check to see if you have any broken clutch springs. if thats looks o.k. you"ll probably need new clutch plates. a real quick check when you ride the bike smell the oil, does it smell burnt? if it does, the plates are probably no good.

Hi it sounds as if the petrol to air mixture is not correct. It could also be a blocked jet or injector. I would try first an in tank carb/injector cleaner I have used these many times and they really do work well on removing crud from the fuel system. It might be a good time to check the air filter these can also affect the mixture. Hope this helps.

You can easily look this up on line at the NGK sparkplug site. Global Denso also has the info for cars and motorcycles. (The OEM sparkplug for your bike is either NGK or Denso... upgrade with Iridium Plugs for a bit more HP and longer life.) It's 0.035" The iridium Denso Plug is 5375 (IX22B)

Yes. As is the case with the vast majority of street bikes powered by a four cycle engine, yours has crankcase oil inside the generator cover. The oil serves to keep the generator coil temperatures at a reasonable level. Plus, it is much easier to mass produce an engine that doesn't require an oil seal around one end of the crankshaft.

It's either 18mm or 5/8's make sure it's a spark plug socket or it won't have the rubber insert used to grab the plug once it's loose. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_5bac37c3cb991fdb

You should check your ignition system to the rear cylinder. If only one pipe has "blued" it would seem as if you have a firing problem in one pot. It could be something as simple as a failing plug or even an incorrect plug gap. Check the simple things first, then you can start looking at the expensive bits.

Sounds like possibly an ignition switch problem. Replace or bypass the ignition switch and kill switch.

If it is only one light usually its the bulb if both are not working possibly its the flasher unit.

be sure your timing is correct in relation between the camshaft and crankshaft i would also check the valve lash and timing chain tensioner if applicable

could be a clutch issue but first make sure it doesnt have a saftey switch in the kickstand it will be like a secondary kill switch that kills the engine so you don't ride of with the kickstand down its a little sensor that usuall has 2 wires coming out of it sometimes you can bypass it although i dont recommend this as a permanent fix, look near the kickstand pivot for this sensor

fuel mixtures, or valve clearances, check these and try again

Has the bike been sitting? It sounds like a carb issue. Most times they backfire because they are running too lean.Also,check for vacuum leaks around the intake using brake clean while the bike is running.If the idling characteristics change when you spray it,then you know you have an intake leak.If the bike has been sitting for a while,then the carbs may need to come off,and be cleaned and synched.

Could be a head gasket or a bad seal drain your oil from the crank case and look for signs of coolant than if that's not the prob try removing the heat sheild or whatever it is and inspect every thing all coolant lines

Bike probably has a tipover safty switch call susuki dealer and they will be happy to tell you how to reset it. Good luck
