Look at the front of the motor behind the front wheel. You should find it there. When you install a new one, put oil in it first and let it soak into the filter, then install. Replace the drain plug crush washer too. Every time you change the oil. Chaz Moto DC

Bleeding the clutch is similar to bleeding brakes, only easier. Take the lid of the clutch master cylinder, on the clutch side. If it's leaking, check for cracks. Also check the rubber seal inside the lid to make sure it is sealing all around the reservoir. With the lid off, pour some DOT 4 fluid into the reservoir, and slowly squeeze the clutch to get some air out of the clutch. When you see only fluid moving back and forth, release the clutch, fill the reservoir to the upper line or a little below the top. Have a rag handy to wipe any overflow, as dot 4 removes paint. Tighten up top of master cylinder, and work clutch until you can feel the back pressure.

Need more info. At this point you are really asking for a troubleshooting flowchart. The best advice I have is that you start with the easiest to check issues and avoid throwing parts at the problem. You need to isolate a specific problem area by going through steps checking obvious issues. For example; does the fuel flow when it starts or not. Is there spark at the plugs after it dies... At least if you resolve if it is fuel or electronic that is the problem you will get better help with this. A great place to get very good free help is to join a Suzuki owners forum.

Check for lubrication...or a lot more things are going to get harder to use.....clutch next, probably.

Load test the battery. (most bike shops will do it for free) Check charging system. (should be 13.5vdc running at 3000rpm) Also, sounds like you may have a bad ignition switch?

Sir, check your sparkplugs if there is current or electric, you can use sparktester or do it manually out your sparkplug and put it on the top of the head cover of the engine then start the motorcycle if the sparkplug sparks meaning to say electric is ok. check your fuel and your carburetor, bleed your carburetor to check if there is gasoline in the carburetor. thanks, i hope your motorcycle will start.

This sounds like a bent shift fork. A bent shift fork will not let the slider gear(s) move properly.

you must be have advanced motorcycle mechanical skills to do this

Some are hard to bleed without a pressure bleeder. They only cost abt $35 & are often quite helpful for the bike brake cylinders as well. I also have a vacuum bleeder that the line goes over the bleeder. Either should work fine, since these systems are so small just a little air in the system can make your clutch not work. If you dont have either, i would reccomend buying the vacuum bleeder first. Rick

The most likely thing is a sticking clutch. With the ignition off, can you drop it into second gear and push it with the clutch pulled in? You say you put 'new petrol' in, so it sounds like it has been stored for a while. Clutches will often stick as the clutch plates have been under pressure for so long. Fully warm the engine before moving off until the plates free up.And it looks like you probably mean VS1400 not VS400!There is help herehttps://www.google.com/search?q=suzuki+intruder+vs1400+stalls+when+put+in+gear..

I would look to the main inline fuse

Yes it is easier to work if you do. The caliper will easily slide off the disc if left in place, but not quite so easy putting the wheel and disc back in. Here is the VS1400 Service Manual

This sounds like an issue with your clutch. It looks like you have a hydraulic clutch, so it may just need to be bled. As long as it is something in the clutch actuation, like the master or slave cylinders, it is not all that expensive. However, if it is a problem with the clutch itself, it can be an expensive fix. First thing to check is to see if the clutch fluid reservoir has fluid or not.
