2002 Suzuki VL 1500 Intruder LC - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Bleed the clutch's hydraulic system fully ... you must remove all air from/in your lines / cylinders / actuators... ect ect use a high quality dot 3 or dot 4 synthetic hydraulic fluid as per manufacturer's recommendations.... good luck if this does not correct issue then a fresh clutch pack may be in order but bleed system fully before replacement of any components if you have never bled a hydraulic system before then review the many videos of this operation on youtube watch a couple of them to fully understand how to bleed a clutch....Best of luck to you.

Fit a pressure gauge to the fuel line and check pressure, pressure must hold with the engine stopped, if not check the pressure regulator and the non return valve in the fuel pump.If all ok there check for injector leak.

check fork tube for seal leakage

Check your fuses... If the wires touched whole the key was on you probably blew a fuse...

Never hear of an after market tank for the intruder, the tank is located under the seat and holds only 3 gallons. You can get aprox 120-130 miles on a tank full.

When it shuts off while driving, a vacuum in the gas tank can built up when the gas cap is restricting ventilation. The power regulator may be at fault as well. Have you checked the ignition coil for power? Is it going to the spark plugs?

http://www.moccsplace.com/images/pair/pair1.htm ... if you go to his home page, I think he still sells a inexpensive kit that addresses the hoses etc that have to be blocked off if you choose to remove the system.

Tire pressure is 29 lbs for the front and 36 lbs for the rear

Double check your battery to be sure that you bought the right kind. Also double check the reg/rec. This device is what is primarily responsible for the charging being correct. Overcharging should fall squarely on the shoulders of the reg/rec. if you didn't already replace it with a brand new part I'd still think that was the problem. If you did replace it, I suppose it is possible for your alternator to be broken and producing an absurd amount of energy, but I doubt it.

If they cant duplicate it your good.Usualy with backfiring i would make sure to eliminate any exhaust leaks. The dealer is inexperienced at solving compound problems,(sorry) not picking a fight, but sometimes cleaning is not goog enough,I went through this with a 1400 Intruder.several attempts were needed to get the two carbs level on the same line with each other.so the floats would work properly together,then set fuel flow and the air flow through the ventouri in the carbs.Also i had to make these adjustments while level (not on side stand) The floats were very sencitve to needle valve to seat adjustment(bent to open or close some of the flow)

MOST probably just a loose connector - remove the meter and fuel inlet cover (center chrome with speedometer in it) and reach under the front of it - unplug and replug the connector. It has a small clip you need to squeeze to unplug it. If the clip didn't catch, the connector might have just fallen off.

This could be any number of things. First consider the most obvious. Change the rear spark plug. Then check the compression in the rear cylinder. If compression is low, it could be a valve sticking or a piston ring wore or a hole in cylinder. If compress is alright, rebuild carbs. I would check out options in a row. I don't think it could be a be the stator or regulator. But it could be. Those would need to be checked out by dealer. Hope tis helps.

I HAD A '98 THAT DID THAT. I REBUILT THE CARBURETORS AND THAT FIXED IT. I THINK WHEN I GAVE IT THE GAS IT WOULD FLOOD OUT OR SOMETHING. HOPE IT HELPS YOU. g

Might be as simple as re-seating the plug to the gauges. I'd certainly try that before tearing anything else apart. Not hard to get to. Remove allen bolts under gas cap cover and 2 on front of chrome tank assembly, plus 3 Philips head around gas cap, and lift assembly. All guage wires are in one plug under front portion of assembly. NOTE: There's a small clip under the rubber boot you need to squeeze to release the plug. Unplug, replug and see what your gauges do (you can test this -before- reassembly) Good Luck!

Had the same problem - stock battery simply doesn't have enough cranking power. I've replaced with Shorai Lithium/Iron Phosphate battery and resolved the problem (but a bit pricey - I paid over $140 for battery)

My 1999 model does - found easily under the seat (4 bolts to remove seat.)

Drain your oil. Get several quarts of oil that Suzuki recommends for your VL 1500. Fill it until your dip stick indicates the proper level.

Dont get cheap on this ... motorcycles take q beating and need high quality lubricants.

check all the wires-"clean and tight" it may be a loose wire or bad conection. if thats good it may be the starter or starter solenoid telling you its bad, also check the wires in the starter button on the hanldle bar or the ignition switch

Replace your indicator relay first. if that doesn't fix it then you will need a new indicator switch.
