20 Most Recent 2004 Suzuki VZ 800 Marauder Questions & Answers

So have you worked on it. Clutch springs could not be engaging and or burnt the clutches. Does the rear wheel turn if you push the bike. The sprocket broke maybe. Snapped the output shaft. Was it working fine and you beating on it before it stopped. Trying rolling the bike and shifting to see if it catches and goes in gear.

Maybe she jammed the emergency flasher switch or it is shorted.

sounds like a cdi box issue. this is the ignition module.

Definately try a spark plug first. What does the old spark plug look like? ( white, oil fouled, melted, metallic?). Usually a fuel issue will make the inoperable cylinder very hot. Might have a loose valve guide in the head, or a bent valve.

Did you check the flasher relay? Just like on a car there'll be a round or square tin flasher on or near the fuses, when operating it ticks on and off just like an automotive one

There should be a lock on the right side just below the seat that the key goes in to unlock the seat: http://www.bikebandit.com/2004-suzuki-vz800-marauder-seat/o/m139069sch507049

Please ask a question. We can't fix it if you don't tell us what is wrong with it.

This should be the location of the fuse boxRemove the left side cover, look near the middle and you will see a black rectangular box mounted sideways. It has a Phillips head screw in the middle. On the end of the box that faces the front of the bike it should say FUSE (it may have dust over the words). Remove the screw and pop the plastic box off, the fuses are under there - 4 or 5 of them.

Either the battery is worn out and needs replacing or you have a hidden consumer - something is not disconnected when you turn the key off, something like a radio or an alarm and it's draining the battery.Replace the battery and check the power contacts on the ignition key.

Hi,Your kickstand safety switch may be sticking.

The side stand switch is a safety device that will stop the rider from riding off with the side stand still down by turning off the ignition power.

Your side stand switch is likely bad.

usually there are clamps which go aroung the silencer pipe.just undo pinch bolts and support brackets on silencer

some steering lock barrels have a spring loaded pin which goes into a drilling to secure..to remove well a bit of dismantling of the innerds with what ever you have to hand,punch,small chissel slow and steddy as to not damage housing

Your idle circuit jet is clogged, you will need to run seafoam fuel additive in your gas tank and see if this clears it up or clean the carbs.

Sounds as if your bike needs a good tune up, until you do it, you could turn up the idle screw a tad and that will stop stalling at low speeds, but not cure your problem. Get your self a good manual and if you feel you are up to it, do it yourself, else find a good bike mechanic.

Get on the internet and ask a mc salvage. They know alot
