Hi your carbs need rebuilt if you bought the bike with the cobra pipes on it an aftermarket jet kit has already been installed after time the aftermarket needles wear out and or wear out the emulsion tubes. i had the exact problem tried every thing coils, igniter box etc. check out GMAN INDUSTRIES. COM they will solve your problem. or sell you genuine mikuni parts with the correct jets, pilot screws, and needles.

HI if this is a bike with carbs then I would highly suggest rejetting them with the after market pipes, if it has injectors then I would recomend checking to see if a power commander is availible for the bike so that you can tune the fuel curve, it will help with the performance as well as your fuel problem

2004 Suzuki Intruder VL1500 not running good at cruising speed?
If the spark plugs are black, it is running rich, end of story, you are dumping too much fuel. You need someone that can do carb tuning on the bike. There is help in the Volusia Forums and it appears to be a known issue..

My 2002 suzuki intruder 1500vl is backfiring on the back cylnder y is that
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.

If it's running rich already, a bigger jet will just make it run even richer.

As far as the rear cylinder running hotter, that's just the nature of the beast with a V-Twin engine, because the front cylinder blocks the airflow to the rear.

2000 VZ800 marauder runs mostly on one cylinder
It seems there is too much of fuel going into the non firing cylinder thus the blackish spark plug, recheck the float level to that carburater and also check the valve clearance.

Fouling of the spark plug makes the exhaust extremely hot due to the burning of the fuel mixture inside the exhaust pipe and the spark plug end turn to black, fouling of the spark plug may be due to too rich fuel mixture check the correct setting of the air valve.

Does it smell rich like gas isn't being burnt and coming out the tail pipe? If so then it's probably the spark plugs. Actually I bet you any money it is. They're cheap and easy to replace, give it a try.

Plugs are black aft.mrkt pipes bike runs good
Factory recommended plugs are the best. Ask your local dealer, and he will give you the correct plugs. If you are fouling plugs, look for a too rich mixture, or carbs flooding.
