2000 suzuki intruder 1500cc. With both decompression cables released, the front decompression lever feels like it is against something when I turn it by hand.

The front choke on a motorcycle is typically used to help start the engine by enriching the fuel mixture when the engine is cold. The choke is usually controlled by a lever or button located near the throttle, and is typically only needed when starting the engine from a cold state.

To connect the front choke on a 2000 Suzuki Intruder 1400, you will need to locate the choke cable and follow it to the carburetor or throttle body. The choke cable will typically have a small lever or plunger at the carburetor end, which is connected to the choke mechanism inside the carburetor or throttle body.

To connect the choke cable, you will need to attach one end of the cable to the lever or button near the throttle, and the other end to the lever or plunger at the carburetor end. Make sure the cable is properly seated in the levers or plungers and can move freely.

It's important to note that every motorcycle is different, and the specific choke mechanism on a 2000 Suzuki Intruder 1400 may differ from the general information I have provided. If you are having difficulty connecting the choke on your motorcycle, it is always best to consult a service manual or a wiring diagram specific to your make and model.

I found this for VL800

manual states 185 to 242 psi nominal compression for either VL 800 engine.

Add a dessert spoon of clean engine oil and do the compression test again. You also have to make sure the decompression system is working correctly.

The fuses are under the chrome cover where you add oil.

That isn't that bad, it all depends on the way you ride.

Check your battery connections make sure they are clean and tight.
Check your battery depending on how long you have had it, it may be time to replace it.

Replace the battery if it has any age on it. Sometimes batteries can test out good but can still not have enough juice to do the job. I went through a bunch of parts and even rebuilt the starter and what fixed it was a new battery. Don't buy cheap batteries either, this is another problem. Just pay the extra and buy a good battery from a motorcycle shop.

THE CLUTCH PLATES COULD BE WORN ALSO THERE ARE ADJUSTMENTS BY THE CLUTCH LEVER TURN IT COUNTER CLOCK WISE TO TAKE SLACK OUT OF THE CLUTCH CABLE

you have a one way bearing that's going bad in the motor it allows the starter to turn only one direction
