2004 Suzuki VL 1500 Intruder will not start when hot

SOURCE: CHANGING PLUGS IN 2001 1500

dear sir have your battery tested with a volt meter should read 12.7 volts if batt is good. it sounds like your batt is low on voltage.

Sounds like your starter might be going out.  Sometimes when they start to go bad they will not start properly when they are hot.  When you give it time to cool down it will start right back up.  The other thing it could be would be a coil pack because they will do the same thing but I would think if it was the pack that you would have problems with it shutting down while you were running.  Take the starter to your auto parts store and have them test it several times to simulate being hot and see what they say.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

Check the battery posts. on mine the posts were grounding out on the metal case the battery is in. If so cut out some rubber and put under the Pos and Neg posts where it goes over the case.

You need to make sure that the grounds for the body and motor are good. Sometimes just turning the bolt will clean them up but better to remove, clean and replace. Also make sure battery terminals and wires are clean and secure. Hope this helps and have a great day.
