The fuel petcock may be the problem. It works by opening a valve to let gas reach the carbs. It does this using a vacuum diaphragm drawing vacuum from the carbs. A gs500 will not work very well without an airfilter either. The carbs rely on proper vacuum to operate and a poor or no air filter will make a gs500 run very bad. Gs500s are air cooled also. If none of this solves the problem do a major tune up. Still nothing then take it to a mechanic. Taking shots in the dark gets expensive.
Well one area I recommend you to check is the power jets in the carb. Overall check your jettings because you are starving on high end. To test try closing your choke half way and see if that gives you more pull ower over 6K rev. Good enough?
99% of all 200cc MC engines
engine oil and transmission is all in one
the lost users guide is clear on that, get one.
or ask your shop of advice, on service?

MARK,TO DIY A MOTOR CYCLE(MODE YOU OUT OF CARS)
BUY THE SHOP SERVICE MANUAL
FIRST.
twin cylinder V engine, v2.
wow google sees free one, first hit 454 pages in fact
lets see what spark page shows.
an amazing book here , vast quality!!!
wow it even has trouble codes.
page396, spark ECU schematic 9-20actual
2 fuses and 3 switches to fail, even kick stand switch.
just 1 CKP sensor.
a volt meter test finds which switch or fuse is bad.

moved yah out of cars. to MC
MC, have many switches to fail here. (called safeties)
using voltmeter and service manual is short work.
lacking that is GUE$$ING slog.
battery bad or intemittant or lugs rusty /loose
starter button bad.
fuse blown
key switch bad
neutral switch bad.
kick stand switch bad. (each bad means wires to it bad too)
clutch lever switch bad.
starter relay bad.
starter bad. (can be hot wire tested, key in pocket)
You have replaced the battery, the rect/reg twice and the stator twice. Wiring is thought to be OK the only part not checked is the magnetic rotor. These rarely go wrong, to see if it is showing a strong magnetic force try putting a screwdriver blade near it.
Some bikes used to have brushes in the alternator similar to a car set up these can cause problems if worn or loose. If yours is a 2 part (air gap) alternator having just the rotor and stator try this. Unplug the alternator connector that links to the reg/rect. Get a multimeter and set to continuity ohms find a good earth point on the bike and connect the black meter lead to it touch the red lead to each contact in the alternator connector in turn if you get no reading or buzz from the meter the stator is OK. I would then look at the battery. Make sure the battery is able to be charged, do not use a car charger ever, you need a charger that is for motorcycle use only, less than 1 amp output. Never try to jump start the bike from another vehicle, when removing the battery disconnect negative first when fitting the battery connect positive first. Good luck.
The most likely thing is a sticking clutch. With the ignition off, can you drop it into second gear and push it with the clutch pulled in? You say you put 'new petrol' in, so it sounds like it has been stored for a while. Clutches will often stick as the clutch plates have been under pressure for so long. Fully warm the engine before moving off until the plates free up.And it looks like you probably mean VS1400 not VS400!There is help herehttps://www.google.com/search?q=suzuki+intruder+vs1400+stalls+when+put+in+gear..
Are there any other light on the dash display? FI refers to the Fuel Injection system. If it is on and staying on it is possibly an electronics fault detected by the ECU, (Electronics Control Unit). You should get a good mechanic to look at this as they will have the correct diagnostic tools.
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..

That is difficult, because basically, you have bought a custom bike. Normally adjusting hydraulic brakes comes in 3 parts.
Make sure there is material on the brake pads.
Make sure free play is taken up if they have an adjuster.
Make sure there is no air in the system.
There is some generic help in the link.

When a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 motorcycle spins over but doesn't crank and there is no fire, meaning no spark, it indicates a potential issue with the ignition system. Here are a few common causes to consider:
1. Faulty spark plugs: Check the spark plugs to ensure they are in good condition. If they are worn out, fouled, or damaged, they may not produce a spark. Replace any faulty spark plugs and ensure they are properly gapped.
2. Ignition coil failure: The ignition coil is responsible for generating the high voltage needed to create a spark at the spark plugs. If the ignition coil is faulty or damaged, it may not produce the necessary spark. Consider testing or replacing the ignition coil if necessary.
3. Ignition switch or wiring issue: Inspect the ignition switch and associated wiring for any loose connections, damaged wires, or faulty switches. A problem in the ignition circuit can prevent the spark from being generated. Repair or replace any faulty components as needed.
4. Faulty ignition control module: The ignition control module (ICM) controls the timing and delivery of the spark. If the ICM is defective, it may not send the signal to the ignition coil to generate a spark. Testing or replacing the ICM may be necessary.
5. Fuel delivery issue: While the symptom you described seems to indicate a lack of spark, it's worth checking the fuel system as well. Ensure the fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel and that the fuel lines are not clogged or kinked.
It is recommended to consult a professional motorcycle mechanic or authorized Suzuki service center to diagnose and fix the issue. They will have the expertise and necessary equipment to accurately diagnose the problem with your 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 and perform any required repairs.
