SOURCE: 1995 Suzuki DR650 still running rough

sounds to me like your jets are running rough, wich makes you loose power and make the bike run like sh*t, so simple re-jet it (65-75 dollars) and it will be running like a charm again

SOURCE: Bike stalls from time to time

the fuel filter is inside the tank, be sure your thorughly cleaned the tank of expired gasoline, clean the jettings again on the carb, those are so tiny particles you think cleaned already. Change the hoses too, they have a life span and the particles from the old hoses goes to the jettings. Your prob is definitely fuel based prob

Take the carburetors apart and either rebuild them or clean them thoroughly.

SOURCE: Suzuki TS125R (1994 model), not TS185: Trouble starting

It sounds like the air/fuel mixture setting is not correct i dont know the setting for a ts125 but you can always go to ebay.com and buy a service manual for that bike and it will tell you all the correct settings for the carb.

Ignition timing is preset and only very badly worn camchain or valve-train issue would have an effect.

You may have a problem with the floatbowl height.
It is an incremental fix, in that you set it and see how it responds.

The fuel availability is governed by the height of the float levels. This can be adjusted by bending the small brass tab on the float spindle. Try adding more fuel first, or bend tab upwards very slightly. you don't have to remove the carby every time, just loosen the front and back manifold clamps and rotate carby so you can acces float chamber screws. The float pin can be pulled out and tab reset. Don't forget to turn fuel off and have a spill tray ready when undoing floatbowl drainplug each time.
Site below has exploded view of the carby with part names, links to all sections of the bike.
Clean all the jets with a carburetor solvent and check fuel line for perishing. Are inlet manifolds in good condition and not have a chalky feel on the insides, they should be shiny and feel slippery for efficient results.

Goodluck, cheers!

I MY SISTER HAS 2006 SUZUKI INTRUDER, EVERY YEAR IN THE SPRING HER MOTOR CYCLE HAS TO HAVE A TUNE UP. IT BACK FIRES, RUNS ROUGH, MISFIRE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SHE COULD USE A FUEL ADDITIVE OR NOT. ALSO...

Hi, is this after the bike has been away for the winter, these bikes Are designed to run on modern fuels, the intruder normaly runs fine , good advice would be to replace the spark plugs and drain the fuel from the carburettor float bowls by undoing the drain screws in the bottom of each carb, prior to using the bike after the winter, you may also check the condition of the air filter located on the left hand side of the engine under the chrome cover

Hard to start,new bike only 20 miles carb clean valves correct comp good great spark.all work done by factory suzuki tech. dealersphip stmppppped! new bike should run

If you have a good spark and fuel is getting to the cylinders ,check commpression .If compression is good ,Try rubbing pencil lead over plug points ,( This will give a greater spark ) or heat up plugs on gas ring till hot and replace quickly while plugs still hot ..Don't forget to wear gloves.Get a friend to help .and cut down the time of putting plugs back in engine .

2001 nomad, has power commander, vance and hinse exhaust and hyper charger. Bike starts but miss fires. Bike seems to run better uphill then down hill. It started on day on a ride when the bike just died...

DRAIN CARBS FROM PETCOCK AT BOTTOM OF EACH CARB MAKE SURE FUEL DRAINS COMPLETELY THEN TURN FUEL BACK ON, IF THIS IS AN INJECTED MODEL DRAIN TANK AND FLUSH THEN RUN IT HARD FOR 20 MILES OR SO, MAKE SURE YOUR OIL LEVEL IS OK

Misfiring 2007 Honda VFR 800

I would say that your bike may be running a little lean. I usually replace the jets on all my bikes as soon as I get them as the emissions requirements mandate that the manufacturers pass stringent emissions tests prior to the dealer selling them. Some bikes wont even idle or run, especially off road bikes from places like California. and in these cases you must re jet it is a must! I even throw away or drill larger holes into my air cleaner cover.

Good Luck!
