1993 Suzuki VS 800 Intruder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Ensure your choke cable is retracting properly. I had that on an old Honda and tried everything till I spotted the cable getting trapped under the tank. Look at the top of the carbs and wiggle the choke. If its sticking use something like Castrol LM grease or Coppa Slip as these last longer than WD40 releasing oil.

Charge the battery again, Let it set for a little while and then use a voltage tester or multimeter to check the voltage on the battery believe it or not a good 12 volt battery should put out about 13 Volts less than12 Volts is a bad battery

Hi, if you let out your clutch lever and the engine is running and the bike is in gear, does the bike move at all? Did this problem come on suddenly or did you think something might be going on with the clutch for a while? Did you drain the oil to find the metal flakes?

easiest way,,,,send it to a mechanic

If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position, the antifreeze and coolant will not flow through engine block and radiator and you will have overheating condition.

Check battery, check connections corrosion causes bad connection. Double check starter button switch, it may be bad. You may be able to verify this switch by "jumper" bypass of the switch..

Securely elevate rear wheel. Place in gear, this helps with installation also. Remove axle nut and axle. Pay attention to spacers internal and external. If drum brakes disconnect cable,if disc remove caliper. Good luck

Most likely a carb synchronaztion or improper throttle cable arrangement problem. This is a very complex procedure and should be performed by someone with experience in this task.I am assuming that the bike has not sat up for a long period of time, as you say it idles fine which would indicate no clogged slow jets in carbs.

drain the coolant undo the top and bottom radiator pipes undo the 4 bolts holding it in place get it repaired and put back together in the reverse proceedure

Two things, it could be the cable that has jammed between inner and outer. Remove the cable from the system and check it if it does work.( the cable should move freely with out much of resistance) if not than it has to be realeased or replaced.If the cable does run freely than there is a problem at the carburator chole linkage, check that out too.

look for bad safty switch on clutch lever two wires disconect and connect two wires going to the switch should start quickly

the wires are hooked up the wrong way or backwards.

Just hold it out for a minute. or replace the cable.

Sounds like the float is sticking in the carb on the rear cylinder,washing the cylinder with fuel,and possibly going into the crankcase oil. The carbs will need to be removed,cleaned,set-up,and synchronized.Be sure to change your oil as well. The gas has most likely mixed with the engine oil,and will cause you to spin a bearing or worse.Good Luck!

radiator is a very important part of the engine its function is to cool the cylinder and to keep the engine temprature under control so that the engine rins for loger hoirs if the cooling mechanism is removed engine will get hot soon and will loose power and on high temprature the engine may cease to function So it is not advisable to drive with out the radiator

Your kickstand switch is either broken or out of position. The bike kills the engine as a safety feature if it thinks the sidestand is down and the bike is put in gear while the engine is running.

Hi, check valve clearence, by description they're not opening enough to alow explosion gases to go away fas enough .
good luck

The stock plug is NGK brand, DPR8EA-9

Hi,,check your float level,,as you have changed the floats the level will need adjusting,,
