Top 20 2002 Suzuki VZ 800 Marauder Questions & Answers

A loose wire connection to the spark plug could cause it to misfire, which can lead to a loss of power and poor engine performance. However, it is unlikely to be related to the fuse issue you described. It's more likely that there is a short circuit or another electrical issue causing the fuse to blow. You may want to check the wiring for any damage or shorts and ensure that all connections are secure and properly grounded. If you're not comfortable with electrical work, it's recommended that you take your bike to a qualified mechanic or electrician for diagnosis and repair.

Sound like a mixture problem, fuel air mix, you must be gettng too much air for fuel going in, you need to find the mixture screw on carb, my thought are to increase the fuel, but it could be the opposite, play around either way, best of luck, vic

It sounds like your starter is taking to many amps to crank so I would change your starter.

better chec wiring soon cause theres hi amperage--look carefully for any flaws like rips and corrosion--buy a clymer book for trublshoot procedure

To check the oil level, look at the site glass at the bottom of the motor

When you say "the fuses at the relay", I'm taking that to mean the system fuses located behind the left crankcase cover just aft of the coolant reservior. Have you checked the main 30 amp fuse located under the saddle? There should be two 30 amp fuses under the saddle; one is a spare, the other is active. If the main fuse blows out, nothing will work.

Hi and welcome to the site,

Initially, if the battery has been charged and load tested to be good, then check the 30A main fuse. This is of course assuming that the bike is dead electrically. The main fuse would be located in the starter relay. To locate the starter relay, follow the cable from the battery's + terminal.

Good luck and thank you for asking.

As strange as it may seem, there isn't one.

My first thought is to get a locksmith to make a new key for the bike. A Suzuki dealer might be able to make one too. I know GM can (or could) make a new key if you gave them the vehicle identification number. You can also buy an aftermarket key switch and keys from most parts stores.If you insist on messing up the wiring on your bike pull the switch so you can see what you are doing. One wire will run directly from the positive terminal on the battery and will be hot. Hook a jumper from the always hot wire to the wire that leads to the ignition system. That is your on/off switch. Hook a second jumper to the always hot terminal and touch it to the wire leading to the starter solenoid lead. That is your start button. Good Luck.

The VZ 800 ,has a linkage system ,it can be adjsted to suit your needs .Firstly , your linkage attaches to the front foot lever.on the other end the linkage attaches to the actual gear box.Its this part that you need to adjust ,Undo the bolt that holds the linkage bracket to the gearbox spline. slide the bracket of the spline .undo all the adjusting screws on the linkage rod ,position the gearbox linkage unit to the required angle you need to position the foot lever to the popsition you want and the adjust the linkage rod to suit the distance between the garebox liinkage unit and foot change.

First, it sounds simple, but do you have the correct bulb with two filaments? Otherwise you should look for a loose wire, or corroded lead.

Test coils and stator. If no power to coils, test stator, if there is power to coils, then replace coils if they don't provide a spark

hi buddy right 1 st take the carbs off then unscrew the 2-4 screws holding the float bowl in once all screws are out pull the bottom off and your left with the float this float needs adjusting take the pin out that holds the float in then pul the float off realising the inlet fuel valve is still connected take this off and bend the tab upwards in its upright condition a bit just a tad if you do it too much this will restrict the amount off fuel in engine get back to me if not ok
