2002 Suzuki VS 1400 Intruder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

hi you would be better off upgrading to lockheed or girling brake hoses they are slightly smaller bore than the standard and improve braking by a hell of a lot you can also get them made in what ever size you want

The simplest first thing you can do is make sure the bulbs are good. I doubt it has anything to do with the jumping. It is 12V, right?

If you remove the green cover from the fuse box under the seat, you'll find two 30 amp fuses in there. I don't know which one is the "main". Perhaps they function together in concert, so if one is bad, both are bad. . . I derived this info from youtube, and the video was for a different model, but it was a Suzuki. They are probably similar in wiring. But, full disclosure - I am not a motorcycle guy. Good luck.

Could be low on fluid or a fluid leak or an internal cylinder bypass, or needs bleeding as Steve said. Hope this helps.

Had this problem about a month ago when I replaced my clutch and brake pipes. Ensure bike is in upright position and not on side stand. Cover your grips and tank due to fluid spillage. Use slow motions and pump 10 times depressing the clutch and releasing it fully, before opening nipple. Use only dot 4 or 5 brake fluid. Try by first opening the bleeding nipple, depress clutch, close nipple, release clutch. Do this several times prior to standard bleeding procedure. In my case and I don't know if this was random, but the clutch master's seals collapsed when I removed the pressure in the pipe whilst replacing the clutch and brake pipes. Factory specs say you should replace the brake and clutch pipes every 2 years, so I used braided hoses, they last almost a lifetime in my opinion. It still stays a tedious job bleeding the clutch, so pack a can of patience. In my case I eventually got it right in a unconventional manner. I filled a bleeding bottle(small plastic coke bottle would work fine)with new fluid. I then opened the bleeding nipple (reservoir should be empty when doing this) and gently squeezed fluid through the nipple until it reached the reservoir. This is NOT a recommended procedure as you may damage your master's seal, but I was desperate. After reservoir is full, bleed clutch using standard operating procedure and with a bit of luck you will be having clutch. Hope this helps!

Stuck float or neddle seat valve. remove the carb and clean make sure the float and needle seat are functioning.

It is near the battery box.

Air in clutch hydraulics so bleed it outRide safe Bike-Doc

Please dont be offended but i ride and know a clutch should last for many many more miles. Have you properly adjusted it. If im not mistaken its a mechanical clutch and its easely adjusted at the cable. Good luck

Sounds like you fuel/air mix is too lean and you pilot and or main jets need to be cleaned(assuming carb model)

Flote is stuck try tapping the carb with a screw driver if that don't ya need to remove the carb and clean the flote and needle and seat.. Good luck..

The reason it's lomited is that the bike handles badly at high speeds and if you need to go that fast you need to buy a bike that;s designed to do so. the intion module from an 1999 midile might let it go faster or one built for USA markey but your getting into a possible other problems and the speed might not be the only thing it might not do. Most of the ones for American markey will run 105 MPh so you might be looking for a tunup problem like a clogged air filter or fuel filter or even worn spark plugs or even the wrong ones.

there is a master fuse that controls all the electrics.
look for it under the seat

are both pots firing?

Have you tried the seat lock above the shocks? Turning the key counterclockwise and pulling or pushing the seat to unlatch? Good luck

You need to get a manual, a multimeter, and a few beers and start checking the wiring and switches, and relays.
