Top 20 2002 Suzuki VL 1500 Intruder LC Questions & Answers

Bleed the clutch's hydraulic system fully ... you must remove all air from/in your lines / cylinders / actuators... ect ect use a high quality dot 3 or dot 4 synthetic hydraulic fluid as per manufacturer's recommendations.... good luck if this does not correct issue then a fresh clutch pack may be in order but bleed system fully before replacement of any components if you have never bled a hydraulic system before then review the many videos of this operation on youtube watch a couple of them to fully understand how to bleed a clutch....Best of luck to you.

Fit a pressure gauge to the fuel line and check pressure, pressure must hold with the engine stopped, if not check the pressure regulator and the non return valve in the fuel pump.If all ok there check for injector leak.

When it shuts off while driving, a vacuum in the gas tank can built up when the gas cap is restricting ventilation. The power regulator may be at fault as well. Have you checked the ignition coil for power? Is it going to the spark plugs?

Double check your battery to be sure that you bought the right kind. Also double check the reg/rec. This device is what is primarily responsible for the charging being correct. Overcharging should fall squarely on the shoulders of the reg/rec. if you didn't already replace it with a brand new part I'd still think that was the problem. If you did replace it, I suppose it is possible for your alternator to be broken and producing an absurd amount of energy, but I doubt it.

This could be any number of things. First consider the most obvious. Change the rear spark plug. Then check the compression in the rear cylinder. If compression is low, it could be a valve sticking or a piston ring wore or a hole in cylinder. If compress is alright, rebuild carbs. I would check out options in a row. I don't think it could be a be the stator or regulator. But it could be. Those would need to be checked out by dealer. Hope tis helps.

I HAD A '98 THAT DID THAT. I REBUILT THE CARBURETORS AND THAT FIXED IT. I THINK WHEN I GAVE IT THE GAS IT WOULD FLOOD OUT OR SOMETHING. HOPE IT HELPS YOU. g

check fork tube for seal leakage

Had the same problem - stock battery simply doesn't have enough cranking power. I've replaced with Shorai Lithium/Iron Phosphate battery and resolved the problem (but a bit pricey - I paid over $140 for battery)

Check your fuses... If the wires touched whole the key was on you probably blew a fuse...

MOST probably just a loose connector - remove the meter and fuel inlet cover (center chrome with speedometer in it) and reach under the front of it - unplug and replug the connector. It has a small clip you need to squeeze to unplug it. If the clip didn't catch, the connector might have just fallen off.

Might be as simple as re-seating the plug to the gauges. I'd certainly try that before tearing anything else apart. Not hard to get to. Remove allen bolts under gas cap cover and 2 on front of chrome tank assembly, plus 3 Philips head around gas cap, and lift assembly. All guage wires are in one plug under front portion of assembly. NOTE: There's a small clip under the rubber boot you need to squeeze to release the plug. Unplug, replug and see what your gauges do (you can test this -before- reassembly) Good Luck!

check all the wires-"clean and tight" it may be a loose wire or bad conection. if thats good it may be the starter or starter solenoid telling you its bad, also check the wires in the starter button on the hanldle bar or the ignition switch

Replace your indicator relay first. if that doesn't fix it then you will need a new indicator switch.

you may have to remove the light out of the case and tighten the holding nut inside.

That would depend on the specific throttle grip. If you want new grips just look for those to fit your bike. Remember, the grips stretch cos they are flexible.

youtube vl1500 not starting, u'll find a vid on adjusting decompresion cable slack. also if more than 20k miles u might need to replace jets and needles. check all vaccum lines and 1 vaccum plug on each carb for cracks( one is hedden by choke slide.

Keep pressed the starter button and press stop button off/on. It took me two days to find it:)

My 1999 model does - found easily under the seat (4 bolts to remove seat.)
