You do not need to alter anything except the chain, increasing the tooth on the front sprocket and decreasing the tooth on the rear will give you more top end, remember more teeth longer chain required, less teeth shorter chain!!
Hello, my name is Todd.
Check any and all Battery cables for corrosion or looseness. A lot of times this can be due to corrosion or a bad ground. If the fuses are ok and the battery is good then this may be the problem. Also have the battery load tested, even though the battery has 12.8 volts it could have bad cells in it and cause this problem also. I’m happy to help further over the phone at

The first problem happens in 3 cases:
1 - when the gears aren't properly shifted - there are multiple ones engaged (or better said, partially engaged) so the transmission is locked and it stalls the engine. Simple test to see if it's this problem: without starting the engine shift in first and try to push the bike - if you encounter an excessive resistance you will know that the shifter mechanism needs adjusting.
2 - if the idle is too weak or the mixture too lean the smallest additional effort is enough to kill the engine - you will have to check the carburetors and the air filter
3 - the kill switch (the one that prevents the starting of the engine in any other position than neutral) is faulty - replace it
The second problem is caused by a faulty electrical contact - start searching for it from the kill switch and then the contact key switch.
Backfires when decelerating. cuts out
The description fits with a lean air/fuel mixture; more air than the amount of gas that is going to the engine really needs. With the laws Congress enacted several years ago, the only people who are supposed to be working on anything that can affect the air/fuel ratio of our motor vehicles are the certified mechanics trained to perform that kind of work. (Thank you, EPA.)
The official recommendation is to take the Suzuki to your local Suzuki dealer. Sorry.
Am looking for the fuel
Hi and welcome to the site,
There is no separate fuel filter for the VL, VS and VZ series. The only fuel filter is an integral part of the fuel c0ck that attaches to the tank. Inside is a tubular screen attachment that covers the fuel outlet port.
Good luck and thank you for asking.
Noise at 45 to 50
Hi...
A tech needs to hear and see the machine to determine the source of the sounds. Need to perform a process of elimination of checks to offer an accurate diagnosis.
Use the below listed charts to try and diagnose the problem yourself.
Abnormal Engine Noise:
Knocking:
IC igniter trouble
Carbon built up in combustion chamber
Fuel poor quality or incorrect
Spark plug incorrect
Overheating
Piston slap:
Cylinder/piston clearance excessive
Cylinder, piston worn
Connecting rod bent
Piston pin, piston holes worn
Valve noise:
Engine not sufficiently warmed up after lash adjuster installation
Hydraulic lash adjuster damaged (worn, seizure, or spring broken)
Air in hydraulic lash adjuster
Metal chips or dust dammed in hydraulic lash adjuster
Engine operated in red zone
Valve spring broken or weak
Camshaft bearing worn
Thanks

First things first, change the oil and hope that fixes itl even if it isn't, you really should do it anyway so there's not much downside to giving it a try. The wrong quantity or grade can cause engine noise like you desribe. If it was sitting for a long time, the oil could welll have degraded as well.
Where is the rectifier located on my 2004 suzuki katana 600
Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

Why my Suzuki TF 125 losses power in the midway? What are the causes for such loss of power?
What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap?
Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

You can't, the computerized system is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do, Steal the bike without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram or over-ride the computer. You need a bike electrician.

Where is air/fuel screw on a suzuki vs 800 intruder
The air/fuel mixture screw on a Suzuki VS800 Intruder is typically located on the carburetor. To adjust the air/fuel mixture, you'll need to locate the carburetor and look for a small screw that can be turned.
Keep in mind that the exact location of the screw may vary slightly depending on the model year and specific carburetor version on your VS800 Intruder. Generally, it is located on the bottom or side of the carburetor.
Here are the general steps to locate and adjust the air/fuel mixture screw:
1. Locate the Carburetor: The carburetor is usually positioned on the side or underside of the engine. Follow the intake manifold or air filter housing to find the carburetor.
2. Identify the Air/Fuel Screw: Look for a small screw on the carburetor. This screw is typically flat-headed and may be recessed. It is often located near the bottom of the carburetor.
3.Adjustment: With the engine running at idle, use a screwdriver to turn the air/fuel mixture screw. Turning it clockwise (in) usually leans out the mixture, while turning it counterclockwise (out) enriches the mixture.
4. Listen to the Engine: As you make adjustments, listen to the engine's sound. The goal is to find the point where the engine runs smoothly and the idle is stable.
5. Fine-Tune: Make small adjustments and give the engine a moment to respond before making further changes. It's a process of trial and error to find the optimal setting.
6. Check the Owner's Manual: Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for specific guidance on the location and adjustment of the air/fuel mixture screw. The manual will provide information tailored to your bike's make and model.
If you're uncomfortable making these adjustments yourself or if you're unsure about the location of the screw, it's advisable to consult a professional mechanic or refer to the specific service manual for your Suzuki VS800 Intruder.

2005 Suzuki 250 refuse to start even after replacing kickster and battery.
f your 2005 Suzuki 250 is refusing to start even after replacing the kickstarter and battery, there could be several other potential issues to consider. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you diagnose and resolve the problem:
- Check the Fuel: Ensure that your motorcycle has an adequate supply of fuel in the tank. Sometimes, an empty tank or a clogged fuel filter can prevent the engine from starting.
- Inspect the Spark Plug: A fouled or damaged spark plug can hinder ignition. Remove the spark plug, inspect it for fouling, and replace it if necessary. Also, check the spark plug wire for any damage or loose connections.
- Examine the Air Filter: A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow and affect engine performance. Inspect the air filter, and if it's dirty, clean or replace it.
- Verify the Ignition System: Ensure that the ignition system is functioning correctly. Check for spark by removing the spark plug, grounding it against the engine, and cranking the engine while observing for a spark. If there's no spark, the ignition system may need attention.
- Inspect the Carburetor: A malfunctioning carburetor can cause starting issues. Check for clogs, blockages, or a stuck float valve. Cleaning or rebuilding the carburetor may be necessary.
- Verify the Fuel System: Ensure that fuel is reaching the carburetor. Check for fuel flow by disconnecting the fuel line at the carburetor and cranking the engine briefly. Fuel should flow from the line.
- Compression Test: Low compression can also prevent the engine from starting. Perform a compression test to check the engine's compression levels. If compression is low, it may indicate internal engine problems that require professional attention.
- Electrical Connections: Ensure that all electrical connections are secure, including those to the starter motor and solenoid. Loose or corroded connections can prevent the starter from engaging.
- Safety Switches: Some motorcycles have safety switches like a kickstand switch or a clutch lever switch. Ensure that these switches are not preventing the bike from starting when they shouldn't be.
- Professional Inspection: If you've checked all of the above and still can't identify the issue, it may be best to have a qualified motorcycle mechanic or technician inspect your bike. They have the expertise and tools to diagnose and fix more complex problems.
