2004 Suzuki VL 800 Volusia - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

check your kill switch and your kick stand switch if one of them are bad the bike will turn over and not start

if this is on the handlbar - not right at the carb - there are probably some adjuster ( to compensate for streched cable ) loose these off - probably at both ends - you should be able get the cable nipple out of the socket - why was it stuck - is the cable damaged - or does it just need a good oiling

Here is what I would do ... understanding the expense and aggrivation of changing the dad-burned float and what else that will lead to. Fill your tank every 100 miles and forget the gauge.

Sounds like you may need new clutch friction discs and plates. If they have been slipped,or are getting excessively hot,then they will warp the plates,and scorch the friction discs.

Have you run a engine fault code test? If not that is the 1st thing you need to do to address this problem. This testing requires a dealer scan tool.

ur trying to take the ignition off ur bike

clutch cable mite not be releaseing to start

i really dont get it

another way to solve the fast flashing is to have all led incators and they should flash at the same speed

Remove the allen head screw just behind buddy seat and lift it off. Remove the screw just behind the rider seat and lift back of seat and slide back and up.

if its the same as the k5 (05) then there is no switch, just the light in the speedo cluster on the tank....

Found this in the Suzuki VZ800K5 Manual.\:

speed reaches 8000 r/min during running, this circuit cuts off fuel at the fuel injector."

Found this in the Suzuki VZ800K4 Manual ... The 04 does NOT have FI but this performs as I said above..

Before replacing ignition, take VIN to the Suzuki dealer and ask if the have the replacement key for your particular bike. They should be able to help you. Around my home, locksmiths are not cheap, so if you can get the key from the dealer, you will be better off than changing the ignition or getting a locksmith.

have you checked spark?
