2004 Suzuki VL 800 Volusia - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I changed my front tire
Hi, it sounds like the wheel is not in the centre of the forks, check the spacers are in the correct location, left and right,
My only problem is I
The horn is behind the radiator, it looks like a small black dome. The horn sometimes stops working when it gets dirty so if that's your problem you may be able to fix it by just reaching in and cleaning the unit.
No idea if Suzuki's are built by hand.
I intended on changing spark
Get a spark plug socket that has a rubber insert to hold the plug when removed or inserted. Go ahead and remove the gas tank but be CERTAIN to mark the hoses as to what goes where. This should allow you to locate the loose wire connection.

That sounds like it is an adjustable lever to be adjusted by the numbers to fit your hand size. Large hands lever farther away from the handlebar. Smaller hands lever set closer to the bars.

Next storage cycle, add some fuel stabilizer to the remaining gas; works well.
Try giving the engine a shot of engine starting fluid (ether). Buy it at any parts store or most department stores.
2007 Honda Shadow 750 Vs.
Hi, they are both fantastic bike i would personally like to have but since you only want one of them, i will advise you get the 2002 Suzuki VL 800 which share almost similar specification in terms of the engine and transmission with the 2007 Honda Shadow 750 but the 2002 Suzuki VL 800 is older and stronger with better engine performance and value for money than the Honda
The Suzuki is also cost effective when it comes to repair and accident low risk because of it reliability....
Rattle or clatter under excelleration
It may be your crome covers on your heads. Take your fingers and try to wiggle them . All of these bikes
have some kind of a rattle to them. Most not visible . I have found these covers to be the most often the
problem . You have to tighten just snug . Some times the rubber spacer on the bolts get damaged and
some come up missing.

You can do most anything with a hacksaw and a drill. But... stop and ask yourself if you really want to ****** up a $700 set of mufflers. Will the butchered bike sell better or worse when you sell it? When the chrome is cut the metal will begin to rust. Not pretty in a buyers eyes. Instead of going for Loud and Proud, why not go for Quick and Quiet? Installing a race cam would be more fun and would increase the resale price. Just food for thought.
Removal of rear wheel on
In
order to remove the rear wheel assembly, you are going to need a
motorcycle lifting jack stand or similar device.
1. Stand the bike on the side stand
On the left side of the rear wheel:
2. Remove the 2 froward facing bolts.
3. Remove the allen head bolt with the wide head.
On the right side of the rear wheel:
4. Remove the brake adjuster nut on the end of the actuating lever.
5. Remove the Toque link nut at the bottom of the wheel assembly.
6. Remove the axle nut (castle nut and cotter pin).
7. Place the motorcycle jack under the swing arm or chassis tubes to
stabilize the rear end.
8. Remove the axle.
9. Remove the axle from the splined drive gear and place the wheel
assembly on the ground.
10. Pull the wheel assembly rearward.
Reverse the process to replace the wheel.
Gas leak where gas line
There are rebuild kits for most petcocks on bikes. I think the average kit is around 25 bucks, but sometimes as much a 40. Depending upon how much you have to spend or how much you care, there are a few gasket sealers that may work too. I've had luck with the 1 minute gasket sealer before, but gasoline is pretty harsh on anything like that. If you take it apart (should just be a couple of screws on the backside) see if you can find anything damaged and that the diaphragm is working. If not, replace that thing. If it is, well you can try and go the cheap route and use the sealer around the edge. Don't get a ton of it on there since it will break off inside if the excess goes there, and that can plug things up. Good luck..

Check your fuse box, your main fuse is probably blown. Some times the main fuse is located on or by the starter solenoid. If all the fuses are good you may be having problems with a dirty or broken contact base on your ignition switch.
