2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 - Page 2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

your going to need a motorcycle lift or another way to get the front wheel off the ground and hold the bike safely. then remove the capiler from the front forks. once that is done. remove the cap to axle bolt and some have a second hold down bolt. my vl1500 has two bolts. 1 for the axle and a second to hold it in place. when removing the axle becareful to remember the location of the inserts for spacers. they can only go one way or the tire will bind up. might be a good idea to label the spacers with a maker and use an arrow to know which way it was pointing to help when putting it back together. and when you get the caliper off I use a screw driver to move the pads apart to make it easy to pull the caliper out of the way. when its back together. pump the brake handle a couple times to build the pressure up and seat the brake pads again. if not you wont have brakes when you try to stop.

Either the battery has internal connection problems or your battery connections need cleaning at each end. The next time power is lost, leave on and use a volt meter to bridge or bypass each battery cable from battery terminal to ground or battery terminal to fuse box. If voltage is present with the bypass probes you have found your problem.

two.

nowhere. you have to buy em from suzuki

All you do is turn the key to the open position and then remove the cap as you normally would. Some do have a spring that make you hold the key in the open position as you turn it.

Rather than try and answer your question since I'm not exactly sure whether you want to remove the "TIRE" or the "WHEEL" of your motorcycle, (I do realize that you stated TIRE in your question), I'd recommend you click on this link www.motorcycleforum.com/showthread.php?t=86436 and then click on "Join".

Should be bottom center of the engine.

It's unlikely to be a fuse but they should be located under the seat or beside the battery. Personally I'd start with the bulbs. if they're okay then check for power going to the handlebar switch as the connections often get bunged up. Fiddle around with the loom for a bad connection, then maybe the flasher relay (small silver coloured box with spade connections beside the battery). If it's none of the above then possibly a broken wire along the loom, check continuity with a multimeter.

remove from bike. groung body of starter. attach 12v + to bolt on outside. if it turns its good

Easy. Use the left button in your instrument panel to select your trip A or B, then hold down the right button for a couple of seconds until it resets.

It's sorta involved. The procedure is in the Clymer Manual M260-2 on starting on page 276. It has pictures also. How adept are you performing repairs on your bike?

As long as the oil does not have the "energy saving" designation in the rating emblem, synthetic work just fine in the Boulevard.

Pretty straight forward. Disconnect the negative at the battery. Note the wires on the starter, disconnect them and unbolt the starter, and pull it out. There usually are not any shims or spacers, although they do put them in at the factory to make up for inconsistencies. I would install the new one with any shims or spacers. If there aren't any don't worry about it. Bolt the new one in, reasonably tight, a rule of thumb is tight with a 3/8 ratchet or hand wrench holding it midway. It's not an aircraft carrier so it doesn't have to be as tight as tight can go. Reconnect your negative cable and you're good to go.

There should be two small philips screws on each side of the bezel. Remove those screws, then turn the bezel slightly counter-clockwise (if you're facing the front of the bike) and if should pop loose and pull out.

Hi Lew, I have this video for you on how to check the starter of your machine. Hope it helps. how to test starter Ask com Web Search

it could be your oil level light as the road was bumpy it just could be the oil moving away from sender

Other than a dead battery, most problems are caused by battery cable connections and the neg. cable connection to the frame. Next to check are relays. (Review your owner's manual for type and location). Pull relays and re-seat. That may help. Then check the key switch. You'll need a good multimeter to test circuits. Some newer motorcycles' electrical functions are controlled by microchips inbedded on circuit boards. The only fix is to replace.

make sure the fuel pump is pumping fuel by taking off the feed pipe , then turn the ignition on and see if any fuel comes out ( into a container ) ! try the same when cranking the engine also and see what happens !

sound like the harness may have a bad connector in the loom your wireing digram would allow you to find all connection points. you may be able to by pass the problem.
