On your carbs on bottom side there are adjustment screws for fuel/air mix,if your air cleaner is clean and haveing this problem,you will have to get to these screws and turn them clockwise 1/8 turn to lean carbs out,it might take a few trys,so reading the spark plugs is good indicater,looking for tanish brown in color,black is rich,white is lean.

2004 Suzuki Intruder VL1500 not running good at cruising speed?

If the spark plugs are black, it is running rich, end of story, you are dumping too much fuel. You need someone that can do carb tuning on the bike. There is help in the Volusia Forums and it appears to be a known issue..

My bike is ruuning rich

What kind of bike and has any work or aftermarket accessories recently been done? If not, check your air filter and clean thoroughly if needed. Look for abstruction in airbox and passages to carburator. has the carburator been adjusted in any way? If not the problem is most likely a lack of air rather than excessive fuel

Plugs are black aft.mrkt pipes bike runs good

Factory recommended plugs are the best. Ask your local dealer, and he will give you the correct plugs. If you are fouling plugs, look for a too rich mixture, or carbs flooding.

Back firing & cutting out

If a stock intruder is running rich it must have a restriction in the air filter or a problem with the carbs. These bike are always way too lean from the factory. Check to make sure the filters are not plugged up. Also if it is truly rich it will start and run well without the choke on. You may have inricheners that need adjusted.
