@bklyn7188 that could be a few different things, I would do a leak down and a compression test on the cylinder. Or it could be a carburetor problem.

I'm not sure if this will work on an 07. You will need a vac sync to adjust the primary throttle plates. I can't remember which year they started to have to use Idle speed control lock out to do the sync correctly, this is something you have to use a computer to make it happen.

the only way to find out is to use a leak down tester on each cylinder, if you hear air coming from the airbox it's your intake valves, if you hear air from the exhaust pipe it's your exhaust valves, and if you hear air from the crankcase it's your piston rings. Remove the oil filler plug to hear the crankcase.

Interstate speed will have engine rpm at @ 5000 rpm which is much smoother than the 5500 in stock config. Much better riding bike than without changes best improvement I've done to this bike. For those who think it makes the bike underpowered when initially starting out i'm not finding that at all, the bike is smooth and power is totally even and smooth on takeoff. 180 lb rider ........................JB.. @@VStromGarage

Está bien, pero tienes algún fallo en el montaje, el aceite se mide con el cartucho comprimido, o sea, en su posición más baja, veo que después de meter el muelle, vuelves a sacar aceite, eso no se hace, por otra parte, es bueno sacar el cartucho para limpiarlo totalmente, yo me fabricado con un vaso de carraca de 24 y un tubo uno, también un compresor de muelle y un tirador del émbolo del cartucho te facilita mucho el trabajo y son fáciles de hacer, por lo demás, muy bien explicado, todo esto te lo digo con ánimo de ayudar, para nada es una crítica, un saludo ✌️

Hello, thanks for your great video. I have a 2023 DL1050 with 15,000 miles on it. Thanks to your vid, I was confidant I could handle the valve adjust easily enough. I was a professional airplane mechanic for 29 years, and worked on motorcycles for 10 years before that. So I’m not really a backyard mechanic, I have a lifetime of experience. But this was my first time on a V twin. I purchased and read the Suzuki factory service manual, watched your vid several times and figured was ready. It all went just like the manual and your vid showed. Was easy and straight forward. Had to adjust all 8 valves. They were all in spec, but at the very min spec. I wanted them looser than that. After getting it all back together with new plugs and coolant. started it up, and while no bad noises, it was only running on the front cylinder as verified with an infrared heat gun. I took it back apart and verified yes, all the cam timing marks were exactly according to the manual. Any ideas on something I could have missed? Appreciate any advice or tips you could offer… Craig
@VStromGarage9 ай бұрын
Hi Craig, glad the video helped you! I'm sitting here trying to think of what could have gone wrong... When you removed the rear cams did you turn the crank to the front timing marks on the flywheel? other than that, the only thing I can think of is maybe a loose sparkplug wire or a wire that wasn't plug back in. If I think of something else I'll reply back again.
