Suzuki Intruder 800 front wheel removal

[@leonelcaballero136]

I've watched several videos on this procedure and not a single one mentioned the notches for the speedo , learned something new. Thanks for taking the time and interest to make this video

[@ralphcuriel8612]

I'm new to my 95 intruder 800 and thank u so much for taking the time to male the videos u make this was super helpful. Now I can change the front breaks on mine . Hope to see more of ur videos

[@davidriegner2967]

Glad you like the video on breaks. I have many other videos. Punch in my name and you will see videos on jacking, securing ,moving maintenance,. Let me know what you think of them I like advice, comments and even more suggestions.

[@jesusgarcia2390]

I think this is the first comment I ever post on YT , ... Thanks for the video it helped me tremendously in changing front tire on my own.. good view angles and Information, thanks

[@freedom8gemini2]

New to the biking family. Why take to a shop when you have all these amazing videos. Thank you so much! Great content and easy to understand

[@davidriegner2967]

Anything else you need all you have to do is ask

[@freedom8gemini2]

Sweet!! Late to the party but I'm so happy I found this video. Simple and great... thank you Sir

[@lorrielefebvre2071]

Awesome video. I have a 2004 suzuki volusia intruder 800 and need to change tire. Hope it's as easy as u made it look. I'll be watching your videos when needed 😊

[@davidriegner2967]

Glad you liked the video, the jack makes it so easy.

[@deigo2629]

Thanks for the video .. I was struggling to get my front fender back on after painting the bike ... after several scratches I'm gonna take the wheel off now

[@spagogin]

Thanks for this very straightforward and easy-to-understand video. Even to the warning about lining up the notches for the speedo. One question. Do you not have to do anything with the brake caliper? If not, this is even easier than I thought it would be. Thanks.

[@davidriegner2967]

No need to do anything with the caliper for removal. But it makes it a lot easier if you compress the pads to get the rotor back in when installing the wheel

[@spagogin]

​@@davidriegner2967 Ah, that makes sense. Just manually push them open a bit, I assume. Thanks.

[@mikemxiii]

Hey David, just used your vid to remove a friend's front wheel off an '06 S50 that I recently sold him. We had trouble finding that 19 mm allen key but a bit of phoning around finally turned one up. Imagine our surprise when we discovered on doing the deed that what was needed was a 12mm, not a 19 for the axle. Whoops! ;-) Other than that though, thanks for a very helpful vid.

[@davidriegner2967]

Thanks for the feedback I'll try and edit the video. It was the 2nd mistake I made on the video of 1st was the wheels are off 85,86,87 I am told. I learn something new everyday

[@mikemxiii]

@@davidriegner2967 Haha. That was me pointed out the 85-87 thing too. ;-)

[@davidriegner2967]

I'm beginning to get a complex, I think you're picking on me.😜

[@johnf5122]

The axle "L" A-wrench is inside of the tool kit, found behind the removable rear upper seat back (at least it is on my 1990) I expect others have this unless someone removed the kit. A metric wrench that fits on the A-wrench can indicate the specific mm size for the aplicable year motorcycle.

[@miguelwheelock5529]

Very helpful... thanks

[@mikemxiii]

The cast rims were not 1983-85. The first yr of the Intruder was 1985 and the cast rims were available '85-'87.

[@davidriegner2967]

I stand corrected. Learn something new every day.

[@spagogin]

One other thing that would be really helpful is if you have a video about changing the air filters on this bike. Apparently it can be a pain, but I'm sure you could make it look much easier. :) Thanks.

[@davidriegner2967]

Air filters are a bitch. I use K and N. I'm sure there's other videos out there on changing filters. Many miles happy riding 2 wheels down

[@spagogin]

@@davidriegner2967 Thanks. Yeah, I did find one other...which is what confirmed to me that it was in fact a bitch. I was hoping you'd discovered a magic way. :)

[@davidriegner2967]

Thanks for the video! Kinda jealous of the wheels lol, passed up a set last year on eBay. I was also wondering what turn signals those are. Been looking for some new ones.

[@davidriegner2967]

I assume you're referring to the lights on the crash bars. They are driving lights that I like a lot work very well I bought on eBay. I have not found after market direct bolt on turn signals for my boulevard S50. After market turn signals usually have a 10 mm stud sticking out. Suzuki's bolts on with a 6 mm bolt from the bottom. but I have made adapters for others.

[@davidriegner2967]

They are driving lights

[@AndroidM8]

@@davidriegner2967 My apologies, I must've missed the Boulevard part. I have the VS800, thought you had aftermarket blinkers.

[@davidriegner2967]

@@AndroidM8 Dave there really is no difference between parts for the VS800 or the boulevard S50. Good example is the wheels off an 84 fit a 2005. They are the same bikes.

[@wertonomontesilvamontesilv4358]

Onde conseguiu essas rodas? As minhas são de raios

[@davidriegner2967]

The wheels come off a 1984, 85, 86 Suzuki intruder 800. I got them off eBay years ago. I think I paid about a $100 each for them. I also have a video on polishing them which is different than anyone else I've ever seen.

[@wertonomontesilvamontesilv4358]

Ok amigo,obrigado por responder vou procurar no ebay, se encontro um abraço

Can you do one on replacing front fork seal?

[@joerader6532]

I bought a 2001 vs800 about 2 months ago. Wanted a little bigger bike because of my height but couldn’t pass up the deal I got. Love my bike. I really need to put on a different seat and some footboards and thinking this will make my ride a little more comfortable. If anyone has any ideas of where to get these it would be appreciated. Having problems finding the floorboards that for sure fit my vs800

[@davidriegner2967]

Footboards are hard to find. But seats are easy I use a Mustang seat, good for 4 hours in the saddle

[@davidrios42]

Thank you

[@davidriegner2967]

Realized I made a mistake on the video, the 19 mm millimeter Allen bolt for the axle is actually a 12 mm Allen wrench sorry for my error .

Good job.

What size front tire is that?

[@davidriegner2967]

Front tire is stock size 100/90-19. Is a Metzeler M‐888. The cast wheels are off a 1986 Suzuki 800

[@dannycorman6955]

Good video but he didn't show you that brake has to be loosened and axle needs greased might be helpful ps looks like he had polished and took apart front tire 20 times it just fell out like butter if your bike has been sitting or no maintenance you'll need remove front brakes service and rebuild caliper for sure don't forget new diaphragm for Master cylinder most are brake fluid soaked no good

[@davidriegner2967]

Bike has over 50000 miles. Caliper have never been rebuilt. Master cylinder never been touched. You do not have to remove caliper to remove wheel. You sound like you do not have much mechanical is mechanical aptitude.

[@Joeymcc]

Thanks so much man, it’s so hard to find good info on these bikes, just picked up a 98 vs800, loving it so far but I need to swap a tube on the front, thanks again!

[@davidriegner2967]

Glad I could be of help. If you need any help on more info on the Intruder 800 let me know.

[@rustyshackleford4059]

Don't see to many of those snowflake rims around. I know these bikes like the dog shit run out of them. I ride my intruder more then the harley and put close to 10k miles a year on it.

[@davidriegner2967]

You're so right. I have over 50000 miles on mine and still the original rear brakes. Now she's 1 of 2 bikes still my favorite but have a Yamaha Vstar 1100 for the long overnight toring trips with the wife on back.

@@davidriegner2967 Mines a 96 I found in a barn of my buddy's place here in wv with 10k miles and sitting for 5 years. Gave him a hundred bucks and two years frame off restoring it with my own touches. I've had it on the road three years and its about to turn 38k. I threw new rings in it at 28k but didn't need it. I just freshened up the head gaskets on it because how hard I do run it lol. The best mods I done to mine was a jet kit for some shorty York exhaust tips and a Barnett clutch. I lowered it 3 inches in the rear with S40 shocks and a 2" progressive kit in the front. I love bikes.. I got an 83 honda cb1100f that I just got running after it sat for 10 years. I have an 88 sporty that I just threw some cams and a hammer performance 1250 kit on it but it's still having carb issues. I like watching people work on their own shit. I built that Harley and honda in my spare bedroom or somewhere in this house. I keep all three in the house with me thanks to growing up seeing my uncle keeping his pan head in the house lol. What tires you get the best mileage out of? I burn dunlops off every oil change lol.
