Suzuki Intruder VS1400: Remove Front and Rear Air Box - Tear Down Part 3

Q&A -> Thanks for checking out the video, if you have any questions drop them here!

[@johnathonsiders2776]

I have a question for you about my 2001 intruder 1400 cylender 2 keeps popping and backfiring i have cleaned the carb synced the carbs replaced the plug and coil stator rectifier pickups coils and cant seem to figure it out

Is this while riding or when at idle? Popping and banging typically indicates a lean mixture if some sort.

[@johnathonsiders2776]

Both

Hey what air filters does it take

[@svensvander]

Just to make sure: for only changing the front air filter, I DO NOT really have to disconnect anything but simply get the cover off right? I got a 1995 Intruder 1400…….cheers and thanks

These bikes look like a nightmare to work on. Eek. Great video mate, you’ve more patience than I.

They're definitely not a plug and play kinda bike thats fir sure :)

Great vids,informative and a laugh.just started restoring an 87 1400,I’m very lucky to have these vids at hand,so many👍

Glad you like them! Thanks for the support!

[@gardy8720]

@ I found the other help vids painful,maybe not being pro mechanic helps,you don’t presume I know stuff.3 out of 4 header pipe bolts broke today😅 no one could have gotten these.hopefully extract em out ok.looking forward to rest of vids,can’t believe it’s so easy to follow,well done

@@gardy8720 the header bolts on mine snapped aswell, it is very common on this bike. I'm no professional, I just do it as a hobby :)

[@justinwnichols03]

My air box had a 8mm bolt bottom side behind radiator......good times!🎉

[@jezzgamberro3765]

Hi i was thinking about installing smaller air filter k&n's like what do you think?

Hi. Yes it can be done BUT you will have to rejet the cards to accompany the new airflow. And unfortunately, there is no "1 size fits all" solution.

Right on keep up the good work.

Thanks Eric! More videos on their way :)

[@richardknott2021]

I like your channel..

[@martinlavoie9914]

Hi Hagar, thank you for the video, quick question, what do you do with the hose connecting to the airbag? one if for oil dripping down, but the other one connects to the motor head.. what do you do with them if your installing pod filters?? thx

Grab yourself a mini air pod filter for the line off the top of the head, Video of carbs re-install will show you what I used, Due in a few days ;)

Have you adjusted the fuel air mixture screw?

[@jeffmosier3145]

If like to have seen and know how you hooked them two small hoses with clamps back on the front box when you just pulled till they came loose

[@Tacbi0325]

Hello Hagar, love what u are doing in these videos, very resourceful, please I have a little issue, 2 issues to be precised, I will say I'm confused, the first issue is the hydraulic valve tappets at the rear engine, I bought the bike with 22k miles on it, so each time I start the bike in the morning,I always hear this valve tapping from the back engine, and after running for about 5 minutes, it will disappear, I've been using it like that for about a year now, but now the it doesn't stop at all, it keeps tapping continuously even when the engine is warmed up, please is there any solution for it. The second issue, though I will not call it issue, is that I just installed Dual Vance and Hines 450 titans slip on mofulers on it, though it runs well but I get I little drop in power, I know I should have re- jet the carbs, please, what's sizes of jets should I install on the carbs and how do I set up the A/F mixture screw. Please I will love your kind advice's. Thanks

[@jagco2594]

can you install air filter pobs and remove the both air boxes.

[@jacobmorse44]

Was wondering if the cdi control spark coil packs

[@steveshammer]

Ok I have an 800 and there is a second hose bottom to side. Any idea where it goes?

Its probably the drain line brother

I would fail miserably at these videos. There's zero chance I could keep the original audio, and would absolutely have to do voice overs. Why, you ask? Because, as I do when I've worked on....my Intruder, my Honda Shadow, various aircraft (military and civilian), machinery at work (I'm senior maintenance tech in an optics lab), I am constantly asking, "Who's the crack smoking SOB that thought THIS was a good idea?!" You have way more patience than I can muster! And the 10mm wrenches/spanners? Oh yea, they are our equivalent in commonality to a 7/16, and are constantly missing. The equipment we have in our lab is all metric, and the 10mm (and 13mm) wrenches and sockets are worth their weight in gold.

[@loudexplorer5851]

I'm confused. You say that throttle cable splits into two cables for each carb I presume? But why is there a cable between the 2 carbs aswell to sync them? I always thought that there is only one throttle cable going to the first carb and another one between the 2 carbs to sync.

Apologies that I wasnt clearer on this, you are absolutely right it is to sync the carbs throttle. I've done a full carb video that I'll post as soon as it is edited.

[@loudexplorer5851]

@ Looking forward to that. These videos are very helpfull. I own a Intruder 1400 ('97) too.

@@loudexplorer5851 Thanks! Glad they are of use! :) Have you kept it stock or customized it since owning? I love mine, Can not wait to get her back on the road, im getting anxiety haha

[@loudexplorer5851]

@ It has a few small modifications done by the previous owner (white walls, mini ape, dragster type pipes, etc) but it looks pretty much stock. I'm curious to see where you are headed with yours.

[@thundershield]

Yet another very nice video. Thanks!

[@uchesamuel4894]

The A/F mixture screw is in stock mode, still covered and not accessible.

[@youtubevanced9838]

[@azazelakira12]
