Handle grip problem, 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50

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.

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

Suzuki cycle dealer will sell the bolts in a kit did you know?

Try Dipping The key In Oil, Place key In Lock, Use Gently As You Would Normally Whilst Rocking Bars side To Side

on the 2005 intruder there is a small screw under the plastic wing shaped chrome thing under the headlight. this wing thing can then be pulled to the front and u have access to the nuts and bolts that hold the indicators to the rest of the bike.

Hi
If its the handle bar grip you are referring to, they are a slide on fit... can take some initial leverage to get them off, go carefully and prise it away.

Backfiring when the throttle is closed shows a lean mixture. Either you, or your mechanic should take a look at the mixture, and there's a 99% chance that that was the cause of your problem :)

If you have an air compressor and air gun tip simply

insert the tip into the grip and apply air but

you need to remove the vibration dampeners first

Pry under it with a flathead screwdriver, athen pray it with hairspray,and turn on it until it comes off.
