1999 Suzuki Intruder VS1400 misses and backfires on one cylinder particularly loudly on startup. Gas consumption is high. Some loss of power. Operates best at high speed, poorly at low speed. Condition getting worse. Carburetors have been cleaned. What is the problem? How can I fix it? How much will it cost? How long will it take?

If the float needles/seats are worn, or the float levels are not set right, this can cause flooding and backfire in the exhaust, and poor mileage.

Check the fuel screens in the carbs, the rear one can get real cloged real fast. FYI the fuel system on the 1400 is something Henry Ford would find primitive LOL.

Is ther e no fuel mixture screw u can try adjusting

    I have problems with a 800cc and I cannot find an adjustment screw

    There are no external mixture adjusting jets on these carburetors. Idle mixture is set by a fixed internal jet. High speed mixture is adjusted by a moveable jet attached to the throttle slide. As a related aside, there is a small O-ring sealing the needle valve to the carb body. In an older bike the rings become brittle and may let fuel leak past causing flooding of that cylinder.

On my 2000 Suzuki Intruder GS1400, when removing the front tire do I have to remove the brake caliper off the forks?

Yes it is easier to work if you do. The caliper will easily slide off the disc if left in place, but not quite so easy putting the wheel and disc back in.

Have a 1995 Suzuki vs1400 Intruder that is missing or cutting out -- any ideas on the cause of the problem? Idle is fine misses between 2200 & 3000 rpm high rpms are fine.

Your Carbs need to be cleaned from the bike sitting too much ...most likely. Same thing happened to me. Main jets get clogged from gas evaporating.
