Why does my Suzuki 03 year shut off while riding?
Stalling while riding is a common problem with the 03 year. Everyone says kickstand, but that wasn’t the cause for my stalling and couldn’t find a solution anywhere online. When it stalls it just shows CHEC, which doesn’t give an error code. And sometimes it shows FI and gives C32, C33, C34, C35 (FUEL INJECTOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION).
What to do if your Suzuki DR650 clutch nut is loose?
While you have the clutch cover off it would be a good idea to check this nut for proper torque (72.5 ft lbs). The nut is a left handed thread. If you find the nut is loose on your machine you will want to check the condition of the key. If there is any side wear or grooving replace the key.

What kind of fairing does a Suzuki TL1000R have?
The Suzuki TL1000R’s full fairing is fairly wide, especially at the top half, so it keeps some windblast off the rider. The TL1000R pillion perch is a bit of joke, footpegs are too high and the upswept pipes makes panniers impossible to fit. You get a steering damper as standard on the Suzuki TL1000R though…which is nice.
Which is better Suzuki TL1000R or Ducati 916?
When you push it, the Suzuki TL1000R gets loose at high speeds, and oversteers on slow corners. The Suzuki TL1000R has a truly awesome engine, producing a claimed 135bhp and though it revs another 1000rpm higher than the TL1000S, the Suzuki TL1000R still feels like it makes as much poke as a Ducati 916 can manage, by about 6000 revs.
Is the Suzuki TL1000S a fire breathing monster?
The TL1000S isn’t the fire-breathing crazy monster that reports from the period will have you believe. Initial throttle response is neater and more predictable than a modern Panigale and the exhaust note is ias quiet as any Euro4 bike at low revs. There’s an impressive kick at the top-end and it drives hard.
How does rear shock work on Suzuki TL1000S?
The rear shock’s damping action is controlled by a teaspoon of oil being forced through valves – it doesn’t work. The rear end starts moving, plus the front end of the TL1000S is liable to flap about as the sheer grunt lifts the front wheel. Result; one scared rider, and possible excursions into the scenery.
What kind of bike is the Suzuki tm400?
The TM400 was Suzuki’s first serious production open-class motocross bike. The company had been racing hand-built works bikes and winning, and this production version promised to have world class power. Bundle that power with lousy shock and fork damping, and a flexible frame with bad geometry and you got a bike that was a real handful.
