The Intruder 1500 takes between 4 and 4.5 qts with filter change and uses a 10W-40. I was surprised by the weight, but that is what is on the cap. I even verified it with the Suzuki dealership.
The Intruder uses 5.3 US Quarts for an over haul, 4.5 US Quarts with Filter Change, and 3.9 US Quarts for an oil drain with out changing the filter. That is the factory spec.
Per the Factory Service Manual API Rating SF or SG with a viscosity rating of 10w/40 is the only thing in the book. I've been using Bel Ray V-Twin Full Synthetic in mine for 18,000 (after initial 500) miles but that was my decision and has nothing to do with the factory specs.
I am looking for a wiring diagram for the Intruder 1500 which also shows color codes. In the process I found the following link. It's for the Intruder 1500 and does not show color codes, but hope it's helpful. http://www.yankeecruisah.com/art/int-1500-wire.gif
Usually motorcycle tire pressure is 32psi, see also the recommended on the tire itself.
I own a 1998 VL Intruder. Keep the tyre pressures up and the steering improves dramatically. I imagine different tyre treads also would make a difference. Other than that, I think it's a great bike. Steve, South Australia
most motorcycles do not have separate tranny fluid, the motor oil is also lube for tranny.
My 1994 Suzuki Intruder 800 (VS800G) just went in to the shop to have the water pump replaced. Yes, it was a water pump and a thermostat. It also has a fan, fan switch or relay and a temp. sensor for the fan. It has everything a car has.
I miss my old Intruder 1400 ... Great bike! The "transmission fluid" on a Suzuki Intruder is the normal engine oil, just as it is on most manual transmission vehicles. It uses the same oil from the crankcase reservoir, so every time you change your oil, you are also changing the transmission fluid. Just a quick money saving tip on changing your oil on this bike: you don't need to buy the expensive motorcycle oil filter. There is a standard automobile oil filter that will fit the threading and gasket of the Intruder. Since the automotive filter has a larger volume of filtration, it will actually work better than the more expensive OEM filter on the Suzuki.
The VIN is stamped on the frame, up on the steering neck on the right side. It is also found on a sticker on the left side of the rear swingarm, but this is often removed by owners looking to clean up the look of their bike.
10/40 regular or synthetic I would not use 10/40 unless it was synthetic. Regular 10/40 breaks down too quick. You can also use 10/50 20/50 15/50
