To improve fuel efficiency, maintain proper tire pressure, perform regular maintenance like air filter cleaning and spark plug replacement, and avoid aggressive acceleration. Consistent riding at moderate speeds also helps in achieving better fuel economy.
If the motorcycle overheats, pull over and turn off the engine immediately. Check the coolant level and for any leaks. Allow the engine to cool down before refilling the coolant. If overheating persists, it may require professional inspection for radiator or thermostat issues.
The rear suspension of the Suzuki Boulevard C50T VL800 is adjustable. To soften the ride, reduce the preload by turning the adjuster in the counterclockwise direction. Always refer to the owner’s manual for specific adjustment instructions and ensure both sides are set equally.
Common electrical issues include blown fuses, faulty wiring, and dead batteries. To fix these, replace blown fuses with ones of the same rating, inspect and repair any damaged wiring, and ensure the battery is properly charged and connections are secure.
To clean and maintain the chain, use a suitable chain cleaner and brush to remove dirt and grime. Once clean, apply a high-quality chain lubricant. Regularly inspect the chain for tension and wear, and adjust or replace as necessary.
To winterize, start by cleaning the motorcycle thoroughly. Stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, lubricate moving parts, and remove the battery to store in a cool, dry place. Finally, cover the motorcycle to protect it from dust and moisture.
To improve braking performance, ensure that the brake pads are not worn out and replace them if necessary. Regularly check and top up brake fluid levels, and consider upgrading to high-performance brake pads for better responsiveness.
