Beautiful bike! I just bought an immaculate 96 Intruder 1400, only 19400km, it's black with dark grey in middle of the tank and guards(fenders) with blue metallic flakes. $7500 here in Australia and worth every cent! Thanks for the great video👍
I have a '98 and love it. Also Jardine pipes. I recently rejeted, 145 front and 155 rear plus K&N filters. Let's see what she'll do now!! Great video. Thanks. 👍
Just got a '96, needs a lot of work to get it back up to road ready, I've had a few Suzuki bikes over the years, my GS1100L built in the 1980's was one of the best I ever rode. Hope I can get this 1400 going just as good.
I had a 1982 GS850 back in the early 1990s. A buddy of mine used to be an engine builder and he had spent a lot of time on that engine. Then divorce hit and he needed money so I ended up with it. To this day it was the fastest bike I’ve owned. Well, maybe not quite as fast as my Triumph. The Intruders are great bikes though, I really love the way they look.
They are fabulous machines. Mine is a 92 in maroon and salmon with lots of genuine Suzuki Crome fittings. 30,000 miles and the bike presents as showroom. Perrelli Route 66 rubber and silver star ultra make’s night riding plenty easy. Gradient ruby wind shield and cobra dual staggered right exhaust. She’s gorgeous and runs as well as she looks. After 32 years of service the under tank fuel lines between tank valve and fuel shut off are exposed to fuel continuously. Just shorten a 1/4” and re clamp. Amazing Japanese top quality.
Thanks! I plan to do some more content on the 1400. Actually, this week I’m welding up that fork stop and installing an LED headlight bulb. Maybe I’ll include those!
A very informative video for me as I've just bought a '94 model with less than 10,000 miles on it. It will sit nicely in my garage next to my '88 vmax 1200. It amazes me just how little you americans pay for your motorbikes, $1200 for that one is an absolute bargain, mine cost me £5000 here in the UK although it was from a dealer so you do pay more for their overheads and profit margins I suppose. Ever thought about a vmax 1200 ? it's certainly an aquired taste and a brute of a bike if you mistreat it but a great experience none the less, thanks for your opinion on the vs, much appreciated.
Classics and their paint job you leave as they are as long as dents or scratches are not too noticeable. When bike enthusiast bring up a conversation on the bike at least you can begin with it's original paint for that year. The make and models of all bikes from Japan are classics for their looks, maintenance friendly and they will last forever.
Decent review, I'm about to buy a 1994 Intruder 1400 for my retirement later this year, it will be the first of this type of bike I've had, the way I look at it, it's time to slow down a bit and relax and this is just the ticket. Only regret I have is that unlike in the USA over here in the UK more specifically Northern Ireland you can at least double the price of what you paid. All the best and "keep it between the hedges"!
I’ve heard these bikes go for more money in Europe. Not sure why that is. I did get a good deal on mine, even by US standards, because I bought it from a friend. Having said that, the very first VS1400 I bought was a 1998 model with 5 speed transmission and lower miles, and I only paid $550 for it. I sunk another $1000 in it and rode it for around 20,000 miles. The problem I have now is finding any which haven’t been bobbed or otherwise made to look completely different. I rather prefer the stock look of the Intruders and while I rarely ride this bike, I’m loathe to ever sell it. Enjoy yours!
I have a 2000 VS1400, cobra slipons, such a fun powerful bike,,,I would not do anything major to yours, like you said remove dents, tune it to perfection, I would lube speedo cable or take front tire off and clean puck and remedy the wobble of the speedo, mine was doin it and it drove me nuts, I would get yours perfect it you can, I would do nothing more than keep it tuned and cleaned MAYBE try some drag bars and see if you like the feel
Hey Keith! The previous owner to me, had dropped the bike on the lawn, and that's how the fork stop was broken off. The kick stands on soft ground are really bad and will fold under too easy.
I was looking at mine to "bob" it and I am wondering why you detest it? I love my 96 and I finally got around to tuning the carbs because the previous owner put on straight pipe without adjusting the fuel system. And while I was tinkering with the carbs I got to thinking about ratting the bike out or bobbing it just because I saw something in the potential of the bike I liked. The way the bike is set up, it wouldn't take much to do my mods. AND I have loved this bike since I first saw it in 96! So why the distain for the bobbing? Just curious I guess. Is it a personal thing or does it go against the Intruder standards (LOL)?
Simply a matter of personal taste. I love the clean classic look of the bike as it was born and I generally dislike all bobbers. So when someone basically ruins a beautiful bike, I’m against it. There are a finite number of these on planet earth and you can’t really go back from a bob job. Obviously I can’t buy every one, but I will encourage every one who brings it up to reconsider!
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures I love you dedication to the bike and I feel the same way...kind of! LOL There is something in the look I see but the original look of the Intruder has something special about it, I agree. I know of another bike exactly like mine for sale where I bought mine from 4 years ago. Maybe I get that one and have one original and one "modified"! But like you said there is no going back BUT you can get parts on line if you REALLY wanted to! The only two differences mine has from the original is different pipes and no buck horn handle bars. My son's bike has those handle bars and I particularly don't care for them myself. Thanks for your feed back and enjoy the ride!
Good looking bike! When I had my 94 Heritage Classic a buddy had one of the Intruders, he could leave me in the dust. Kawasaki, in the same era had their Vulcan dubbed the BUBF... Butt Ugly But Fast. lol They were runners too. I like the current color scheme. You could Suzuki Yellow it. ;)
I’ll need to pump the brakes on the yellow! If anything, a nice blue. But I’m going to wait and see. It’s got a few bugs I need to work out but then it’s just ready to ride. I might rack up some miles on her before doing anything.
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures I put under 90 miles on a brand new KLR. Two years later it still has the same mileage on it waiting for me to finish the mods... and then I'll probably just sell it and get a T-7. After that, I always recommend that people ride the snot outta their bikes before getting too mod happy. The KLX is getting ridden in the little spare time I have while that KLR just sadly sits there. The KLX mods are sitting there waiting to be installed. lol I saw the thumbnail for your other Intruder, that blue was awesome!
@@pinkiewerewolf yes I really loved that blue. It’s the reason I thought about keeping it. I’m very tempted to paint this that color but the thought of tearing this bike down to do it really puts a damper on it. I’m doing the stuff to the KLX for TH-cam content. There will come a point where I’ll just be doing riding videos but people don’t much care for those. I’d have to be 20 years younger to do riding content TH-cam viewers like!
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures You and me both! I'd like to do a few videos. I have most of the equipment for it. Mine would mostly be H-D content so maybe the age thing isn't as relevant there? lol
@@pinkiewerewolf it’s tough getting a footing on TH-cam making the content I do. I never expected to get to the point where being a creator would be profitable, or even recoup any money I spent on equipment. I simply enjoy making the videos and if some people like it, then all the better. I won’t lie though, it’d be pretty cool to find a niche that people don’t have a channel about. Time will tell.
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventuresdid you ever post anything on the clutch springs? We just picked up a 1997, same exhaust, mustang seat, Dyna 3000 for $600. Went through it good and finally its first start in 10 years. Rebuilding the master/slave cylinder and would love to drop in those clutch springs. Great video!
@@MrZZeroG well, the springs I used to use and recommend were from a fella on a couple of Intruder forums I was on.

@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures I rode through Sturgis on my 02 ZZR1200 years ago. Its was a crazy fun place. I had just ridden cross country with a friend on a brand new BMW and we split in Illinois, then I rode with some home town friends on Harleys from there. They were like "We'll protect ya in Sturgis." I said you don't need to I can outrun y'all. lol ( I found out that I could not outrun them in heavy rain with strong crosswinds.) I highly recommend the trip, maybe we can meet up in Sturgis someday.
@@pinkiewerewolf that’s a great story! Rain and wind will slow you down. Ya know what’s funny? I’m actually contemplating a move to South Dakota. I like Florida but the place is getting crazy and in my profession, things are only getting worse. I don’t know if I’d ever go to the Sturgis rally but I’d love to go through the town. Honestly, I’ve never been to Daytona bike week and it’s a 2 hour ride for me! LOL
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures hahaha, I like the Dakotas! We're planning to move to remote Alaska when my gal retires in 10 years or so, Cali sucks, except for the geography. I went to Daytona once, with a bunch of other firefighters, crazy fun again. We used to fly and ride when I lived in Illinois. Florida and Texas were my goto states. I'd ride to Texas when I was solo.
@@pinkiewerewolf are you retired already? Firefighter? I’ve got 4 years left until my 25, but I can do 5 additional for some extra $$$ in the pension. It’s a tough call. My wife has 9 years to her 30 but she’s civilian. Her pension will never be as good as mine. We’re planning to start looking hard at property some place because Florida is not in our long term plans.
It starts with checking to see if you’ve got a good ground. There are a couple of grounding points for the system. Make sure they’re clean and tight. Do you have any electrical activity? Headlight? Once the electrical is sound then you’ll need to see if you get spark. There are a couple nanny systems(clutch and kickstand) that will interfere with spark if they’re bad. The clutch switch is the most common. You can pull the two leads off the switch and jumper them with a fuse temporarily to see if that’s causing a no crank situation. I believe you can do the same with the kickstand switch but I’ve never had one of those fail. Another common issue is the starter solenoid. You can jump that with a screwdriver to test it but be ready for a little arcing and engine cranking if it works. Be in neutral especially if you bypass the safety switches discussed earlier. Once you’ve eliminated these, a little deeper dive might be necessary. Bad coils, bad starter, etc can cause no crank issues.
Then I’d start there. The safety switch for the kickstand is likely your issue. It determines if the kick stand is up or down. You can either try to bypass it or just make sure you’re in neutral when you try to start it. There may a second neutral safety switch but I’d have to double check. Basically the system decides if your bike is safe to start. In gear with stand down, no start. Stand up, clutch in, start. If either safety device is inoperable, you’re a dead duck. You can bypass both if you’re a brave man but I’m not giving you that advice officially. I’m not about to be sued because someone cranks their bike straight into a brick wall or something! Good luck.
@@FloridaTwoWheelAdventures LOL It's in natural the N with green light, I will try to start it with the kickstand up. Thanks for taking your time to response.
I love my intruder 1400 definitely switch up from my previous 250 rebel
My first bike was a 250 Rebel but I went through some others before getting an intruder.

I’m looking to sell mine. Where are you located Dave?
About the seafoam. Just add some 2 stroke oil to the fuel (1/2% mix) and you will never have any problems with the carbs or rust in the tank
I’ll give that a try. Thanks!
