@@alecgrolimond1678 Thank you for watching. I make my videos thinking of someone that is new to this working on their own bikes. I also like telling the price of things I use and where I get it. Plus sometimes I have some fun too. I have learned a lot from You-Tube. Norman. Ride safe.
What's the name of the service book you got? I have a 2009 Suzuki boulevard C50 and I always do my own maintenance service and fixing too. That book would come in handy for things that I'm unfamiliar with. Thanks 👍
Yet another great video. Will look forward to more uploads leading to solving the idling problem you are facing. Wishing you and everyone good health. Stay safe.
Great video by the way - good and clear!.. I have a 2005 Suzuki C50 and when I went to start riding this year(about a week ago), it was no go. My troubleshooting led me to find out I keep blowing the fuel 10A fuse, the fuel pump comes on for about 1 sec and then the fuse blows - do you think its the fuel pump or what can you tell me thx , any recommendations?
Two things I would try first. Is there a code that comes up ? That might tell where the problem is at. Another thing is you could look in the book and see where the fuel pump gets it power from. Disconnect it and turn the bike on with a new fuse in. If it does not blow out then nothing else is hooked up with it and that shows the problem is most likely the pump. Hope this helps. Norman.
@@2001himax Yes it does help - I'll try to disconnect the pump and then try and start the bike and see if the fuse blows or not, great idea - thx , much appreciated!
Great informative videos. I use your video on driveshafts lubricant on my 2005 Boulevard C 50. I'm sure if you have any advice on flashing oil light indicators. I started my bike up a few days ago to see if everything was good to go but when I started it to day the temp and oil indicator light was flashing f1 and reading check oil. I rechecked the oil and it is good. Would you have any ideas about this? Also, what is the best place to order a service manual. Thank you so much for any information.
Hi Wade, I got my service manual from E-Bay. You have the f1 light on so you need to bring up the code . There are videos on how to do this on You-Tube. Once you find the code the book show all codes and the problem with each one. Like when a car has the engine light come on that only shows it has a problem. To find the problem you have to use a scanner to find the code and find what is wrong. Now with the C50 you can use a small piece of wire to jump across two wires to bring up the code. On You-Tube put in (How to get the code on the C50.) You should find someone showing how to do it. Norman.
@@wadestanford1392 There are some videos on resetting the codes too. You can look into those and reset yours. Like a car , I have had a code come up , reset it and it didn't come back. They get a glitch now and then. I will try to guide you in the right direction. Norman.
@@2001himax I appreciate your help with this problem. Your channel has been a god send to me and I suspect others when it comes to working on our motorcycles.

2005 C50 only 1400 Kms. Ran poorly. Replaced rusty tank. Replaced pump and pressure reg and had injectors cleaned and tested. After install had no start. Confirmed 45psi fuel pressure to injectors. Confirmed spark. No injector pulse. Pinned out harness on injector circuit to ECM. No resistance. Harness is perfect. Had injectors tested again. Perfect. What am I missing?!?!?!?
Hi Alex, It may be time to take it to the dealer. These C50s sometimes need to be hooked up to a scanner to find what is going wrong. Wish I could help but it could be so many thing to look through.
Dear Norman, I noticed from yr latest video that u hv got a replacement ECM hoping to fix the idling issue. Please also check the STVA secondary throttle valve actuator, the secondary throttle valve sensor and the throttle position sensor again. There are many videos on you tube showing how to check the above. The sensors hv a wiper on them which moves on a resistance coating so they need to be checked with a multimeter while moving the butterflies or rolling the throttle. The resistance should vary in a linear fashion. Also sometimes the STVA actuator gearing sticks and needs to opened and lubed. Pls search Suzuki GSXR videos with similar issues. The race bike has similar sensors as the boulevard.

Hi Edwin, Just happen to see your comment. Some times I don't get an E-Mail saying I have a comment. Do you mean the Dealer switch? If so I got it from E-Bay. It is so hard to find a good shop to work on these bikes. I am still trying to fix the idle issue on my 2012 Boulevard. Let me know if you are talking about the Dealer switch or it something else. Norman
Great video! I have an 07 C50T that I had to do a little rust removal from the tank and fuel pump everything is clean and put back together and it runs great, the only problem I have now is that while the ignition is on and the bike running the FI and odometer reading flashes back and forth on the display. It goes FI to showing the mileage and back to showing the Fuel Injection FI. Any ideas on what I missed?
On you-tube put in "How to read the code on the Suzuki Boulevard". I have a dealer switch but you can use a small piece of wire to do this and a dealer code will come up. Look this code in the Clymer book and it may show what is wrong. Mine came up (C40) and I am still trying to find an answer. A few of my last videos show working on this problem. If you didn't have this problem before you worked on the tank make all the fuel hoses are on tight. To read codes turn the key on then put the jumper wire on and the code will come up. If you put the jumper wire on first then turn the key on it will clear the codes. Try clearing the code first. It's the easiest thing to try. Norman
@@2001himax I did mess with the throttle body at one point, I think I was going to pull it off. Maybe I jarred something loose or I don't know. I think I took a couple screws out when I realized I couldn't get the rest out and put it back together.
I have a problem with my Suzuki boulevard c50 when I’m on the high way the temperature light comes on once I reach speed above 120 km/h what do you think is the problem?
Hi Hussam, Just saw your comment. I should have gotten an E-Mail of your question. Sorry it took a month to get back to you. I would check the coolant and change it first. On these bikes you have to take the fuel tank off to fill the coolant. Down on the left side you can see the coolant. Is it dark colored? If so it needs changed. If you change it you may want to put in a new censor that is on the side of the radiator. It may be bad. Run some water through the system to flush it out then put in the new coolant. Hope this helps. Norman
Hello I replaced the battery of my bike and after that I even replaced the rectifier with a new one. Can you please tell why is the battery still draining even if the switch of my bike is in the off position?
Something is pulling power. Was anything added to the bike like extra lights, Power point for a GPS, or power for a phone? If so disconnect them and see if the battery is still draining . If not you can try to find the trouble by looking at the wiring harness. Find where the back end of the wiring is plugged in for the tail light and turn signals. Unplug it and see if the battery drains. If it drains leave it unplugged and move to the inside of the headlight. Unplug wiring there and see if it drains. What you will be doing is separating sections to narrow down to what part is draining the battery. AS you go over the wiring look for any place the wiring is rubbing and causing a short. Al so check the kick stand wire on the safety switch. Unplug it. Check all the fuses. This will take time to unplug sections and wait to see if the battery drains. This is what I would try first. All so unplug the dash. As you unplug anything I would put some bright colored tape on it so when you are done you will see what to plug back in. Hope this helps you. It's worth a try. Does the battery drain as you run the bike or drain just sitting?. Put a volt meter on the battery it should show around 12.4 volts. Start the bike . It should show around 14 volts while running. If not then the stator is bad. Check the voltage on the battery with the bike off then running first. Norman.
I have a 2006 Suzuki Boulevard c50. Can you make a video on how to text the complete fuel pump assembly? Also, give a break down of the parts on the assembly?

The symptoms you describe really do sound like TPS out of adjustment. When making adjustments the smallest movement will have a big effect. However, Throttle position sensor may be worn out. If it is you can't adjust it. You have to renew it. I assume you have checked all four plugs and leads. Oh! AND by the way I really do like your video style. Have you synchronized the throttle boddies?
@@2001himax Hello Norman, I have a K7 VZ800. My manual suggests the Throttle Body Synchronization procedure come before the TPS. I have never done either (YET). However I did have a Yamaha BT1100 which had a version of the Drag Star engine. I used a two column "Morgan carb tune" guage and I did not need a rev counter as I set the throttle stop by ear ... and after synchronisation I set the idle speed by the other ear. Although it had carburetters the Synchronization of throttle boddies was the same sort of process. I don't think you need to buy a Suzuki vacuum guage kit ( probably an arm and a leg) as any guage set will do as long as you can get the hoses to fit. If it turns out that the problem is not synchronization then ... welll. it one more thing that it isn't. Good luck and take care in these uncertain times and keep us posted please.
Hi Pat, I would jack the back wheel up off the ground then turn the wheel in the direction it would go as if riding it. Listen for the sound. If you hear it place one end of a wooden dowel rod on the hub and put your ear on the other end. Now turn the wheel and move the dowel around to different places on the hub and wheel to locate where the noise is coming from. You will probably have to remove the rear wheel to see if any rub marks can be found. If you turn the wheel and hear no sound you may have to have the weight of the bike on the wheel. Push the bike back and forth on the ground to see if the sound can be heard. One other thing to check is check the oil level in the final drive. Oil should be up to the bottom of the filler plug. This is a start. Let me know if this is any help. I would not ride till this problem is solved. Norman
Hi Bob, I have the Clymer ( M260-3 } Suzuki Volusia / Boulevard C50 2001- 2011 maintenance- troubleshooting- repair book. My bike is a 2012 but nothing changed from 2011 to 2012 so the book works for me. You can find them on E-bay. Norman.
I bought my 05 Suzuki Boulevard from a guy and he put a thousand miles on it in 11 Years. But as I was driving it when I went to accelerate no matter if I hold the throttle all the way down it was like it just dropped on its face no acceleration. When I go to let off the throttle there's some little point up there that it tries to pick up speed I've change the plugs I've tried fuel any help would be appreciated
Hi Tabitha, The coolant temperature sensor on my 2012 is at the top of the radiator. The sensor towards the bottom is the fan switch. You will be changing the top one. It may be easier to remove the fuel tank to get to it. I would put some high temp. gasket maker on the threads of the new one. With the tank off you can check the level of the coolant that should be a little lower than the filler top, say around 1/2 inch. to 1 inch. I would also change the coolant while you have the tank off. I use 50/50 mix that is all ready mixed and can be use in any color coolant. Not a hard job, just take some time. Also clean the plastic expansion on the right side of the bike and put new coolant back in. That should do it. Norman.
@@2001himax I did the resistance text .. still good the boulevard run good .. only the problem is the idle go up and down while I drivin I did already change the tps trottle position sensor but I think is Maybe a sensor but the boulevard have like 10 sensors!!!! 😩
@@Tacbi0325 Look at some of my videos and you will see that my bike has a problem with the idle. I bought a scanner tool that I think the dealers use that I will try over the winter to find the problem. A lot of people are having this trouble with these bikes. I think it's the ( idle sensor control ). If you take it out and put in a new one you need this tool to reset it to the bike. The dealer can do this. I paid $360 for the tool but haven't had the time to try it. Suzuki knows about this trouble and does nothing to help us. So much for customer service. Norman.

Hey .. is hard to change the engine coolant temperature sensor?? Is what is wrong with my boulevard ... I thunk
Hi Tabitha, The coolant temperature sensor on my 2012 is at the top of the radiator. The sensor towards the bottom is the fan switch. You will be changing the top one. It may be easier to remove the fuel tank to get to it. I would put some high temp. gasket maker on the threads of the new one. With the tank off you can check the level of the coolant that should be a little lower than the filler top, say around 1/2 inch. to 1 inch. I would also change the coolant while you have the tank off. I use 50/50 mix that is all ready mixed and can be use in any color coolant. Not a hard job, just take some time. Also clean the plastic expansion on the right side of the bike and put new coolant back in. That should do it. Norman.
@@2001himax thanks bro
I did it
@@2001himax I did the resistance text .. still good the boulevard run good .. only the problem is the idle go up and down while I drivin I did already change the tps trottle position sensor but I think is Maybe a sensor but the boulevard have like 10 sensors!!!! 😩
@@Tacbi0325 Look at some of my videos and you will see that my bike has a problem with the idle. I bought a scanner tool that I think the dealers use that I will try over the winter to find the problem. A lot of people are having this trouble with these bikes. I think it's the ( idle sensor control ). If you take it out and put in a new one you need this tool to reset it to the bike. The dealer can do this. I paid $360 for the tool but haven't had the time to try it. Suzuki knows about this trouble and does nothing to help us. So much for customer service. Norman.
Did you ever solve this problem?
I haven't had time to work on it. Wife needs a new kitchen and bathroom.
Video seems good by he comments, but like other videos i try to watch from you theres no sound, how can i correct this, i tried my tablet as well no sound either
I don't know why this happens. Are all my videos with no sound when you watch them? Norman
I just updated my chrome. Hope the next video will have the sound.
For some reason I get no sound when watching your videos. This only occurs with your videos.
Try watching on a different device. I have others saying this but most get sound. I have no idea why or what I can do to fix this problem. Norman.
Hey Norman, Hello my friend I'm not getting any sound...ron..
Hi my good good friend Ron. It must be something on your end. No one else has said no sound. Try watching the video on something else and see if it comes through. Let me know. Norman
Yes, Someone else had trouble. I will try something different next video. Let me know if the sound comes through. All my best to you and your family.

Mine doesn't backfiring but my latest videos show my bike has trouble with the idle. I have tried many things but can't find the problem. Other people say they have this same issue. I have to take a break from working on it but will try to get back to it soon. Norman
