- Fuel system, gasoline › Storage
THE FUEL TANK UNDER THE SEAT CRACKED AND LEAKED. THE CRACK IS ALWAYS LOCATED ON THE UPPER RIGHT MOUNT AREA. IT'S A SMALL HAIRLINE CRACK AT FIRST AND DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE LC/C90 DELPHI FORUM. FUEL RUNS OUT OF THE TANK CAUSING A POTENTIAL FIRE PROBLEM. I USED JB WELD TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OTHER HAD HAVE HAD A NEW TANK INSTALLED WHICH CAN CRACK TOO. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH INTRUDER 1500 LC'S.*JB
- Fuel system, gasoline › Storage › Tank assembly
MY SUZUKI 1500 INTRUDER MOTORCYCLE'S EMISSIONS SYSTEM FAILED. I NOTICED SMELL OF GASOLINE ABOUT THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND A BAD WELD IN THE SEAM ON THE GAS TANK AT THE FRONT RIGHT MOUNTING TAB. FOR SOME REASON THE TANK SEEMS TO BE UNDER STRESS AT THAT POINT, THAT COMBINED WITH A DEFECTIVE SEAM WELD AT THAT LOCATION CAUSED A LEAK A THAT POINT. I HAVE TEMPORARILY REPAIRED THE TANK BY REMOVING THE BOLT FROM THAT AREA RELIEVING THE STRESS AND COVERED THE LEAKING AREA WITH EPOXY TO STOP THE GAS LEAK. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND CAN PUT YOU IN CONTACT WITH THEM IF YOU LIKE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKES FAILED. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED OVER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED THEM TWICE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK
