Motorcycle specifications SuzukiVL 125 INTRUDER 2002 Lack of conviction

presentation of the VL 125 INTRUDER 2002

already present in the juicy niche (around 2000) of 125 customs with its Marauder, Suzuki is strengthening its position with the present Intruder. Convinced of the importance of this market, the manufacturer has added a brand-new engine: a V-twin with 3 valves per cylinder. Unfortunately, this mill isn't one of the best. Its sound is pleasant, but it lacks breath and vibrates a lot at higher revs. Whatever the conditions, it's no match for the Honda Shadow's twin. The machine makes up for this a little with its roadholding, which is very decent. It's easy to ride and weaves its way through urban environments without difficulty. Suzuki should modify the braking system. Both dosage and power are uninspiring. As are the handlebars, which penalize comfort. The bike's strong points are its attractive finish and a number of practical features, such as a large trunk and a clever helmet hook. However, the Intruder is put to the test by its majestic Shadow.

Ferdi Model 2000

hello,
I have a suzuki 125 intruder from 2000, I have problems with the battery not charging, I think it's the ignition stator. I'd like to change it myself but I don't know where it is and if it's possible
Thanks in advance for your information. 07/25/2016 11:48 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Ferdi

question freinage, qu'en est il au juste

pistachedudouze Model 2000

I was thinking of buying a 2000, but I'm wondering, after reading on motorcycle websites, if I'm going to have braking problems... Never ridden a 125, LOL. Is there a difference between models, depending on the year? 03/15/2016 12:35 Rating : 1/5 Respond to pistachedudouze

Suzuki Intruder VL 125

Swifty Model 2001

I've had a 2001 Intruder 125 for two years now, with a custom pot it sounds great!
I love it for quiet rides, but it's still a 125 of course!

I'd also like to know what nozzle is needed when changing the air wire to the box with K-style cones 02/11/2016 15:26 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Swifty

i modified my 125 intruder by adding an air filter and replacing the jigger, which makes it more responsive and more torquey 03/21/2016 10:49 Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation

Quel gicleur pour un 125 intruder ?

lilout-33 Model 2000

i removed the foam from the air filter and was told to use a larger nozzle because I have a large air intake in the air filter, but there's still the grille. Could you tell me what nozzle I should use? 04/21/2015 17:07 Rating : 5/5 Respond to lilout-33

achtung le freinage!!

jacounet Model 2006

I remain dubious about the safety conditions of this motorcycle that I have owned since 2006 in terms of braking, moreover, battery too low, a week of rest and recharging almost mandatory and no solution in model beyond 6Amp, plastic chrome does not withstand the marine climate as for the rims a cat in short clinquant and Company 03/23/2015 14:24 Rating : 2/5 Respond to jacounet

marauder 27 Model 2000

i've just bought one and for a biker I think it's great, I used to have a marauder and then a virago, this 125 is ideal for touring

Pas si mal que ça.

oldbiker Model 2004

I'm on my second VL 125. The first bought new, sold at 100,000 km, in good condition, never a problem except for carb icing in winter. The current one is at 40,000 km and running well. As for the brakes, I avoid being in them to avoid surprises. 07/19/2013 01:20 Rating : 5/5 Respond to oldbiker

obelix Model 2000

very good machine, comfortable and pleasant to ride
a little short on top speed, good braking, very maneuverable in town 08/17/2008 16:44 Rating : 5/5 Respond to obelix

Pat Model 2000

I'm taking the big cube test and, as I'm struggling, I bought this bike to help me get the hang of it, and I have to say I love it
I'd really like to find a driving school with a bike this high, because the 500 I'm learning on is too high and too heavy for me
In any case, I don't regret my purchase, because it's beautiful and fun to ride
As far as braking is concerned, I think it's fine, but it chases a lot from the rear
Sincerely to all

intruder Model 2000

good machine to start with. having your feet on the ground quickly is a plus. ideal for a woman... but limited like all 125s, especially when exiting corners 06/10/2005 21:01 Rating : 5/5 Respond to intruder

domi Model 2000

very pleasant machine to drive, average speed on the flat: 120 km/h
as far as braking is concerned, a big effort is required
roadholding: hunting when cornering too quickly. 12/28/2004 15:12 Rating : 5/5 Respond to domi
