I have two V Sat 650, one classic one custom. the classic, when cold is hard to crank. If you pull out on the choke it will crank for a second and go dead. If you crank with it in it runs ruff and will only Idle. If you give it gas it will go dead. the only way to get it cranked is ease out halfway and let it idle and try to ease on the gas and rev till hot. I spent 500$ having the carb rebuilt.. My other bike ,same year ,cranks right up no problem pull out the choke, let run ,then ease off.

Hey, new to the forum. Cheers. I bought an 07 Suzuki M50 VZ800/Z this spring and have clocked a little over 7k mi since. I love the bike, Bought it used with Vance and Hines pipes and some rather Gothem City looking mirrors on it. I managed to throw it under a car a few months ago in my inexpience and broke off a turn signal. I'm ok, no damage otherwise- just part of the sometimes painfull and costly learning experience right? Figgure I'll invest in a riding and safty course this spring. Live and learn.

Plans for the winter include new turn signals- dang. A satton black stripe over the tank and fenders, new bags, and wrinkle finnished engine covers and maybe c50 handle bars and forward controls. Just lookin to spend more money right?
Thanks NMc

My son has been riding for about 2 years and I was always green with envy when he'd come over on his 636. He reluctantly let me ride it a few times which just fanned the flames. He suggested a 650R, said it would be a good beginner bike... He was right - I love the bike. It has enough power to get me out of trouble and it is light and easy to manouver.

--- We usually like to ride some back roads on Sunday mornings - South or North of the DFW Metroplex and we'd like to meet others that like to do the same. ---- We are not brand snobs - anyone with a bike is welcome. Feel free to drop me a line. This Sunday I am alone as my son is going to Colorado tomorrow -----

So I brought home a '08 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Special Edition this past friday.Its the Silver Gray with Tribal Graphics/Alloy Wheels/Chrome Studded Seats. I rode it 30 miles on friday, another 40 miles yesterday, and in a few minutes I will be heading out to the west side of Oahu for another 40 to 60 mile run. So far the bike is great, smooth, comfortable and running fine and not a glitch to be had.
Anyways, glad to join you all, and will be looking forward to sharing my journey on my C50 with you.

Aloha and Mahalo,

Feo

Don't know why I put off getting a bike so long, it's a blast! Anyway, joined up to hopefully find some good modification ideas, since the aftermarkets a little slim on this model.

Did I catch hell for that? LOL. Rode for a few months and got a 2008 C50T. Thought I was hot stuff and didnot see a red light runner. I was turning and grabbed a handful of front brake. Spent 100 days bed-bound after four days in the hospital.

Got back on the bike in mid October and have driven over 1200 miles since then. Having more fun than I deserve.

During my earlier years I spent 22 years in the Army and then opened a photography studio in 1974. My son joined me a few years later and I am trying to retire and let him do most of the work.

Have a question about lowers for my bike. Can anyone show me what they look like and will they reduce wind on my legs/torso. I have the OEM windshield.

Thanks,

Larry
