Fuel System, Gasoline · at 6,500 miles · reported Sep 5, 2004
I have a 2002 suzuki intruder 1500,motorcycle, I recently smelled gas coming from the bike, I then discovered a crack in the fuel tank itself,I AM on a 1500 intruder forum and there are aprox. 20 or so others that have experienced have the same crack in the same place on the tank, this is a major defect that the suzuki corp chooses to ignore.

I have replaced the plug and wire and have attempted to construct a water shield. All of these efforts have failed. Water still gets in whenever it rains. Two suzuki dealers have told me that nobody else has ever had this problem and yet an online search reveals that riders all over the world are victim to this design flaw.
Engine and Engine Cooling · at 4,000 miles · reported Jun 10, 2004
At 4000 miles on my 2002 suzuki dr650se motorcycle, the cylinder base gasket is leaking oil over the engine and rear of the bike including the rear tire.

Suzuki has also updated this gasket to a new type for 2004 which in my opinion, tells me that suzuki acknowledges the problem. This problem is not isolated to me and can be prooven by numerous post on web sites including thumpertalk.com, yahoo dr650 group and many others.…
