This is my 2004 Suzuki Intruder 800. In this video I talk about the changes done to the exhaust and I also include some acceleration clips.

There isn't a cruiser bike that looks as good in stock form as a Suzuki VS intruder.So much fun to ride and look at on a sunny day with all that chrome. My dream bike for almost 40 years......

This is a beautiful and honest motorcycle, with a perfect drivetrain and design. You don't need more to be happy on the road. I don't understand why Suzuki doesn't rebuild this bike again with this perfect design. I think this bike is beautiful and you are lucky to own it. I wish you an accident-free journey and lots of great experiences.

I agree! The bike is very easy to handle and surprisingly nimble for having a long wheel base.

Have a 2001 with stock exhaust, but some owner along the line drilled three 1/2 holes in the back wall inside of each pipe. It sounded rad, but personally I like a quieter ride, so I plugged them back up with bolts. Seems like an easy mod approach and also easily reversible when needed. It was also very hard to tell it was modded (it took me a few weeks to find those holes). Thanks for the video, this bike is at my folks place I ride it when I visit them. It’s a great inexpensive and reliable ride that doesn’t seem to mind sitting.

I totally agree with you! I have it sitting all winter and all I do is plug the battery in again and starts right up every time. I got the bike with the exhaust already like that and it’s my favourite part of the bike. Aftermarket exhausts are very limited for this bike.

I have been looking at a lot of Intruders on KZfaq and I have to say you have the nicest one I have seen. I like the silver paint job as it goes well with the chrome. The pipes are badassed too. Ride on!

You said the piece that connects the two pipes has been removed. What does that do and how did you do it? I am picking up my Intruder next weekend and I will want to make some pipe modifications too.
@davidcaira10708 жыл бұрын
+Enigma I bought the bike this way, but what u need to do is find a big enough drill bit and just drill a bigger hole in the muffler. The piece of pipe that joined both pipes together was simply cut out and blocked off with a welder. Btw, have fun with your new bike man!!
@trevorjameson32134 жыл бұрын
@@afterburner2869 That is called a cross-over pipe and it's part of the exhaust tuning. It has to do with balancing the exhaust pulses from each cylinder. Old British twins had them, like BSA, Norton, and Triumph. Also Harley sportsters have them. If you remove the cross-over pipe, you will lose a little bit of power. Unless, you go to a 2 into 1 tuned pipe, which has no cross-over because the collector does that job instead.

Trevor Jameson I waited three years for a reply, but better late than never! Thanks for the information. I still have my Intruder and have put about 20,000 miles on it. I did some minor mods to the muffler but have kept the cross-over pipe. Thanks again for the information.👍🏻

Bro, it literally sounds like a DR 650. That's so awesome! You know what I have one and when I ride it I literally feel like I'm banging through the gears on a DR. 350 only. There's two cylinders and they're 400s. You know what I'm saying. It's just two DR400 in a 45° angle. Essentially it feels like it too. When you ride it, you really can't be Japanese reliability in quality

Do you still have it ? I got one 2003 because price was so good that i had to :) but it feels weak. I am used to stronger bikes so I wanted to compare if thats the way those bikes are or does mine need some adjustments. It will be daily commuter so I am not looking for power just want to make sure its in peak shape. I live in GTA too.
