Kick stand safety switch, try it after putting up the kickstand.

M109 bullies usually have a 3 lt capacity. This is what i had on my bully. Fill per pint and check level. But prepare for 3lt if you do a oil change. Add 500ml for filter

where ever you get it fix at make sure you get new shifting forks and replace fifth gear. dont ask no question just do it and you will be satisfied

Either oil will work, check your owners manual, it may say what came with it. If in doubt use full synthetic. You can't go wrong in doing that.

Sometimes, the easy solutions, are the best. Here are a few ideas. 1) Check your sparkplugs. Are they burnt? Are they gapped correctly? Are they the right plugs? 2) What kind of gas are you using? A lower octane fuel will not burn eficiantly enough, and could leave carbon deposits on the plugs.3) Check your air filter. After sitting for the winter, I suggest replacing the air filter, spark plugs, and engine oil, EVERY SPRING!

one starter fuse inside battery box.other behind left side cover.

you have a dead short clean all your earths up

you can buy a sticker that fits on the clock face that converts it ! cheaper than a clock !

you cant you need miles clocks as the gears ratio is differant, or get a replacement clock face cove this involves stripping the clocks and fitting a new over lay over the originals

Hi David, ignition switch.....and control circuit is in there. regards,nuwan

check wires and earth to rear lights !

It could be the battery. Does it crank when you press the start button.

The two friction plates " off to the side " are the first and last plates to go into the clutch assembly. They are usually .005 to .007 thicker than the center plates. There's no extra link in the drive train that would mimic slippage. The springs are not likely to be the problem, especially since you have new ones. The usual sources for the problem are resistance in the drive train; on the stand, does the wheel turn freely in neutral? Is there any binding in the shaft drive? Another source is using the wrong lubricant in the gearbox. Use what Suzuki sells for the bike. I think the clutch is hydraulic on that bike. A bad slave or master cylinder could cause back pressure and not let the clutch fully engage.

Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap? Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

A broken timing chain is the most likely cause, the piston is hitting an open valve, or you have a dropped valve or a stuck valve. Another possibility is something jamming behind behind the side covers.The key would be how you discovered this? Driving along at 105 and the engine stopped, or ???https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+suzuki+boulevard+timing+chain+or+timing+belt....
