Additional Notes

  • The Suzuki VL 1500 Intruder / C90 Boulevard cooling system holds 2.7 liters across all listed configurations, covering both the 2005-2012 and 2013- production variants. This consistent capacity figure applies regardless of the service interval schedule in use.
  • Under normal use conditions, the VL 1500 Intruder / C90 Boulevard carries a coolant change interval of 48,000 km or 48 months, whichever comes first. This longer interval applies to both the 2005-2012 and 2013- variants.
  • An alternative acceptable coolant type reduces the change interval on the VL 1500 Intruder / C90 Boulevard to 24,000 km or 24 months. The same shortened interval also applies when operating under normal conditions falling within service categories 1 or 2, again for both the 2005-2012 and 2013- variants.
  • The VL 800 Intruder / Volusia covering 2001-2007 specifies a fixed cooling system capacity of 1.5 liters, with a change interval expressed solely in time at 24 months, without a distance-based threshold.
  • The VL 800 Intruder / C50 Boulevard from 2008 onward lists a capacity range of 1.5 to 1.75 liters rather than a single fixed value. A capacity range of this kind typically reflects variation between a drain-and-refill service fill and a more thorough system flush that recovers additional fluid from passages and the reservoir.
  • The 24-month coolant change interval on the VL 800 variants, both the 2001-2007 Volusia and the 2008- C50 Boulevard, is shorter than the 48-month normal-use interval specified for the larger VL 1500 platform when using the standard coolant type.
