well i got my intruder home from the shop and turns out it was the battery that was causing all the problems. but i noticed anfter riding today my gear housing has a slow leak coming from whear the gears mount to the rear wheel. is their a seal in their? and if so it it easy to change? its a really slow leak so im gonna keep riding it and checking the fluid every ride as i dont go far just to and from work about 10miles. any advice? is this a common thing? thanks guys
 
Yes, there is a seal in the final drive. It is not common for it to leak, but it is not unheard of either, especially in a bike as old as yours. It is nothing that can be done at home, as it requires several specialty tools and special skills.
If you call the local Suzuki dealer and tell them the final drive seal is leaking, they should be able to look it up in the book and tell you how many hours of labor the job calls for and what it will cost. A local ship can probably do it for you, but the dealer's estimate will give you a good baseline to compare savings, and to make sure the shop is charging you for the right number of labor hours.
 
well its not leaking i talked to the tech at the shop they had to put some axle greese when they changed the rear tire cause it was a little stiff is was worried. he said it smells alot like gear oil and not to be worried! whew! i can sleep better tonight!
