Routy Fri, 24 May 2013 16:09:52 +0000 Well, I know how I would break in a brand new s-40, I'd just ride it normally, but not aggressively. I break in new cars the same way. <br /><br />Never ever went wrong w/ that method.<br /><br />In reality, this day and age, breaking in new engines, motorcycles/cars etc is a thing of the past. If you ask, you are told to drive normally. <br /> http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1369369576 SuzukiSavage.com/Rubber Side Down! gdrseeker Fri, 24 May 2013 15:55:43 +0000 I have one for sale. I recently swapped it with the one on my bike to make sure it works, and it does.  If you are interested I will sell it for $80 shipped US.  E-mail gdrseeker@gmail.com <br /><br />I also have both the smaller starter idle gears and pins they are part #1 #2 #3 and #4 on the diagram in the linked posting above. mine are pre 1995 so they dont have the limiter, but I will throw them in cheap. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1367435450 SuzukiSavage.com/Rubber Side Down! jcstokes Fri, 24 May 2013 15:14:11 +0000 Be interesting to see if it's more economical in the 100 - 120 KMPH range. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1369112183 SuzukiSavage.com/Rubber Side Down! renegade1 Fri, 24 May 2013 13:31:29 +0000 Greg has been very useful and supplied the sound bites for the dyna with drilled holes and its for sure what I'd like to for sure. Big thank you to you Greg http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1369359085 SuzukiSavage.com/Rubber Side Down! paulmarshall Fri, 24 May 2013 13:07:15 +0000 Different. I like it. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1369266862 SuzukiSavage.com/Rubber Side Down! DavidOfMA Fri, 24 May 2013 11:08:51 +0000 I don't have a tach, but it sounds (compared to a metronome recording) slightly slower than 1000 rpm cold, with the choke halfway out (and goes about 8mph on a level road at idle), about 1000rpm after I've ridden it a couple miles and pushed the choke in, and slightly over 1200rpm after it's hot. I use the choke to raise the cold idle speed, which seems easier than twisting the idle speed screw with gloves on. But whatever works. Wish these things had a tach. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1369365955 SuzukiSavage.com/Rubber Side Down! 12Bravo Fri, 24 May 2013 05:09:45 +0000 1bozo,<br /><br />You have a short somewhere.<br /><br />I had a similar problems except it was the throttle cable getting hot and melting the plastic liner. What caused it was the positive connector for the battery tender and rubbed up against the battery cover and shorted out.
