[smiley=thumbsup.gif] I really like the two-tone paint on the new ones! Congrats - Time to accessorize and modify ;D

The paint scheme on the tank is very similar to some of the 60's BSA's

Fascar,

Welcome to this great site for info on your new great bike!
I like that paint, checked one out at our local stealership a few weeks ago, very nice.

Thank you all for a great welcome , really looking forward to riding this machine as soon as the weather clears. Its been raining for the last 2 days since I bought the bike, otherwise it wouldnt rain. I have been going thru the rubber side down threads, YES! it back fires I have the original muffler so its a pHufff at best. its quick and goes to 85-90 mph fairly quickly, handling is OK.....Its brand new!! i did 100km, its not a rever and happy to shift in the mid power range. It seems as if this is a diesel engined bike(due to the torque and low revs) as it runs happyily in 2nd/3rd &4th gears, 1st gear I think is for pulling tractor/semi's and the fifth is for consolation....BUT I AM LIKING THE CHANGE...the best it fits my height perfectly secondly its light as a feather compared to my previous bike (hondacb650sohc4). Any do's & don'ts would be welcome

do rejet the carb after you've done the break-in
do not forget to check your cam chain tensioner ever 5k mi or so.
do order verslagens modified tensioner to have when the chain finally does stretch (10-30k mi)

All the other crazy awesome stuff we do is optional.

I made the same change from honda cb 650 to Savage S40. You will save yourself some time if you read my post "Rejetting that works". Small changes make it smoother and emiminate the BIG BANG. There isn't another new bike out there that I would want to own. The Suzuki has a few warts, small tank etc. but no deal breakers.

Fascar, welcome and we have the same bikes..I love mine and get compliments on it all the time.
In the sunlight the white looks to have specks of gold and in case you didn't notice their is a gold pinstripe between the two colors.

I call my paint color, cranberry with a touch of pink which I love.. You are going to never want to stop riding once you start.
By the way I got mine the end of July and have just turned 3,000 miles. :)
