Title: S40 or ls650
Post by beacon on 04/06/12 at 20:10:57

I'm ordering a tkat fork brace and the manufacturer wants to know if my 2006 is an s40 or ls650. Any idea which it is? I thought they were both the same, although when I look at a parts fiche for a 2006 it is called out as an ls650.

My 06 said S40 on the side of it.

Up to 2004, it's an ls650 savage.  2005 and newer, and it's an ls650 S40-Boulavard. :o

S40 it is, 'though, amusingly, I have the owners manual that came with my '07, and it says "LS650" on the cover; and various of the drawings inside are clearly of an S40.

In any case, you're going to love the TKat. FWIW, my $.02 on removing the plastic fork guards: tapping front-back-front-back, etc., with a piece of wood & a hammer, you can lift them off the lowers then cut them with a pair of scissors. If you do a whole lot of anal-retentive fidgeting with the installation (I did), it may take you all of half an hour. Enjoy!

Side covers say S40, but has LS650 on cover of owners manual. I tell people it's a Savage.

They are all LS650.  Some are Savage and some are S40.

Yes, finally; wisdom.  :)
LS650 Savage from the 1980's to 2004, and LS650 S40 from 2005 to present.
Next year ?
Who knows ?

Just wondering what the difference is when ordering the brace.

S40 has a fork deflector, he may put a step in there to accommodate it.

My 2005 S40 has a Boulavard badge on the tank. All Suzuki's became Boulavards in 2005.  S40,C50, C50T, M50, etc.

Beacon, if your bike is a 2005 or above it's an S40, if below its a "savage" or an "ls650".. they have made minor changes to the bike 3 times since 1986, but those tiny changes are enough to impact certain parts and stuff.. aha
