Title: Suzuki S40 Feeler Gauges
Post by Jason on 02/19/13 at 16:18:49

I'm trying to buy feeler gauges for my 2005 S40. I have no idea where to buy them. The space to work in in there is extremely tight, so I was looking for bent feeler gauges.

I checked Amazon.com, Sears, searched this forum, but I can't find any bent feeler gauges for .003-.005in.

Any one had this problem before? Any idea where I can buy offset gauges for that width?

Do you guys just bend your own gauges? Was hoping to not have to destroy them.

I've owned a couple of Suzuki LS650s over the years ('03 Savage & '05 S40) ... buy an extra set of feeler gauges at Crappy Tire ... they don't cost much ... and bend those suckers! Works like a charm! :)

Yup,.. my feelers are bent about 30' degrees 1 1/2" from the ends...

Dave, save me a set and I'll either get them from you when we go to the Dragon or maybe run over your way this spring.

Autozone, Pep Boys, O'Reilly, Advanced, NAPA, Carquest, National, Federated, Fleet Pride, Truck Pro, Tractor Supply Company, Walmart (sometimes), K-mart (sometimes), "Horror Fright" (Harbor Freight, really low end junk), Northern Tool (expensive version of Harbor Freight)...

Bike specific sources? Motion Pro, K&L Supply, local Honda or Yamaha dealership (who both can also get valve wrench/screwdriver combos), Cycle Gear (make them open a paper catalog), Western Power Sports, Drag Specialties, Custom Chrome, J&P Cycles...

I used to be in the bike industry and own a LOT of "obsolete" farm machinery (and 2 1990s Suzukis and 2 OLD Hondas). Oddball tools aren't that odd at my place. ;)
