Title: Tool Kit Post by johnnyyuma on 04/13/13 at 13:45:55 I bought a 2009 S40 recently and the took kit box was empty. Do they still provide tool kits for these bikes when they are new, or do they have a box for tools but no actual tool kit? |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by apache snow on 04/13/13 at 13:50:03 You can still get a tool kit from Suzuki but I believed for the S40 they eliminated most of the tools in the kit. And the belt checking tool will have to be purchased separately as well. The S40 tool kit is part # 09800-21055 and only has a couple of wrenches, a pair of pliers and an allen wrench. The belt checker is part # 96220-24B00. The savage tool kit with the others wrenches is part # 09800-21012 and cost a little more. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by johnnyyuma on 04/13/13 at 13:52:12 And, did the old took kits have that belt checking tool included?? |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by johnnyyuma on 04/13/13 at 14:00:51 Ok, thanks for that good information. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by SALB on 04/13/13 at 14:03:22 Most of us don't use the belt tool. There's an alternate method in the Tech section using just your fingertips. ;) |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by johnnyyuma on 04/13/13 at 14:23:16 And I did read the "alternate method" of checking the belt. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by rfw2003 on 04/13/13 at 14:29:53 Your far better off building your own tool kit and putting it in one of your saddle bags, or getting a Fork bag and putting them in there. The factory kits what's in them are junk tools that don't work worth a darn. You can't even get the seat off with them. R.F. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by apache snow on 04/13/13 at 14:34:11 Yeah, thats what I did. I also replaced the seat bolts to ones that are easier to get loose. |
|
Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by johnnyyuma on 04/13/13 at 14:37:28 So, did you change the seat bolts to what, allen head bolts? |

I bought some allen head bolts for it but ended up using some phillips head bolts I got from Ace hard ware. I have not had any trouble getting them off and I have had the seat off a bunch lately with tuning the carb and installing the saddle bags. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by johnnyyuma on 04/13/13 at 15:13:00 When you go to get bolts like that, do you know the sizes or do you take the other bolt with you and have them figure that out? |

I take the bolts with me and match it up. They have the nuts on a board with the sizes on them. Its easy to match them up. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by rfw2003 on 04/13/13 at 15:41:25 I'm using some quick release pins I got from Verslagen for my seat, I can get mine off in just a few seconds. R.F. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by arteacher on 04/13/13 at 15:47:59 The tools in the kit are reasonable quality, except for the finish. That said, most of us have made up our own kits, according to what we will or won't attempt on the side of the road. And if you are going to make up a kit don't forget to get Japanese spec'd Philips head screw drivers. Japanese Philips head screws are different than regular Philips head screws and can be easily stripped with a regular screw driver. You will find a ton of posts here about stripped screws and it is usually because people were not using the proper screw driver. |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by Digger on 04/13/13 at 19:31:49 I made two small additions to my OEM tool kit that will allow me to take the seat off using same: First, a trip to Harbor Freight for some socket caps (I used the middle one for my tool): http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee201/Digger109/LS650/SeatBoltTool-SocketCapsE.jpg Then I rummaged around and found a cheapo 3/8" drive 10mm socket. Here are the components of the tool I made (the article on the right is the 12mm "socket" from the OEM tool kit): http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee201/Digger109/LS650/SeatBoltToolAssyE.jpg Here is what everything looks like put together (I use the screwdriver bit from the OEM toolkit as a "T-Handle" for the 12mm socket): http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee201/Digger109/LS650/SeatBoltTool-CompleteE.jpg The additional parts (the 3/8" drive socket cap and the 10mm socket) fit easily into the OEM toolkit bag, along with the rest of the tools. Works for me! |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by houstonbofh on 04/13/13 at 20:33:17 Very cool addition! |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by WD on 04/13/13 at 22:12:28 Savages came with the belt tension widget. it's basically useless. The factory tools make great fishing weights, other than that basically useless. The plate the "tools" attached to is a great place to relocate the starter solenoid once you've changed the stock rear fender. 2 1/4-20x1 bolts, 4 1/4-20 nuts, 2 lock washers. Drill out the top of the box for a tractor starter button, delete the kill switch, and run a stand alone throttle boss... Well, that's the stage mine is at... |

Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by ToesNose on 04/15/13 at 04:49:48 Hmmm I might have to pull the trigger on some pins :) |
|
Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by SVSavage on 04/15/13 at 14:24:07 I also just bought a used 2005 S40 that was missing the toolkit. Does anyone have a list of what sizes wrenches or sockets are good to carry with you? I noticed when working on the bike most bolts are 10mm or 12mm. |
|
Title: Re: Tool Kit Post by verslagen1 on 04/15/13 at 15:18:16 I would think you'd want to be able to do any adjustment. 14 or 17 for the mirrors 10 for the seat and tank small flat screwdriver for the carb. and then for most repairs all you need is a BFH. ;D |
