Title: New to the S40 World - With PICS
Post by Nailz on 07/18/13 at 14:51:42

I picked up a 2006 S40 with 10K miles last Monday for a great price. The engine runs great, but the Jardine exhaust needs some hush-hush put to it. I've seen a few posts on ways to quiet it down, so I have it off with the baffle removed for now. I'll sort it out soon.

It is missing the right side cover which I found on ebay and it is on the way. I still need the chrome cover that I believe would cover the tool bag on the same side. Is that what it covers?

Thanks!

drop $20.00 & get a dyna muffler. looks good, sounds good, easy to get the carb right.

I might end up doing that if my idea doesn't work.

cover is #17. Has a lock #22 that works w/ignition key. Might need #23 and #16 depending on what you're missing. Try to find someone on here that's got take off parts before you buy new. New is a little bit pricey for what this stuff is IMO.

Thanks for the link. I bought one from a forum member. We'll see what else I need after it gets here. I'm just glad that the bike runs great.

Try to get a key with the same letter on it
then you'll be able to get it rekeyed to use the ig key.
but since the box is low security anyway, a couple of pins is enough.
see tool box rekeying in the tech section.

I bought this bike for my wife to "move up to" so to speak. She currently has a 2007 Virago 250 and we have done multiple 100+ mile rides on the scenic Georgia back roads. I will post a few pics so you get a better idea. This is a learning bike.

She loves the torque compared to the Virago already. A new rear tire goes on tomorrow. This bike will be for sale so we can get a newer cleaner version of the S40.

A few of my past rides... but certainly not all of them! I am leaving out my Tupperware Torpedo craze bikes.

This is a 2005 1200 Sportster Custom. A really nice bike. I put 10,000 miles on it and it was a great scooter.

This was an 883 I picked up and put 10,000 miles on. Nice ride.

This was a bike I got such a good deal on it was crazy.

This was a Buell Blast I bought with less than 200 miles on it. My son put almost 9000 miles on it and we sold it for what we paid for it. A very under rated bike in my opinion.

This was a DRZ400 I bought and put 10,000 miles on it. Great bike, but not freeway friendly.

This was my Road King I called Oprah. Really nice bike and I loved it when I had it. I put 28,000 + miles on it I believe.

I am not tall, but I do love motorcycles. My motto:

Ride as many as you can, Live the experience, post pics if you have them!

4 wheels moves the body.... 2 wheels moves the soul!
