Title: how many miles will a s40 take before the moter bl Post by nickdacy on 06/18/14 at 16:37:25 I bought a s40 with a little over 6,000 miles. How long do these motors last. Can you guys give me a few tips about these bikes? |

(4 sets of tires, 4 batteries, new camchain adjuster, new stator, rebuilt steering bearings, on it's 3rd muffler)... Take care of it,.. and it will go 100k, or as long as you want, as long you you keep fixin' what breaks... |

You will have to replace timing chains and clutches. http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1391195461 |

Title: Re: how many miles will a s40 take before the mote Post by stinger on 06/19/14 at 03:03:40 53,200 miles... and so far not one mechanical repair needed. No leaks, runs quiet still, and hope to get 75 to 100,000 before engine rebuild. Somehow I'm still on my second cam chain. Didn't even know what one was until 33,000 and altho I'm getting ready to do the Versy mod just to be safe, the engine is still quiet and strong with no oil leaks at 53,000. Great idea he came up with because more of our bikes will be high mileage now. I was going to trade it in on a new one but this one has taken me across 15 states and back and always got me home. Still seems it has lots of miles left on it. Rejetted, Supertrapp, lancers high performance cam |

I am the least mechanical person you'd ever meet and everyone here has explained to me how to do things, etc. A bunch a good people on here. :) I've done basics like changing my oil, front brakes, handlebar adjustments, etcs but once I run into a problem or question, someone on here has an answer to help. |
