What I got was a book titled "Suzuki LS650 Service Manual", 10th edition, March 2004, part number 99500-36085-03E. The manual has information up to the LS650K4 model.
When I questioned the parts guy I was told that this is the most recent manual for the Savage/S40.
Can anyone confirm this?
Does Suzuki publish updates, and if so, how does one find out about them?
Many thanks.

With the exception of the decals, tank logo, and other cosmetic differences, your "Savage40" is the same as a 2004. I have the same manual, only updated to 1999. My bike is a 2000 and matches perfectly.
Didn't the 2004 have the emergency flasher system too? If so, that electrical change should be shown in the manual and apply to your 2005 as well. Compare your electrical schematic to the one that I posted in the Technical Corner. If fact you should have that one plus a new one.
I don't believe that you got ripped off or anything.
