Finally!
06/08/06 at 13:40:38

I am now the owner of a bouncing baby S40! Brand new 2005 S40... put the plate on her today! Unfortunately, because of this stupid new england weather, I am forced to leave her at the dealer until it clears up. But, she's mine!

They tried to talk me into the 4 year warranty for $899! What the hell is that!? He just put it on without even asking! I said: "Hell no!" I'll be voiding that warranty within the first few weeks anyways...

Guido Ex Member	Re: Finally! Reply #4 - 06/08/06 at 17:44:19 Uh, he was trying to rip you off dude, the suzi extended warranty is $499. Covers everything except wearable items like oil, brakes, tires, etc. They told me at my scheduled service I would only be charged for oil and filter. Needless to say I turned it down. I'll pay as I go and do most of it myself. Gotta learn how to do those valves!!

Veritas Ex Member	Re: Finally! Reply #5 - 06/08/06 at 17:48:25 Exactly why I said take it off. He was trying to tell me I wouldn't void the warranty by changing the muffler, opening up the carb, changing things. I'm not putting a grand of warranty on a 4 grand bike. I get to pick her up tomorrow! Rain or shine, it's coming back to my driveway.

I decided to wait. Don't know what the majority opinion is. I just wanted to get it broken in a little and let everything seat the way it's supposed to. While I was waiting I stocked up on parts!! Still waiting for the Screamin Eagle. 3 weeks now. The ebay seller sent it to the wrong address Angry

waiting for the recipient to send it to me and I sent his item to him. What a pain.

First- Congrat's!
Second- screw any extended warranty- all these extended warranties and prepaid service plans are just a big scam.
Third- It doesnt have anything to do with the milage, sevices, waranties and so on. The rule is- first ride, evaluate, diagnose and after that -fix.
So first ride Your new bike as long as it is necessary to see what do You like and what You don't and after that go step by step.

Trippah Serious Thumper Offline I ride, therefore I am. Posts: 2517 central Mass Gender:	Re: Finally! Reply #10 - 06/08/06 at 19:45:38 Congratulations on the new bouncing baby S40. I think the forecast is for almost an hour without rain this weekend. Oh well. enjoy. And personally I'd spend 4-500 miles getting used to it before diving in. Although, if blueing the pipes is what you hate to do, then some mods very early would be called for.

my suzi is also new and has only ll5 miles on it so far.

Im lovin it, and lovin that she is not too heavy, since we tipped over once in my friends driveway (not realizin the ground was really softer than i thought) and i was able to get her up quickly (no scratches)

since there is no gas gauge and the tank holds 2.7 gallons around every l00 miles i will just add 2 gallons. (easy to remember that way)

she has great get up and go and Im enjoying that downshifting occasional backfire.

Ive got her all dressed up, saddlebags, backrest and back rack, nice fringe for my grips will be next.

mine is that pearl baby blue color, lovin it!

Enjoy your new baby..........

Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Like Starmom I am also the proud owner of an S40...I rode mine until after the 600 mile check up before doing anything. I just wanted to get it all broke in and I wanted the time to learn what I did and did not like.

I have the red one and have added a few things to it and I love my S40...hopefully you will have some good weather and get to ride.

Welcome to the group from Arkansas... 8)

Reply #14 - 06/09/06 at 05:21:04 Congrats on the ride! - more than likely the spacer has the most effect on blue/gold control as that is where the throttle spends most of the time
