Hello everyone. I'm very new on this site and I would like to have a place to turn to when ever I run into any problems. I bought an 2005 Suzuki S40 three days ago. I did have problems with it but I fixed all of them by just being curiously wrenching around and cruising on this site
I have been riding the S40 since 1000 miles from a friends uncle and we low balled this to a thousand dollars with 4600 miles on the clock. Good deal because the brake were on steel, battery was as good as anything dead, missing parts, but I still keep it shine and is proud of owning one. Bought EBC brakes and works flawlessly and a new battery. I get plenty of attention on this light weight cruiser. But to list the pros/cons from my own experience:
Pros:
- 55-60 mpg (even with some throttle thrashing and 2 up)
- quiet belt drive
- The stock drag bars, I just love them!
- super easy to maintence
- low end grunt scares passenger
- low weight
Cons:
- It be nice to have an extra gallon, but I made a 120 mi. trip with 2 gallons without reserve
- vibrates everything like living hell! But it gives a sence it's fast and feels fast
Well, everyone enjoy riding!
