What kind of jet to buy for 2005 S40.
03/28/08 at 08:48:49

I bought a new screamin' eagle style pipe for my bike and I wanted to upgrade the jets and air filter too. The air filter is no problem, but I don't know what kind of performance jet is best to buy? I found a "LEVEL IV JET KIT FOR SUZUKI BOULEVARD S40 AND SAVAGE LS 650" on ebay, but I have no idea what that means? That company has Level 1 to 4 jet kits and I don't want to buy the wrong one. My first thought was just get the level 4 because you'd think that's the best, but I wanted to ask the experts first. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

mikuni large round 150 or 152.5 depending on what else you do to the intake/exhaust

do you write RPG?

Verslagen1,
Thanks, I'll check out Lancer's jets. I'm new to the site and still feelin' my way around. I wish I'd found this place a long time ago!

Reelthing,
That tells me that the Stage IV would have been too much because it's 157.5. Looks like I need a Stage 1 or 2. I'll check out Lancer's jets first and then decide. Yes I've been an RPG programmer for many years. I can write in VB, COBOL, SQL, etc. also, but I make my living in RPG.

just curious - must be an old geezer like most of the rest of us!

anyway - lancer can send you the jets or you can rder them online - in very rare cases you'll have a motorcycle shop around that has them - some HD shops do

on that SE2 pipe and a K&N - a good place to start is with a 152.5 and the 1/2 white spacer mod to richen up the mid range - might end up with a 155 - but you'll need to tune the carb - read up on these:

Reply #6 - 03/28/08 at 12:31:11 Speaking of air filters, I've seen several advertised for the Savage that are cone-shaped. Don't see how in the world that could fit on the S40?! Granted I'm a novice and just beginning to do my own work, but it seems like trying to put a square peg in the round hole. ha

Reply #8 - 03/28/08 at 13:51:41 Yea, I sent him a PM about the jets and will ask the filter too when he replies. Demin, saw your bike on another post .... NICE! I was thinking about chrome-plating my forks but now I think I might just paint them to match the body.

Reply #9 - 03/28/08 at 14:07:29 Thank you.They were nicked pretty bad,that's why I painted them.If you strip the clearcoat off the forks ,the aluminum polishes up nice too.Look closely under the headlight at the bottom tree it's polished.
