I have an aesy question for y'all. My owners manual says that the bike comes with a tool kit, but there was not one on it. Is this worth going back to thedealer about, or is it just a cheap kit that is not worth having?

Aparently Savages have plug access issues, I thimk there's a mod called the trap door mod which allows you to get at the plug without taking the tank off. Somebody will tell you there good like that here. Clive W

Evebn tho its a bunnch of cheap stuff, the pouch fits the tool kit area & the sparkplug socket fits down the hole. My others wont.The belt adjusting tool is nice looking, polish it up & hang it where you can see it, just dont use it. The tools for busting the axle out are nice enough. Yea, I'd whine about it & get my toolkit.

flcruzr Ex Member	Re: tool kit Reply #8 - 07/14/08 at 05:58:07 I got mine with my manual and paper work when I picked up my bike, Also, where does the tool kit go? Is there somewhere to store it on the bike? I noticed the chrome box on the right hand side but it does not seem to fit in there. Do you guys carry the kit around with you?

Drop the extra screwdriver blade into a deep socket, open the pliers up so the handles fall together, stack it all in there neatly & then it fits. To make it easier, leave the belt adjusting brass plunger out.

Yep.... think of it as a puzzle. First time is tough, but from then on it will be easy.

I called Suzuki and they said things in the maual are subject to change. They no longer provide one. I guess I have to put my own together.

I can't believe they wouldn't include that kit? My 07 came with one! It was in with the owners manual, original title, etc. that the dealer opened in front of me.
