Just got my first Suzuki S40
02/20/11 at 21:18:04

Hello guys,

My name is Jan Da Silva and I just got my first S40 for the intentions of getting the RYCA kit. The bike was manufactured 10/06 and I got it for $1,500 with 3943 miles on it. The previous owner did not took good care of it and I just wanted to start making it run and look good again.

The bike ride just fine now but I know it needs service. I just bought the oil filter and oil to change it and a Dynojet Kit for the carburetor.

I dont know much about bikes but Im can work with mechanical stuff since I used to be a F-18 engine mechanic for the US NAVY. (I know bikes and planes are not the same.)

I was planning on getting the Clymer Manual to install the jet kit and to try and adjust the valves or any other type of service for it. Do you guys think that with that manual this things can be done??? Is there any other instructions that will help me out to do this things better than that manual ??? This questions might have been answered before but i did try to look for them but couldnt find them. Please help.

Have a great day guys and hope to ride the comments.

Service...oil and filter change for sure,......but not sure why you would want to hack the carb if it runs good now. Many of these bikes are running good w/o any re jetting.

You may be pleased with the MPG & power.

Thanks for the replies. I will attach some pictures of the bike (will try since this will be my second post). I decided to do the re-jetting and get the carb clean since the bike misfire every time I let go of the throttle on high rpm. The bike sounds loud so I believe there was something done with the muffler. Let me know what could be the cause for the misfire. What about the clymer manual?? should it be a good Idea to have it for me to work with the misfire issue??

Thanks again.

But know that we have identified a few errors in it. I think there is a link in the Tech section of errors that have been found.

Posts: 3802 WV Gender:	Re: Just got my first Suzuki S40 Reply #7 - 02/22/11 at 05:50:27 Jan, if I am not mistaken (long-timers help me out here...) I would NOT buy that one on Ebay. Looks like a listing from a seller that we have not had good dealings with. Name is different, but looks like the same guy to me. Anyone agree? (Not to mention, that price is way too high!)

There are better Bike tech tuners here than I, but if you are talking about a stumble or misfire when you back off from hi speed throttle,
I would be looking for a "rich" fuel condition, maybe cause a dirty air filter.

Piglet, I believe you're correct. Even if it isn't the same guy, I would suspect any ebay item coming from Land-O-Lakes Florida just on the chance it might be him.
