congrats on your recent purchase I went 30 years 1982-2012 between owning(and riding) bikes before buying a brand new 2011 on 8-21-12 there's nothing like it in life the feeling is one that must be experienced to know(like almost everything) and if you rode it home for 2 hours - you've already started to trust it the s40 is so easy to handle/manuver and to find this site was a big plus read up on the posts within many great minds at work get an oil with enough ZDDP immediately

I have an older ls650 service manual and it looks like it is just 2 wires - has anyone done this and is it as simple as I'm supposing?

I love this bike - it is what I've always wanted.
A simple, light, get me anywhere without hassle machine.
Am going to do a service on Monday.
One was done not too long ago but I have bad experience with previous owners on other bikes so am playing it super safe now this beauty's mine.
I have paperwork that says it went to a mechanic to sort out backfiring - nada - still does it, so that's something I will be looking at this week as well.
Will adjust the idle when I do.
Wanted to get rid of park because I think it's a stupid function and I don't trust myself - I'll be in a rush one day and leave it in park and end up with a no go battery.
I can't believe I own such a lovely new bike - I must be getting somewhere in this world Cheesy

Anyone know what this tail light is? I think I wanna get me one.
