2007 S40 Mod List Help
03/05/16 at 19:17:22

Hi everyone,

Happy to be a member now! I just picked up a 2007 S40 and was hoping I could get some help with initial mods to do, performance upgrades and where is the best place for a solo seat and chopped rear fender? I've been looking all over the internet but only found a rear mudguard that is close to what I want.

I understand switching to the Raptor 660 Petcock and the HD Dyna are quick and cheap upgrades, as well as the Cam Chain Tensioner.

So far I have removed the windscreen, bags, front turn signals, Corbin seat replaced with stock for now (wanting solo seat) and adjusted the handlebars.

Thank you!

Best mods to be done first....is proper carb jetting, and a DYNA muffler if you want a bit lighter muffler with just a bit more motorcycle sound. The stock paper air cleaner works fine with the stock engine and stock carb.

Beyond that it starts to get a bit expensive. The cam can be changed, the piston can be swapped for a Wiseco with higher compression and even bigger bore sizes, the head can get a little bit of port work. With those mods you might be able to bump your 30 HP up to nearly 40.....it certainly makes a noticeable difference - but it does get costly.

Follow this..
Ride the bike and get a feel for it, is this a bike for you to learn on or what?
The Savage is a great first bike and also a great forver bike.
It lacks its comfort at 65mph but is ok.

New Raptor 660 petcock is a great place to start for reliability then maybe a slipon for noise and a rejet, remember that the bike will sing at 65mph and could get annoying, that's the reason a dyna is recommended (bike will be singing not yelling)

I got this bike strictly to chill out a bit from my 600rr. I just wanted a new project bike and liked the way this bike is set up stock. I am not worried about noise as I am coming from the 600rr with headers and toce exhuast (baffles removed). It screams haha. I did purchase the Dyna muffler (cored out and great condition), can't wait to install!
