I've been a bit busy this weekend. It was either work on the bike or got to PIR for European Bike Day. It was a tough choice, but the itch to wrench won't be denied.

I put on the fender, headlight, turn signals, exhaust, glued the side panels and glued taillight to the seat pan. I also did the wiring mods and changed the jetting on the carb.

Its about 95% done, now for that last fiddly 5%. Tongue

A couple of the things left to do: compression release lever, and sort out some kickstand issues.

Now for the pics:


Look, its a carb! (With K&N filter)

This stand works good... and when lowered you can drive a car over the center. (4 inches high.) Also, had a coupon for it...

It LIVES!

Well, at least it cranks.
 Wink

I hooked up the battery, no sparks or smoke. waytogo

The headlight, tail light and brake lights work  Smiley, but the turn signals don't Tongue.

The starter cranks, but I haven't hooked up the fuel tank to the carb yet. I want to make sure the fuel petcock doesn't leak before it hook it up.

I got the compression release lever installed, fixed the turn signal issues, & installed the kick stand.  waytogo

Unfortunately the fuel tank leaks at the fuel petcock. Tongue  I'll go ask the experts at http://www.suzukisavage.com.

I just found out that the vacuum operated petcock on the S40 is a piece of crap and should be replaced by one from a Yamaha Raptor. Undecided

I got one on order from eBay. waytogo
