Suzuki Savage S40 Mikuni carb cold start choke/idle adjustment

[@GwenMotoGirl]

One of the many reasons that I love my Suzuki Savage.

Will this work for a Suzuki gs 550l

@@Chevy-ke5kn I don’t know but the best info I’ve found is in the Suzuki Savage owners group. Google your motorcycle owners group and I bet you’ll find a group with good info.

Love the white walls and vintage Brit license plate.

Hey, I thought I was some guitar guy! Thanks for checking in. I’m looking for a one size smaller white wall next time. It’s so close to the fender

[@ericweber1969]

Nice short video! I hope you'll be able to do some more content on your great bikes soon, love both your SR and the Savage/S40!

[@poormansmotorcycleclub7581]

Thanks, Man! I'm working on a long-term review on my Triumph Speedmaster, but I'm woking TV hours these days, and shooting my own projects is taking forever

[@ericweber1969]

I hear you, thanks for the quick update. Short videos are cool too. Looking forward to the Speedmaster review, I always liked those. It seems that we have similar taste in bikes! 😁

great work pls make more for savage thanks for your sharings!

[@poormansmotorcycleclub7581]

Thank YOU!

[@SD-th6jv]

That was pretty neat! I didn't know it was that simple. You should make more videos. What is the advantage of a Mikuni carb over a stock carburetor?

[@poormansmotorcycleclub7581]

Thanks for checking in and for the kind words. That little Mikuni is the factory carb on the simple but very fun Suzuki S 40. I’ve had two of them, this is one that I put a Blue Collar Bobber kit on on. That conversion is detailed on another video on my channel. I’m working on a new video right now about a year vintage Yamaha two-stroke I just acquired.

Is it the nature of the beast to constantly have to play with the idle screw and choke on these bikes depending on the weather?

[@Mmm66689]

can you please do a review on the S40 like the one you did on the SR400? Thanks

[@poormansmotorcycleclub7581]

That’s a good idea. What I have on hand is a bobbed Savage, and I have a long video on that restoration, but I think I’m gonna take this idea. Thanks!

@@poormansmotorcycleclub7581 S40 is bit old, but I think it is a very good and honest bike. Not many video on KZbin because it is not a new model.

[@jeffwalker7381]

Thanks for the tip. My bike has been stalling and couldn’t find what to do until this video. Did you initially turn the screw clockwise or counter clockwise?

[@shermanallen]

Looks like clockwise to raise revs. You’ll find out in half a turn. Thanks!

[@josejaimeceja3979]

clockwise= increases the rpm / counterclockwise = slows down the rpm

[@jagpreetsangha7393]

I got my self one and when idling and choke ain’t engaged it bogs out how can I fix that ?

[@shermanallen]

Not sure, but those Mikunis are a very easy rebuild for any good mechanic. Thanks for watching and truly good luck.

[@shermanallen]

I couldn’t say. I’ve only adjusted mine a couple of times in five years.

[@Andy-dr2hi]

What muffler did you use with this build? It sounds great!

[@poormansmotorcycleclub7581]

Thanks! I just pointed to the cheapest cool-looking one in a catalog at a mechanic's shop. $79. I'll dig around and see if I can find the details. Thanks for watching!

[@caitlinali1669]

@@poormansmotorcycleclub7581 yes I would like to know also. And did you change your jets with it also?

[@poormansmotorcycleclub7581]

@@caitlinali1669 Thanks for checking in. I assume the jets are factory. I just picked a $75 muffler out of a catalog, I’m afraid I don’t remember any details

[@caitlinali1669]

@@poormansmotorcycleclub7581 ok thanks for the response!

[@iuyozx]

Don't let the bike idle on the side stand. Supposedly its bad for the right cam lobe.

[@poormansmotorcycleclub7581]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@santhakumar7959]

Make videos more frequently.
