My S40 was the first I ever owned too. Orange and black. I rode her as my main transport for 3 years until she was stolen. 6 years later, the cops found her, still in good shape. My uncle has her stored. Even though I ride a sport bike now, I can't wait to pick her up and restore to her former glory. Your video is super inspiring.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Awesome! Glad you got it back!

[@vanillagorilla6845]

How did it go?

[@motoservicezonanorte]

Congratulations! I just bought a 1987 Savage that hasnt been started for about 4 years. Your video inspires me. Thanks.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Awesome! Hope you get it going!

[@GwenMotoGirl]

I bought an ‘04 Savage that had not been started in 7 years. Carb rebuild, new fuel, new battery. Later new petcock valve. She’s running great.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

That’s awesome!

[@PJ-SC]

Just got my 2004 that wasn’t started for 12 years running. Same problems, carb, petcock, battery. Cleaned everything including the gas tank. New gas and it fired up immediately. Running like new now because it is new, only 53 miles on the clock.

[@GwenMotoGirl]

@@PJ-SC that’s great! I hope you have many beautiful and safe miles together. I put new tires on her a few weeks ago.

[@BracaPhoto]

The water came quit simply FROM THE ETHANOL in the old gasoline... Always use ethanol free if you plan to storing any of your engines

[@aggro0o886]

👈 I spoil mine and park it in the living room every winter. I love the one lung thumpers. Right now I'm doing the tensioner mod. 32,000miles

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Nice!

[@Stranglerxx77]

Mine started first time after 12 months sitting around and Suzuki always made strong engines

[@unsurprisingly]

Awesome Paul , it's coming up, Make a nice Ride , much love

Thanks!

[@frankhopper6269]

Well done in getting your bike up and running as it just needs a bit more fine tuning and you be back riding it a good video and will look forward to more on your motorcycle. Regards Frank and take care until your next video

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Thanks Frank!

[@151416able]

tks a lot

[@FirewoodMidwest]

If it’s been sitting for 13 years I would think about going ahead and rebuilding the carbs. You could be fighting it not running right till you do. Running lean like that will more than likely blue up your chrome exhaust pipes. Really not that much to rebuilding a carb. Heck you can probably find a video showing you how to do it. Best of luck to you!👍🏻

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Thanks!

[@chriscurry694]

Try using Heet (yellow bottle) to soak your carb in for three days and you’ll be surprised at just how much gunk you’ll pull out of your carb. Its the cheapest solution you’ll find on the market and it’s the least evasive product on the market when it comes to etching. It’s totally an amazing barnyard mechanics trick.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Thanks I actually have some of that. I’ve used it before and had good results

[@flashgordon3017]

hello Paul nice video. I would pour some seafoam into the gas tank it works well for me. I agree the brake piston is probably rusted in place take apart and clean and replace with new brake fluid and I bet that takes care of the brake. Were any mice beds or stuff in the air filter? at that many years the filter paper might be breaking down.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Thanks. I may try some seafoam I went out this evening and it fired right up. It’s keeps getting better. Surprisingly enough no mice in the air filter, I am going to change it though just to be sure it doesn’t pull any junk in.

[@chriscurry694]

Make sure you add extra ZDDP before starting. You can get zddp from your local auto zone.

[@user-it9ug6dh9d]

What is zddp ☺️

[@i94yeh2p]

It was nice to see that bike crank up. :) They don't make em' like that anymore. Great video! I'm currently looking at a Kawasaki Vulcan 750 that's been sitting for a while. I'm not much of a mechanic but for $700 I'm strongly considering it. The owner moving is the only reason he's selling. Needs it gone quick.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

I like those Vulcans too!

[@banjopatterson3574]

Believe it or not, The Suzuki Savage hasn't changed anything since they first came out in the 80s! The only difference in an old one and a new one is: mileage and the name Savage is now called an S40

[@potchmoto4888]

Ohh like mine

[@millonlimage9031]

Mon véhicule préféré est une motocyclette Honda Savage

[@WilliamsonRidge]

I really like it too!

[@islesanctum833]

He mentions "13 years" about 15 times Funny AF

[@WilliamsonRidge]

You’re welcome, just didn’t want you to think it was 14years.

[@user-el7dx6uc2x]

I have the same year I have been working on getting it running and the main problem for me was not noticing my peacock tube loose lol

[@rodneya6371]

My battery died from leaving the key in the on position for too long, where on earth is the positive terminal so I can jump it? Thank you!

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Should be right behind the carb under a chrome cover

[@rodneya6371]

@@WilliamsonRidge bingo, I’ll just say I spent way too much time and effort to jump that bike lol

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Yeah it is a little inconvenient lol.

[@ericweber1969]

Great job! These are good bikes. You should check out SuzukiSavage.com, a great forum about these bikes. Lots of excellent tech information!

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Cool thanks! I’ll check it out!
