Suzuki Boulevard S40 Decompression System Check and Quick (Free) Fix

The decompression system is a starting aid and reduces wear and tear on the starter and electrical system. Here's a quick way to make sure it's working with a quick fix until you can service the system which I'll cover in my next video.

Servicing an s40 for a buddy. Found this video very helpful for understanding the auto decomp system. Thank you

Glad it helped! I plan a more detailed vid but sounds like you're in good shape.

I've cooked chicken with a bit of cotton string, maybe it wouldn't be too crazy to to zip-tie a little denim housing for the area and you probably wouldn't ever see it if it is the color black.

Not a bad idea to make some type of protective boot. I wondered why Suzuki didn't include one.

@@someguitarguy. I wonder if there is a treaty where all the big four have one defect per model. The fact of someone returning to a dealership over something that is commensurate to commitment is calculable. Here we have a small flaw that will generate an action and a response, the action is desirable, the response is naturally negative but it can be limited to the likely means of the purchaser by the severity of the defect.

@@martind349 reminds me of a scene in Fight Club where he's explaining his occupation to a passenger on an airplane. This, along with the petcock and cam chain tensioner, are prime examples of convenience engineering. They both function for the warranty period, but after that...

Queria saber si puedes ayudarme quite la tapa de la culata para arreglar una fuga de aceite y sin querer quite el tornillo de ajuste.seria muy complicado dejarlo bien nuevamente

It’s been awhile since I’ve adjusted it. Be careful not to make it too tight as you might damage a valve. I’d recommend checking the shop manual and/or the Suzuki Savage forums.
