What Buyers Should Know
Bulletproof Single Cylinder
The S40 uses a proven 652cc single-cylinder engine that has remained largely unchanged for decades, making it one of the most reliable and simple engines to maintain in its class.
Strong Resale Value
Due to its beginner-friendly reputation and low operating costs, the S40 holds its value well in the used market, often selling for close to its original MSRP even with moderate mileage.
Watch the Carburetor
The carbureted models are prone to gumming up if the bike sits unused for extended periods, so always inspect the carb and ask about storage history before purchasing a used S40.
