I’ve had one for 6 months now, After my SL500 was written off by a drunk driver.

It’s a great little thing I love Suzuki for their reliability and analogue ness

However I did want to put 15” tyres on it rather than the 17” but I don’t know where to start

Apparently at the ring they used them with lowered suspension and 15”

check the manifold heat shield first silly as it sounds

Quite possibly one of the exhaust heat shields, mine had dropped on the rear and was resting on top of the exhaust back box. It made an intermittent rattle that was very annoying and you could see it was loose and wiggle it with your finger. There's oversize washers you can get to clip them back into place which my local garage sorted on mine.
Thanks for the tip, but thats not it. Checked today and heat shield is fine. This is not a rattle, its more like quick metalic pop or snap-like sound. Like if a small stone chip hit something down there.

Yep im on 205/50/15 tyres on mine. It's fine but if its not lowered looks like a off road vehicle.

I run 195/45/15 road tyres driving to and from track now

I went 15’s, but I think if I did it again I’d probably go for lightweight forged Japanese 16’s, as there’s more of a tyre selection in that size.

As mine is a ex Rent 4 Ring rental it came on the 15" cosmis rims and I bought another set for road tyres. 5x114.3 15" wheels. Plenty of wheels out and about that fit.

So on the odd occasion, when starting the car up, neither cold or warm specifically, it will star and idle at high revs, for about 30 seconds or so.

Never often, maybe once every 3 weeks, and I am in the car a lot.

Slight rev increase by about 200/300 rpm at most.

Trying to drive off or move the car when its doing it - means it sounds like an old dear is riding the clutch.

Haven't dug into it fully yet, as I have been all over and not had the energy when I do have a spare moment.

Has anyone had similar, or could potentially point me in the right direction?

Ta!
