Title: 2002 savage jetting?
Post by tinga on 11/30/07 at 12:25:04

hello everybody! i have a 2002 stock savage, 1000 miles on it,pipe is blue at the head so i guess i need to rejet. for a stock 2002 whats the best main/pilot setup?new stuff here 12/12/07. I live in Syracuse, NY. The savage is a suprisingly quick bike, I got to put a few miles on it ridding around the neighborhood, from the blue at the header of the pipe looks to me like a rejet is needed. i am going to run w/stock pipe and A/F,whats the best size main/pilot to use?

I have one set left at this time. It will likely be weeks before I get any more in.

A pure stock 2002 Savage with stock muffler should not have a blue pipe, and doesn't need rejetting. ???
Pipe coloration showes up when you install a performance exhaust and don't rejet. Check what you have as an exhaust system.
Where did you ever find a 2002 with only 1000 miles on it anyway? I think you might have got scammed.
The seller might have run a performance exhaust then re-installed the stock muffler to get it sold.
You can polish out the blue with some products available, but it takes some work. Good luck with this one.

My stock 02 did blue the first 8 inches of the header pipe because it was lean (and hot running) from the manufacturer. After I rejetted, the blue changed to a golden color and the smoothness was dramatic. Here in the midwest though, as we have moved into the colder weather, I need to richen up again on pilot and needle.

For my summer running I changed from the stock solid 42.5 pilot to a perforated 42.5 pilot. (Approx 1 step up). I went to a 2/3 rds white spacer and my idle mixture screw is set right at 2 turns out. My main is a Dynojet 42 (Already had it on hand)

For my colder weather setup, I plan to change to the 45 perforated pilot and turn in the idle mixture screw as needed. Change the needle spacer to approx 1/2 thickness and leave the main alone.

In the colder weather, I need the choke again to start. At less than 1/4 throttle, I get surging which continues into the midrange and the backfire has returned as I get off the throttle. The midrange running smooths out when I pull out the choke to the first detente (stop) indicating a lean condition in the cold air.

I still am using the stock exhaust and air filter, but the intake has been desnorkled.

I live east of Indy and our air temp right now has been in the 30's.
