Title: My Savage Bobber/Rat and Intro
Post by RyanRC187 on 05/21/08 at 14:44:31

Just wanted to introduce myself here. I have a 1987 Savage that definitely has an interesting flavor to it - I bought it a few months ago. Unfortunately she currently won't start and before that she was having some engine hesitation problems. I look forward to getting those issues resolved (any guidance?) and then hopping back on it... You can only ride a ZX-6R so often. ;)

Start by checking for spark, a good clean spark plug, and some fresh fuel in the tank. Max

Nice, what kind of seat is that? Got any pics from the back and sides? Looks great!

I'd like to see a tail view as well.

Yeah,and after the spark test [live it up and buy a new plug], your next step is to clean that funky old carb-which is often the case on old bikes.

Nice looking bike, good luck.

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to check out those issues this afternoon/tomorrow. Its going to be incredible having a 4.5 day weekend after working 80+ hour weeks...

I think the hesitation/stuttering issues may get resolved. However, regarding the bike not starting - The last time I tried what happened was that I heard a short "buzz" sound come from the rear portion of the bike (similar to a fuse burning out) and then saw a bit of smoke rising from around the rear-right of the bike near the tire... I might have to just take the bike in to resolve that issue as I don't have any experience with electrical systems.

And I'll try and snap a few pictures of the side/rear of the bike as well.

Also, heres my other bike if any of you are sportbike enthusiasts. 8-)

Took two quick pictures after parking the ZX-6R this afternoon.

Nice rat bike! Just by coincidence, and accident, I happened to buy some handlebars somewhat like those only a bit longer. They got here (fairly cheap eBay buy) and weren't what I was expecting. I thought they had some rise to them; but they're all pullback and no rise like the ones on your bike. Now that I see them on your bike I may go to the effort to mount them on one of my 99s. :D 8-)
