Title: the famous savage oil leak
Post by jonnychop on 01/28/09 at 08:32:57

Well it seems that i have the famous savage oil leak, and from what i can see with a flashlight it seems that the points cover is also leaking so i´m going to do the plug replacement and clean up my top end, unfortunately I can´t find a manual with the torque values for all the bolts, can anyone help me here? i would really appreciate it, just so tired of all the oily mess, and kneeling all the time to peer at the oil window. :-/

There's an online Clymer manual somewhere in the tech section. For the moment, this post may help: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?board=tech;action=display;num=1098848534

Hey

Joe beat me to the punch, I started typing and got called away.

Here is the link in the tech section.

I discovered this on mine this morning as well. I am guessing I will have to do it soon. I guess misery loves company.

I've had it. In my case, it was self imposed (due to a less than inspired job of cleaning the sealant off of an old plug before I reused it).

Consider it a Savage rite of passage!
