There is a thread in the tech section about tachs that work on the Savage.

Our thumpers are "double fire" so you have to get the right tach.
This is the one I have on mine that I bought online from "Onida Suzuki"
for $70.79 to my door. It is Drag Specialies #DS244133 w/black face.
If you check around I think you will find that this is the best price.

Cool, my stealership carries those.  May have to see if they'll hold up the their "free installation" deal if I order one from them. ;D If not I'd go with the Oneida Suzuki deal, it's cheaper.

Is that a thumb Throttle on there?  My brother-in-law said that's the only way he'll buy a bike is if he can put one on. He gets confussed on the twist throttles. LOL.  Strange I know.  :o

That is a cruise control for the bike, it is really just a throttle lock.  It looks a little strange and makes me reach around it for the starter, but I really like the one I have on my bike.  It is really nice for long rides.

As for the tach, I think I'm goin' with the dial style. I'm kinda goin' for the old school look anyway and I think the dial would be easier to read in direct sunlight.

Alright, I was digging thru some of my old tool boxes and found an old tach. Looks kinda generic but functional. It goes up to 8000 RPM and has a 3 way switch on the back that has 8, 6, and 4.How do I know if it will work on my thumper. It also has 4 wires,black, white, red, and green...

Title: Re: Tach...
Post by Big Nix on 03/17/09 at 09:39:12

yah that tach won't work on your bike, the 8, 6, & 4 are refering to the number of cylinders that it'll work with.  Back in the day I had a '81 f150 that was a stick, so when i got it of course i wanted a tach, well found that out after i installed it what that little switch was for.  I didn't even look and left it on 8 and couldn't figure out why it wasn't reading right.  Actually read the instructions and saw that it needed to be set on the 6, beings i had an inline 6 cylinder.  So to clarify through all my rambling no it won't work on your savage.

I just looked on Drag Specialties website and could find the DS244133.

I am sending them an email to find the replacement part number.  I vaguely recall it was around $80.
