What kind of high mileage Savages are out there? Anybody getting like 50000 miles outta these engines?

Thanks

I got 46k on the '96 and would've gone farther before I hop it up.
But the clutch cam let go as I had an '88 with a new '02 engine ready to go, I swapped over to it.
Otherwise I would have waited until 50k.

I had one that ate an exhaust valve at 42K, but it was owned by a moron, who has blown up a honda matic and a GS500 before and after the savage.
For him 42K is more like 242K.
Cool.

Woodworker got just shy of 100,000 before his rebuild to 700cc.

I got put the new cam chain in and expect to see at least 80,000 before I have to do anything else major.

I got 51,000 miles and decided it needed a rebuild. Made some mistakes and couldn't get it right, so I'm on my second motor with approximately 22,000.
