Hi..thanks for the info., I bought the bike, it is in showroom condition, one female owner, she bought it new and never got it over 40 miles per hour. It was stored in a heated garage, doesn't have a scratch on it!! I paid 2000.00 for it!! It's a pretty metallic green, now can't wait to ride it!!!!

Yep- welcome. And collectively the people on this site, along with being nice folk, have forgotten more stuff about the Savage- S40 than any mechanic has ever learned.
BTW where do you hang your hat? Us folks in da nort are impatiently waiting out the winter so we can ride again.  :'(

I would run some Sea Foam in the gasoline and a ounce in the oil,It has been sitting a long time,That will clean it up.

I would be glad to keep a spotless, shiny bike here in the South for you. I could ride it and keep the battery up and call and tell you how it is doing. And I will do this without a thought of my '01 with 17,xxx miles. I'll even put your bike under cover and put mine under some plastic or leaves or somethin'. On here man, you got friends.  ;)

Theres Ryder, U-Haul, Pensky , & others. Slap a compass on the dash, drive in a direction that keeps the big S on the red line till you get South of Oklahoma.
