Title: engine tollerances, tightening torques etc????
Post by shifty biscuits on 11/25/15 at 04:31:35

hey dudes, i have been trawling the web looking for some kind of service manual for the savage. cant seem to find one without buying a dodgy looking cd of some random site. (are they any use?)
its pretty weird i cant find sod all. i find it hard to believe a bike thats been in production this long has no technical reference material to be found.
I just got hold of a spare engine and i plan to strip and rebuild it, hopefully port/upgrade/overbore it as i go if i can find parts.
it would be nice to have something to hand to make the build a bit smoother, referencing tollerances and torques for instance would be nice.
can anyone help with a link or any suggestions where i can find this information?
cheers

Clymer's has a manual, and it is what most of us use. Their are a few errors, and those are listed in the Technical Section.

And....I suppose you can buy a service manual from Suzuki.

I never said you could download a manual. The few times that one does come up it doesn't last long before it is shut down. The manual has a copyright.

You need to buy one at a local store, or get one online.

I provided you with a link to the Technical Section list of errors.

They aren't cheap, but it's well spent money.
Some of the special tools can be built and some are available to rent/borrow from forum members, just freight and deposit.. maybe a little for the hassle.. it's not for me to say.. just, before you buy , ask.

Shifty, if your in the UK, I can post you a copy of the CD if that helps (I can't say that I've actually used it).
PM me if your interested.
