Well, actually it was my SuperTrapp until I bought the Raask. The Trapp sat around for a while before she wanted it installed on her bike....then it became her SuperTrapp.

Ah, the old 2 stroke triples....those were the days. Almost an apples and oranges comparison with the thumper though. Those were oil injection motors, right? Were they rotary disk or reed valve engines. I too remember the day of needles with slots for adjusting the height.

Weren't those triples known for the center cylinder running hotter than the outer 2?

Yup the S-2 had dinky carbs & ports too. I opened the intakes up a little, but never got a set off bigger ones.
It was sort of the evil opposite of a Savage, ours make torque as soon as we crank em! Kawy bogged a bit then stood on it's hind legs. Shocked

I looked high and low for a Powrol big bore kit or some such for the Savage. No luck .
Reckon we ought a shift over to some other thread like "How to make my Savage faster" so as to cool off the Wizard of Aus?

I had a DT400 Yamaha. Dual sport single. It handled like a Buick in the woods, but it ate HDs red light to red light 8)

It also, had this funny habit of going super nova if you missed a shift to second. Can you say, "red line"?
