on a 250 Ducati single,and twins & foursfollowing, and now back to that charming, beguiling,satisfying sensation of being pulled down the road with loads of torque.My Savage is an 02-totally stock.Only thing I did was go to the DPR7EA-9 plug as the original was black & sooty.It's ridden every day to work & weekly rides in the country. This is the best starting,least cold-blooded bike I've owned.Also the easiest one to find neutral on.I think the belt-drive makes it "smoother" to drive.Oil gets changed every 2000 k. Burns premium -no back-fires since snugging up header pipe nuts(just a wee bit)These bikes are a bargain!

Posts: 1604 Colorado Springs, CO Gender:	Re: Hello from new member:40 years ago started off Reply #8 - 08/26/05 at 15:09:15 Welcome! Although I've got several expensive bikes in the garage, I always throw a leg over my wife's Savage when I've got errands to run in town. These bikes are great values and serve as wonderful urban assault vehicles! As a bonus, I find myself volunteering to run all sorts of errands.
