hey buddy. We discussed this alot in the forum. Here goes:

1. the 95 savages and older use a different throttle cable. The 96 and newer use the throttle cable you received. you could by the switch for a 96 or newer and it will work but requires alot of modification. I can easily help you with that if your up to it.

2. You can use the cable you got with your older model savage however the cable will sit loosely in the switch box. It will not affect performance but looks funny.

3. The cable part that sits on top of the carb has an akward fit but just make it fit you will be allright it doesn't affect performance.

so to make a long story short yes it does work fine. but cosmetically wont look right. but you will still get performance and everything else. let me know if i can help.

One of our daring friends Bobo383 - solved the loose fit in the pre-96 throttle with a spent cut down 38cal bullet case, did a press fit after cutting it to length, and drilled out the primer cap to the proper size for the cable end. the base of the 38 spl keeps it from going into far.

I have not tried this, and can't seem to make up my mind as to which of these two bikes get the 38mm amal - most likely the '02

well i actually never rode it before the new carb kit from lancer. i bought the bike from my boss and he told me it probably needed to be replaced so while making payments i bought one and just had it finished last night.

so i got the bike today, its freakin sweet. This is the first time i have ridden a bike and it was a suzuki savage! i just rode around in the parking lot for 10 or 15 minutes getting a feel for starting and stopping, turning to go around rows of cars... i was a little shaky on the turing but it was totally awesome, i cant wait to take it out
