Double check the size on your Savage Steve. I've been buying that filter for my vintage dirtbikes. I assume the Suzuki is the same size. Just do a quick measurement. The filter is definately for 1/4" ID. Let us know how your test rides go too  Grin

Well, the online microfiche on the Ron Ayers says it's a 6.5 mm line, so I got some 1/4" fuel line and a filter.  It's a tight fit. The fuel line is so stiff that it does not want to bend enough, so it pops off even with clamps.  I'm going to get some screw clamps to hold it bettter.

I did take the Savage out for a short ride yesterday. I'm a newbie, so I've only riden two motorcycles before this: a GZ250 in the MSF class and my wife's Ninja 250.  I guess I've put about 50 miles on the Ninja, so that's what I'm most accustomed to.

So compared to the Ninja 250, I was suprised how smooth the Savage was. Very torquey.  Very stable steering, but not as easy to turn as the Ninja.  Iguess that's about what I'd expected.  

I'll need to practice some slow riding to feel comfortable.  

Steve
