I recently did a tear down and rebuild of the savage, read cam chain, and chain conversion. I have a 96 that started out bright yellow, with 14500.
While I was in there I decided to do the plug leak fix, spark plug door mod, moved the battery back about 3-5 inches, rerouted some wiring, took off the kickstand switch and bypassed, shimmed the clutch springs. I also went up to a 155 in the carb.
Prior to this tear down I took her apart, I tinker alot, and did some body work and repainted her. I reshaped and recovered the seat, removed the pillon and sissy bar, bondo'd the holes in the fender and then painted it a color changing paint.
At this point I don't think I can get any more ponies out of her without some serious mods like Lancer and Greg are doing. so that'll have wait I just don't have the time. SHe is getting close to the look i want.
TODO: fab forward controls.
paint cobra style racing stripes.
change bars to drag style
replace front running lights/blinkers
put in a front drive speedo to comp for the chain conversion.
New grips and controls
Thanks to everyone on the site for all of your hints, tips, suggestions, and wisdom, My scoot rocks because of it. After all of these mods she is truely custom.
