so if you ride that down to the local dealer - they still believe that is the poorest suzuki ever made ? - might point out for what we can tell the problem is not the bike here - it's the dealers, they cause the oil leaks at the very first service 'cause they don't know how to seal a rubber plug.

good looking ride - enjoy!

Here's a little info on my ride: its a 1986 an has lots of miles on it, but with the proper lovin' care it has never had any major problems. I have on the other hand tinkered with it,and made some slight modifications.
The exhaust is a supertrapp, and works exelent, it even reduced the infamous backfire to a tiny "boff". I have removed the snorkel in the air filterbox and increased fuel flow, so that its not that lean. The backfire is totally gone.
I must admit that I have used some Harley parts like dragbars, the seat and rear fender witch by the way is of an old electraglide. The fender was obviously to big so I chopped it down vith an anglegrinder until I was happy with the shape of it. I have also done the plug cap seal, head gasket, replaced all the bolts in the engine, because I broke off the first four using almost no torque at all, so I figuered the the rest of the bolts was crap too. I haven't done the white spacer mod. since this is a 1986 and the mod. is unnecessary on the older bikes.
All this work has given me hours and hours of pleassure in my garage and also improved how the bike handles, and that's what its all about isn'it??

Hello there and thanx for the reply.The savage has   150 000 km on it, approx. 95 000 miles. still handles great
