Nice forum folks! My dad just bought himself an 02 Savage. He's 72 years old,and it has been about 15 years since his last bike. I'm pretty excited to see him get one. He's been talking about this for a few years. He is still a pretty sharp rider! Anyway,it seems like the ignition timing could stand to be advanced a few degrees. I am used to working on my Honda ACE 750,and I advanced the timing on it by slotting the holes on the pickup coil. Has anyone tried this on the Savage? I appreciate helpful forums like this one,and I look forward to chatting with you folks from time to time. Thanks! Arnie.

ado63, I'm looking at doing the ignition mod you suggest at KLX's next oil change.
