Almost Brand New (to Riding) (Read 3 times)

KWKaletta Full Member Offline The Savage Cycle Posts: 101 Zanesville, IN Gender:	Almost Brand New (to Riding) 08/06/07 at 22:46:47 Hi folks, I got an 87 savage a couple of years ago stuck (buried) it in the shed. I traded a school bus for it! I got it out a couple of weeks ago and started working on it. "Took the riders class about a year ago." Been riding it almost every day. Its been 30 years!

You can have lot of fun with that little bike. You can do a lot with a school bus, too, but the MPG stinks & riding is better than driving.

Was it a well kept '87? I recently aquired an '87 that was stored for 3 years and I've had nothing but problems with it. Haven't even ridden it yet. It needs a starter and a battery, to start with. Don't even know if the dam thing runs. I hope you have better luck with yours.
And welcome--you'll find this is a great group of guys and gals. Very helpful in every aspect. Enjoy!!

I have been riding every day! The guy I got it from was a "good" shade tree mechanic! I had to do a lot of soldering on the light wires. Need some parts for it like the battery has no cover, its exposed. The charging system seeems to work. Had to put a new battery in it! (When I pulled it out of the shed) She started right up. Yes I changed the oil but after I found some filters! Roll Eyes

I don't know about the color but Rustolium Industrial Safety yellow is a dam good match. I am thinking about changing all of the screws to ss!
