Hi all! I'm from Russia. I have a savage ls400. with mileage 20000 miles. until I installed the silencer from harley and drive belt instead of a chain. all this I really like it!

what's up y'all, Mike here in sunny FLa.  I've had my savage for a little while now but am just getting the time to actually work with it and get it right.  Have a friend who has had one for a couple years and built a rad bob/chop/whatever you want to call it and that's the direction I'm heading.  He turned me on the site and I'm glad he did.

Hello, my name is Jacob Kordes. I live in Pennsylvania, USA. Not to far from Pittsburgh. I recently bought a new 2012 Suzuki Boulevard S40 650. It is the color orange and I already had the dealership that I bought it from add an official Suzuki Boulevard sissy bar. It is my first bike and I love it! I already got about 150 miles on it. Bought it with 1 mile. I've been going by the manual for everything or going with the members advice on this forum. This forum is full of helpful tips, advice and answers to questions that I want to know. Thanks to all the members here! Great job everyone. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to spreading my opinions, posts and questions within the future.

Hey Everyone,

My name is Dani (aka Daniel) and just yesterday I bought a '98 Savage, black, from a nice old guy in Garden Grove, CA.

It was worth the 1+ hour drive from the Valley. The bike has only 748 miles  

But it's worth mentioning that the guy, Chris, has put only 400 miles on it and hasn't ridden it since '09 besides to move it around the block a bit. I think it still has that same tank of gas...

This led me to inspect the gas tank, rusted as all heck on the inside. I'm taking it to a radiator shop today and will buy the Raptor petcock at a Yamaha store nearby.
I'm also going to give her an oil change, get some Seafoam and do whatever other minor things need to be done.

I am so happy this site exists, I bought this Savage thinking it would be a quick turn-around before I was speeding down the highway but then became overwhelmed by what looking like a lot of fixes. Now after scouring this site (3 hours last night), I know what I gotta do and am EXCITED  

If you have any input, I would greatly appreciate but I think I'm going in the right direction.
I appreciate this library of data. Its so good  

Cheers!

P.S. I tried to attach an image of my bike but I can't see it in preview  :'( I hope it shows up after re-attaching it.

Hey all, my name is Jim and I just picked up a 98 Savage last Tuesday (and already put 250 miles on her).  Love her already, rides great and definitely the perfect pick for my first bike (and I can see myself holding on to it for a while).  Looking forward to bobbing her out a little bit through the BlueCollarBobbers kits.  Side note, has anybody added their drag pipe?  I'm not sure whether or not I'll need to jet the carb after adding it, and the response I got from them was that they've heard doing so and not doing so both work awesomely.

Below is a picture of her now, I'll be sure to update pictures a long the way.  Thanks for creating such an awesome resource for a new rider and Savage owner!
