Just bought an '05 S40 with 2700 miles on it. It's up to 3100 now in just a couple of weeks. Fun bike. It's been 30 years since my last ride (a dirt bike) and I'm enjoying it a lot. I've just ordered the Raptor petcock and got a Dyna muffler to install when my adapter get's here. Will rejet too. Gonna move the rear turn signals and install some bags after that. Look forward to lots of fun with the mods.

I just bought Epeck's Savage bob and I've already started having fun, White walls should be in this week and rims go in for black powder coat tomorrow.

So far only thing I've done is fabbed an intake (pep boys special) and straight piped/ wrapped exhaust. seat situation is temporary till i get my weld-on studs and springs, really looking forward to a eye-catcher bobber.

Anyone in the Jacksonville FL area?

Hey guys. New guy in town. Just bought my 87 savage last week. I have her torn down right now. Engine and frame are getting new paint. Removing air box and other bits and pieces. Hoping to lower the forks and build some hard struts while I have her down. Should be back on the street next week! Thank you guys so much! The info posted here has helped allot.

Hi bikers, I am a new Savage owner in Sweden. The local Harley dealer had a DIY 1993 Savage for sale. So I bought it

In younger days I had a 1965 Triumph Daytona 500, a 1981 Suzuki GS500 and today I drive Yamaha XJ900 1983. My youngest kid is 8 and taking him on tour with the XJ is not good. It built for higher speed and highways. With the Savage we can cruise and also drive gravel roads.
To do on the bike, remove camcover Embarrassed

I did try but it did not come of, somebody has glue it with silicon and I did not dare to use tools between the head and cover. It is leaking some oil over the exhuast port. And the head bolts could need service.
Engine is ticking a little but I dont think its the chain, sound on left side high as it was the valve. No smoke from exhaust so it's not leaking oil. Sparkplug shows a little high temperature. Seat cover bad, drive belt not perfect, fork is leaking oil.
32000 km on the meter. I think the bike will stay my life time with me, if I can fix the small issues

I must've 'Deleted Myself'. I'm now Locomotiveman1. Anywho, 8,800 miles on the little 'Thumper' and no Verslagy Mod to the Cam Tensioner yet. It's great to 'troll' you guys' brains for Mods and update info. Later, Locomotiveman1

Hi! My name is Scott. My brother just bought a 95 ls650 but I'm the mechanical one so it will be my responsibilty to keep it on the road. He has always liked what I've done to all of my bikes so he has givin me artistic freedom to do to his bike anything I want. I am really liking the bobber look so I think we'll go that route. I am currently on a 2012 Fatboy that I've done alot of custom work to and have taken it about as far as I can so I'm looking forward to this project, especially since the money is coming out of his pocket. I've been looking around this site and see alot of nice rides and awesome tips and tricks, glad to be here.

I would like to say "Hi" and thanks for a great website. I live in Tacoma WA, and there are very few of these bikes around here. I was relieved to find some real solutions to some serious shortcomings on this model. The dealer was no help, pointing out modifications would void the warranty (Warranty? We don need no stinky Warranty!). So with your help, I have corrected the harsh ride, the flaky petcock, the rough idling, and most of the afterfiring. The midrange power still needs work. BTW, I love the styling, the nimble handling, all of the controls are top-notch, and the bike fits me perfectly. This summer WEWA is enjoying incredible weather, and I'm riding every day. Pinch me; I must be dreaming!

Have you done the white spacer mod ?
If not, you need to do so to correct the midrange blaa's.

Hi Lancer. Thanks for the suggestion. I am saving that for when the crappy weather comes back. Probably September. Did I mention the bike I bought was a brand new 2012, bought in February this year. I was surprised at how little the dealer knew about this bike, so no dealer service for this one! I made that mistake with a Samurai years ago. The little jeep ran great until I took it in for major service. Never ran right again. BTW, my first bike was a X-6 Hustler - what a screamer! Sold that and got a TS 250 Savage, a dual sport. I guess Zuki kept the name but changed the game.
