2003 Suzuki Savage 650 purchased with 8,543 miles. Has aftermarket pegs, grips, and exhaust.

The day I got it:

My daughter Jenny liked sitting on the bike:

My other daughter Julia was all smiles:

And the only mod I have done so far:

I've put about 1,500 miles on it in about a month of ownership. Really enjoying this bike!

Yo! I picked up a 1996 LS650 about a week ago for $1,100. A friend of mine turned me on to do a RYCA RR-1 Build. The condition of the bike was not the greatest. It's been sitting out side for I don't know how long, but it only has around 4k Miles on it and the paint is pretty much worn out, rust, dirt and webs all over it. It doe's have a head gasket leak which left oil gushing out through the bottom of the head case.

I'm excited about the build and all the things I will be encountering. I found this site in hopes that I can contribute to an solutions I might find during the build as well as get some help from you guys.

Probably not a head gasket issue......Go into the Tech Section Index with Links, and look at the Head Plug Repair threads.

I'll be sure to check out all the other common leaks as advised in the Tech section. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and new to riding. I have been through the basic rider's course and am now in the market for my first bike. I have pretty much decided on a Savage or S40 and look forward to browsing the site for tech information and getting to know the community.thanks in advance for all of the knowledge I will most likely be picking from your brains. Oh, and don't worry I know how to use the search function.

Welcome Hart! And don't be afraid to ask if there's something that you can't find. I've been here a couple of years now and still have fits with the "search" function. Take note of some of the things like the head plug leak and the cam chain tensioner issues. Once you correct those items the Savage/S40 is a dependable bike good for upwards of 50,000 fun-filled miles!

And like I said I'm still in the market so if anyone knows of any sweet deals in the southeast I would be willing to drive. I'm currently stationed at Fort Stewart, GA (Southeast GA), so anything within 250 miles or so I would definitely consider. Thanks again!

Morning everyone!
I'm a 24 year old student a year into marriage and 6 months into owning a motorcycles! Both my wife's and my dad grew up riding and currently both own Harley's (Electraglide and Heritage). But I've never been into big beefy bikes. I bought a 2006 s40 over the summer. So far I've moved the license plate to a side mount and trashed the bulky fender mount and flipped the stock risers around to give it a bit more of a bobbed look. As of now I plan on swapping to a dyna muffler, pod filter, rejetting, adding some z bars and who knows what else! I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but super new to motorcycles so I look forward to utilizing all the info on here!

Be sure to slap up a couple of pics of your ride, and what you are doing to it. There is tons of information in the Tech section thread to help you out on any conversions you will get into. These guys here are guru's on the savage/s40 so don't hold back on asking any questions you have!
