Now my engine is finally getting the amount of gas it needs, it vibrates like crazy (at least in idle, haven't checked yet while riding)! Did I do something wrong??
Got to work now, if anyone can think of a reason let me know.

Start with checking all your engine mount bolts, especially the front lower one. Even slightly loose bolts will let the engine do it's on thing!!

Is the idle speed too low?

What did you actually do, to get to this condition? I mean, all you did was remove the battery and carb, right?

That I wouldn't know, I don't have one of those RPM thingies.
It hums quite nicely at the moment, but I don't know if it's too low.

Yes, that's all I did. I'm thinking because the engine is getting more gas now it just goes.......
I'll mess with the idle and see if it vibrates less.

Not yet, I've been working.
I did look up in Clymers where the engine bolts were. I'll check it as soon a I can.
I'm also gonna see if a friend of mine owns an RPM meter, that way I can check if it's idling too slow.

Mine did the same after Carb Mod, you just have to keep adjust the Air bleed screw until minimal vibration is felt at handle bar. You cannot adjust your idle low so it sound like HD bike. 1. It vibrate like crazy 2. You don't have enough oil going to the top end--very bad
So how do you adjust idle w/o Tachnometer? By ear ofcourse
Any shady-tree mechanic know that! 8) If you can count your THUMP THUMP THUMP exhaust sound, your idle is low. So bump the Idle Adjust screw up a bit. And it it sounds like you cruising at 50 MPH then bump it down.
Good luck in wrenching.

Can I borrow your ears for a day or so???
I haven't been able to distinguish sounds and revs etc. yet.
It still sounds the same to me........noisy!!
I would have preferred a bike that you can barely hear. Maybe like a Honda?
Oh well, love my Savage now, but can't hear any difference in settings.

I'm the one and only (as far as I know)!!
We only have about 55,000 inhabitants on this island, most of those children and old folks. We have quite a few bikers but mainly Harley owners and a a few Honda's. There are way more dirt bikes here, because of our large off road terrain. I've even seen dirtbikers on some gnarly hiking trails!!

Ah, someone who uses gnarly correctly in a sentence and even spells it properly. Jeff Spicoli would be proud (assuming he could spell).
