The Savage Companion Photo CD

The Savage Companion is a photographic essay devoted to Suzuki's LS650.  It contains over 675 high quality images that are viewable with any image software on any computer or DVD player.

This CD required over 6 months of photographic work and was compiled from over 5000 proofs.  I personally performed a teardown of my own bike (and a few pieces of my spouse's), plus many Savage riders from around the world generously contributed their own images.  All photographs are original and signed.

This CD is not a substitute for a manual, but rather it is intended to be your "Companion" when performing a maintenance task.  This collection will enhance the instruction found in the average motorcycle manual.  The color photographs will clarify those normally poor B&W images, and many include close-ups and my personal notes.

It is my sincere hope this Savage Companion will be an inspiration to grab a wrench and have fun with your LS650.  After 40 years in motorcycling, it is my personal belief that the best and safest riders are also their own mechanic...

...after all, "when a rider understands all the working parts, a rider becomes one of those working parts"...


Topics Covered in the Companion CD are:

Air and Fuel - Intake to Exhaust
Electrical - Wiring & Components
Engine - Pistons to Gears
Frame - It Holds it all Together
Owners - World Owners Gallery
Tinkering - Things To Do or Not (?)


Thank You, Savage Greg

Yes it is.

I can probably burn you a copy.

Thanks, I guess I'll just down load it... must take forever with that many photos.  

Great idea, though. The Clymer's photos are so poor its like working on the bike in the dark!

Thanks for embarking on this project.

Thanks very much for putting this together AND sharing it.  The carb pics were particularly helpful.  I'm much less worried about swapping out my jets now that I've got your photos for reference.

I bought this CD several years ago.....back when you had to, er, buy it.

I'd do so again in a heartbeat!  The photos are high quality and serve as a very useful reference.  I've gone to this well many times.....

Carb removed and jet swap completed.  Good grief that was easy!  Thanks again for the pics.
