My Savage Bobber/Rat and Intro
05/21/08 at 14:44:31
Just wanted to introduce myself here. I have a 1987 Savage that definitely has an interesting flavor to it - I bought it a few months ago. Unfortunately she currently won't start and before that she was having some engine hesitation problems. I look forward to getting those issues resolved (any guidance?) and then hopping back on it... You can only ride a ZX-6R so often.

Start by checking for spark, a good clean spark plug, and some fresh fuel in the tank. Max

Yeah,and after the spark test [live it up and buy a new plug], your next step is to clean that funky old carb-which is often the case on old bikes.
Nice looking bike, good luck.

Thanks guys. I'll be sure to check out those issues this afternoon/tomorrow. Its going to be incredible having a 4.5 day weekend after working 80+ hour weeks...
I think the hesitation/stuttering issues may get resolved. However, regarding the bike not starting - The last time I tried what happened was that I heard a short "buzz" sound come from the rear portion of the bike (similar to a fuse burning out) and then saw a bit of smoke rising from around the rear-right of the bike near the tire... I might have to just take the bike in to resolve that issue as I don't have any experience with electrical systems.
And I'll try and snap a few pictures of the side/rear of the bike as well.
Also, heres my other bike if any of you are sportbike enthusiasts.

Nice rat bike! Just by coincidence, and accident, I happened to buy some handlebars somewhat like those only a bit longer. They got here (fairly cheap eBay buy) and weren't what I was expecting. I thought they had some rise to them; but they're all pullback and no rise like the ones on your bike. Now that I see them on your bike I may go to the effort to mount them on one of my 99s.
