Polar-Pilot is right, the 400 cc version was intended for the domestic Japanese market only. Angry

Some of them were imported into New Zealand, Australia, and Chile in the late 1980's and early to mid- 1990's. Roll Eyes

Chilean regulations enacted afterwards prohibited used vehicles from being imported, Angry

and the result was a flood of Korean, Indian and Chinese bikes which are not aging nicely. Sad

Parts for them are also scarce, expensive and not good. Even complete engines are for sale, brand new from the stealerships Shocked

Argo:
My 1990 LS400 has a piston 88.0 mm in diameter and 61.0mm in height. I posted a reply from NZ on the other topic I have about this saga.

My suggestion is that you keep an eye on the oil level, check the timing chain regularly (if you blow the top end, you will be in serious trouble), and clean the carburetor and fuel line every six months or so.

You have been riding this beauty already, so I won't tell you how much fun it can be.

Best,

RW

PS. By the way, nice looking lady!!

Thanks for info and advices!
My savage was also imported from Japan to Odessa (Ukraine). There is a shop which trades in the used motorcycles. I do not even know what year of issue my savage. In documents 2000 is marked year

but I know that it is a lie. Simply in Ukraine it is forbidden to bring in the vehicles of transports more senior than 2000 of issue, otherwise there will be enormous taxes. My savage was in the not quite good state. some details of carburetter were rotten (I do not know how to translate the names of details into English, a dictionary is translated by a "float"), old and very dry overlays. А good mechanic did some the work a few days with a savage, then I departed to good master which makes wares out of stainless steel. Now my motorcycle with the arcs of safety. And these arcs already declared oneself from a good side

last week purchased the new accumulator of VARTA, old died quite. When tried to lead a motor, black smoke went from a pipe.
In general in winter we will have a lot of work in garage

Thank you guys for pleasant words! I think that in spring in April will depart in the USA, in Sakramento, can be there are shops in which I will be able to find repair parts for a savage? my uncle and aunt live In Sakramento .
May be you know how many will cost a chain and sprockets for a savage? And how many will cost sending from America to Ukraine?

Argo, while you are here in Sacramento perhaps you could ask your aunt if she could sponser you to immigrate to the USA,we would love to have you.

Hello! I have one question. He a bit not on the topic, but possibly you will be able me to help. My friend Irina wants to buy a motorcycle Suzuki SV 650. I know that in America it is purchase cheaper, than in our country. There are some American web sites on the sales of motorcycles? Where it is possible to look prices and order a motorcycle?
