Newbie with questions
07/11/08 at 18:42:03

I just bought my bike about 2 months ago and have a few questions.
1. Is it the savage the same as the Boulevard S40 650? I'm thinking it is, cause it looks like they changed they names or maybe the line name.
2. How do I make my head light stop rattling since I put on the windscreen? I tried putting foam rubber behind it and it still makes the sound and makes my bike shake.
3. last one I promise ( well for today anyway) why does the right peg ( under the brake) where your foot rests while riding vibrate so much. It makes my foot numb Shocked

Thanks in advance for your help!

1. Yep, basically the same.
2. Haven't figured that out yet, have the same problem.
3. Don't have that experience, try some thicker rubber padding on the peg? Better boots?

1. Yes, it's the same. I'm sure if you search this forum enough (make sure you change the default from "week" to "all", you will find details of all changes between all model years (not kidding).

2. I can't answer; I know somebody else will. Again, use the search feature beyond one week.

3. My peg vibrates too. I read somewhere on here that tightening the peg or maybe one of the heat shield bolts helps. I know you'll find something in a search.

1. mostly, some differences
2. Tighten the screws at the bottom where it attaches to the tree? Also the wires inside will rattle inside, some have put a rag in there.
3. there are several bolts that go thru the frame and attach the engine to the frame. Torque them, if they're loose the peg will vibrate more.
