I also work on the "other" side, like Justni does.
To reply to Oldfeller, I bought the bike in October 2005, left it in a garage for ... months forgetting the petcock on "prime" so I had to haul it to a workshop...
I've been buying parts for years, that's true, but so far I've only fiddled with removing the tank umpteen times to get to the spark plug, changing mirrors until I could find the kind that allowed me to see more than just elbows and shoulders, and fitted a rev counter.
I also bought tons of other bits I've yet to fit...
Most of you guys live in a house with a garage, I live in a 5th floor apartment in a condo with one of those "hotel style" underground garage, all I have is just a rectangle in yellow paint.
In the state she's in, my Savage will do some... 300 miles (give or take) on one quart... remember I have a serious issue with a leaking oil cap that's already ruined two pair of jeans and one set of boots - which are now my standard riding gear.
I'm well aware of the metallic crud that's in the system... the point is I've never changed the oil filter myself, (I've been billed for it every time though) and since I've seen all sorts of shapes and sizes, from mini-cartridge to simple steel gauze, I just asked.
So, what's it like ? Is it compatible with any other kind, like a more modern 2-4 cylinder model or an enduro ???
I WANT to change the filter but nobody stocks them for bikes off the market over 10 years ago...
