When I found this site in November, I thought the "seat mod" would be about the extent of my Savage-mod confidence. Next I read the oil change instructions, ordered a filter, and changed my oil & filter one night. Dang I was feeling pretty good, so I figured I would pipe up about joining in on the June trip to Deals Gap. Spring Break came, and not being able to wait another month and a half, I "Rode the Dragon". Riding 129 I remember, thinking I was forever stuck with that same stock muffler, until I returned home, and happened to come across a deal on a Sportster muffler. I figured, what the heck, surely I can take the stock muffler off and slide the Sporty on, and never have to mess with that mysterious carb, (what with all it's hidden idle mix screws and OMG that White Spacer). Well stock off, Sporty on and...POP-POP-POP. Now what? Teachers can't afford mechanics! OK, so I PM'd a few folks and took the next step to becoming a bona-fide Savage Man! Seat & gas tank off, brass plug removed, idle screw adjusted, white spacer replaced with half-size spacer, spark plug replaced and everything back together and guess what? IT WORKS!!!---RUNS/SOUNDS GREAT!!! THANKS TO ALL THE SAVAGE GURUS THAT EMPOWER OTHERS ON THIS SITE!!!
