Replying to my own post here ... But fiddling wiht stems a lot of late, this just struck me. The one small factor that would put the savage at greater risk of weather exposure to the bearings in the steering neck - That steering lock is a hole cut into the stem. As you running down the road the stem takes in a wee bit of weather, and it is at high velocity, abd it can get crammed in that hole, which can then eventually affect the bearing, especially if you ride a lot ub rain, or have humid weather.
The solution is to clean the stem with a sort of bottle brish, get some wd 40 on it etc, and then plug the bottom of that stem with an appropriately sized rubber stopper. Available @ lowes.
Cool. Srinath.
