i just got a 1996 savage as my first bike...i really enjoy riding it...im 5'6" and it fits me very well...but the head gasket is leaking a little which is no biggie and ill fix it...first and second end up a little flat and i think the carb just needs tuned, i have drag pipes and i think its running a little lean so its heating up a bit more than it should at least i think....5th gear sometimes i cant find...and first is hard to get into from neutral, but i just rock the bike back and forth  and it pops in every time,so the bike is quirky, but i used to ride around in a 1950 chevy that was so quirky no one but me could start the thing let alone drive it around. So i have ordered a stage 2 jet kit and im building an adapter for a hypercharger style air cleaner...so the carb bit ill work out and i think first and second will be fine as well as the heat issue...but i wanna check the oil level...but alas no dipstick or sight glass that i can find...any help?
