so I got a question for you savage motor guys.

I plan on building up the stock motor before I turbo It. Here are the plans.

stage 2 cam

extensive port and polish. reshape exhaust port, weld in where ill remove part of the rocker box.

5 angle valve job

adjustable ignition timing

adjustable cam timing.

All this will be free except the cam.

BUT i had a thought. I plan on building a shorter connecting rod from aluminum for the boost. To lower the compression down to 8 to 1.

Here is the idea. Would a slightly longer connecting rod work to bump up compression? What about piston head clearance?

I would shave the head but there is already enough cam chain stretch untill I can get the upgraded chain.

So what do you think?

Also does the savage have a press together crank or a rod that bolts together at the lower rod end bearing?

Hey there bud!Awesome bike!I did something similar a couple years ago and thought you might like some pics.You did a great job!Mine had a 2000 GSXR 750 fork.I made adapters to use the stock front wheel and to mount one of the Gsxr front rotors on it with one Gsxr front caliper, stopped awesome.The engine was internally stock with a homemade air cleaner and the carbon fiber yoshimura muffler from the Gsxr.The swingarm was stock with the addition of the Gsxr rear shock and linkage,that thing rode great.I had an accident last July and can't ride anymore but still love bikes.I just wanted to praise you for doing such a good job and tell you to please be careful,wear your helmet and keep an eye on EVERYBODY else on the road.If I can help you holler at me.

My knee is still really messed up from my accident. It wont bend anymore that 80 degrees. I cant even do stairs. I wear full gear every time I ride. Im crippled because of a lack of knee protection.

I won't comment on the rideress... Cool

that's your property Cool

BUT

I must point out, as a survivor squeegee squid rider, that if you expect to wrestle any serious road performance from the wonderful bike you're building,
the foot controls MUST be pulled much further back.

A good rule-of-thumb is the ankles should be on the vertical with the hip joints. Fine tune from there, back and forth, an inch or even less, to taste.

Really, once you tackle any decent bend at serious speed you'll not want to sit on your a$$ but push on the footpegs to control the bike.

Cool

Oh yes I agree. But in all seriousness one day for kicks I put on my leathers and drug knee on the savage. The bike was pretty upset leaning over that far but it is possible.

One reason its keeping the forward controls is that my left knee cant bend. ive got 80 degrees of motion in it. To ride anything I have with rearsets would take 140 degrees or more.

Its surprising how fast you can actually corner with a savage once you learn to adapt your riding style.

Ill get some knee dragging video once the bike is rideable again.
