your mech doesn't think a 650 single is capable of highway riding ? ?
because they are too under powered ? ?
is this guy out of diapers yet ?
or has he been drinking the cool-ade ?

i call shinanagans on your mech. just took out my friends savage and hit 90 mph on the road and she was behaving just fine. just some good vibrations

i could get some pics of the cam for you, probably tonight or tomorrow. what year is the engine you picked up? would it fit in my 87?

I am really sorry to hear about your misfortune, that is a bummer for sure

I am picking up a 90's model today with only 8k on the engine
if interested in the engine send me a pm

how much wear did you have on the cam ?
can you get a close up photo ?
think its good to use ?

All engines fit everything ... Savage wise.

The bike I got today turned out to be an '86 model but appears to be in very good condition. Will know more tomorrow when I have time to tinker and check stuff out.
Do you want the whole engine if all is well ?

I will need to get it to run for a good test before I would pronounce it good to go. Otherwise it comes apart for individual parts.

From everything I've read, that seems to be the consensus. Kinda ironic if the 4sp turns less rpms than the 5sp.
