I have an app on my Blackberry called GPS tracker. It records average speed, maximum speed, traveled distance, time traveled and even tracks the route traveled on a map. It also does current speed, but I didn't wanna check current speed on a phone while riding. So one time I tested it on the superslab, started recording before I left and cracked it open for just a little while and reached an indicated almost 90mph before I let off. She was still going. When I came home and checked the data, it showed that I reached a maximum of 88mph. Next time I go, I start the recording and see what she can do and let her fly. Seems the speedo is dead on.

Most of those apps also provide your information to stores that you walk in, what you shop for, etc. I think that is JOG's point, that you are providing the evidence for a slam dunk conviction.

Meaning you opened the throttle up...
I mean, is there some kind of recorder in the bike that tells you the maximum speed it's gone?
The recorder is at home. When you walk in with that goofy grin, she can tell you have been thrashing the little Savage at Hyper-Legal speeds.

I finally opened up my bike today and "cleaned" out the air filter. All I did was spray some of that compressed air in a can over the filter, and then tapped all the loosened dust out. The filter was pretty clean in the first place, but I did it more of as a way to get familiar with my bike.
It took a week of finding the right time, and buying all my tools,
before I could finally do this. I feel a lot more confident about doing maintenance on my '06 S-40 though, now that I've done something once.
so you had to save up for that phillips head screwdriver to get the airbox cover off?

No, I had to go buy a socket wrench, and then socket allen heads to take the seat off. It doesn't take a week to just buy a screw driver obviously.

Might take longer than a week, if you go looking for the proper screwdriver, which is not a Philips at all. Lotsa luck finding a JIS screwdriver at your local tool emporium.

Makes understanding how the upper shoulders get rubbed out easier. Looks like JIS has a sharper tip, so a #2 would ride high, fill the slots right at the top & not fill the slots down lower in the head of the screw. Now that Ive seen a pic, I think Ive got a small one of those. More of a heavy jewelry driver size than useful on a bike.

Just fillin' a square here:
Did you blow the air through the filter media from the inside out?

.
A few other places to find these screwdrivers:
I got all but one of my JIS screwdrivers here:
http://www.amessupply.com/products1.cfm?aid=1&cid=D&sid=DE&fid=1404070
Quality is good.
I got a #3 JIS screwdriver here:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#jis-(japanese-industrial-standard)-screwdrivers/=670nes
Quality is average.....but still good enough for working on a Savage.
IHTH!
