Hey guys, new to the forum but have been browsing for the past week. I just traded my old katana for a savage recentley and after riding for a bit i love her!

Heres my question though, i currentley have her pulled apart and replacing the oil plug cap and while im in there im going to yank the white spacer for the carb and access the idle screw (i cant say enough thanks to Savage_Greg and all you guys for the write ups and info on here) but i was wondering if theres anything else i should do while i have the head cover off? The bike has 13,000 miles and runs very well but seeing as im new to the savage scene theyre might be something i should replace or modify while shes down for the count?

Thanks alot guys, from reading posts you all seem pretty cool and i think ill be much happier here than with the street bike guys haha

Ps if anyone reading this has a spare passenger footpeg for sale please let me know, the old lady is sick of only having a broken nub to put her feet on

Hi Johnny, welcome to the forum.
If you post in the marketplace category for the footpeg, you might get a quicker response. A lot of guys on here are either bobbing or RYCAing their bikes, leaving uneeded footpegs laying around.
Other than that, you might wanna throw in a new spark plug while in there. And be careful that you're oil filter don't go in backwards. A few guys have done that by mistake.
Also, in the Technical Documents category, There is a list of links, detailing just about anything you need to do on your bike. If it ain't there, just ask.

It runs well but obviously it still pops and backfires and needs alittle more mid range power, thus modifying the stock setup
