Lately I've been riding the Savage to work daily.. Leave at around 7-8am when it's a bit chilly out (45-60 degrees usually) and the bike runs like a champ, great throttle response, acceleration, and very very little foot vibrations (handle bars don't change). and the bike feels like it could climb all the way to 85mph without skipping a beat.
But on the way home between 5 and 6pm after it's warmed up (70+ dehrees).. the bike seems like it's struggling a bit in every way.. acceleration is just a tad slower, the foot vibration on the brake side is UNBEARABLE, I find myself hovering my foot on the peg for a couple seconds every 4 or 5 minutes to give it a break
and at 65 the vibration just makes the bike feel like it's doinga 10,000rpms or something.
And on warm WINDY days.. anything over 45 is just an accident waiting to happen.
Right now my bike is averaging 35-45(rarely)mpg..
No aftermarket parts.. stock exhaust and everything but it's got the largest pilot and main jet in it from Lancer.. Nothing else was done to the carb, the washer mod was not done.
