Its been five long years since my 1990 Savage has turned a wheel.  But its back up and running stronger than ever now!  So excited!!!  It had a clicking/noise from the cam chain/adjuster.  So I parked it and waited till I had time to work on it.  In general that time never came.  I put in the new cam, (Thanks Lancer!) a Stage 1 if I remember correctly.  And then it sat for a while more with the engine open and only a towel draped over it to keep moisture out.  A while more sitting and then I ordered my Verslavy tensioner (Thanks Verslagen!) and after a short wait after getting it I put that in.  And thanks to my wife's uncle its back up and running!

What a difference in performance!  That cam is awesome.  I didn't realize until tonight how much I missed my Savage.  I've had an Intruder 800 and a VStar 1100 since then but the Savage is my favourite.  Now to teach my 17 year old son to ride.

Thanks again guys for being willing to ship parts to Canada.
 

First mod I did was S/TRapp w/ 14 disks & rejet the carb. Later on, at about 15,000 I did the Stage 1 & put a chain in. The Ooomph boost from the TRapp was noticeable. The Ooomph boost from the cam was almost as big. It wont wheelie w/o dumping the clutch. Someone ( The guy from NM, got his truck stolen by a "friend", had an extended front end, said his would wheelie ( I Think he said this) by just quickly opening the gas up, rolling in first) Got IT! Yonuh Adisi!,, Finally, after I typed all that,, dangitt,, Owell,, I DID remember,,
