I will check that out tomorrow. Although i just read your post about going 70. My bike at 60 is reving so high i think my teeth are going to rattle out. I did clean the garb over the winter but I guess i could do it again. Saxon

After fixing that issue though I have topped out 91 before a curve on a super windy day on a short straight patch. That 70 was WOT and it wouldn't give any more. This is with 5 speed.

As for the vibes the more you ride the more intune you get with the bike and the vibes seem different. Every time I'm off more than a week for rain and stuff I have to get my feel back for the vibes at high speed.

And clear i'm far more concerned about the darn engine blowing up than the fear of going fast.. the bike sounds like a insane squirell at about 55+ Saxon

I have a ´88 with 4 speed. had the same problem, just going bearly over 60. But I could "feel" that the engine was lacking fuel on top speed, due torgue was not constant.

So I changed to raptor... Now I am able to do almost 80 and torgue is complete different througout the range.

So If cone is not the reason, better check this one.

hmm... when you take the top of the carb off and remove that weird slide assembly, the two jets u see are air jets. I believe the pilot air jet is a 47 and the main air jet is like a 230. the larger Jets have the number on top and the smaller pilot jets have it written on the side. anyway the fuel Jets are on the bottom of the carb, like where the whole bowl and float assembly is.
so that weird slide assembly is a whole thing in and of itself. if you look down the center there are two screws holding down a plate (take extra care not to strip them). underneath that place is a spacer, an e-clip, a washer,a spring, and the jet neddle. if the washer between the spring and e-clip is not the right size or there isn't one, the spring can bind up on the e-clip. take some pictures so we can see what's going on.

A 650cc motor trying to breath through a puny filter like that is like try to run a mile while breathing through a straw. Just from surface area alone, that "filter" has maybe 1/10 of the filtering area of the stock paper filter.

IOW, you need a much larger filter.

Also you need a larger filter because this is a single cylinder motor. Four-cylinder motors can get by with smaller filters (and mufflers) because the flow is more constant, while the Savage flow is in individual gulps.

Thanks very much guys. I've never really done all this alone so i'm trying like hell to study up and try and figure it out. I really appreciate all the help.

What filter would you recommend Gyro? seems like my pod does infact have that huge lip on it that i'll try to carve away in the meantime. And thank you Boogie for that write up bud. It's much needed.

I'll take a picture of the pod and carb here in a few minutes and post it up after i throw it back on.

P.S. Here's a picture of her as of now. Currently chopping up a trailer fender to bolt on a shorty fender for the back.

haha ya go figure huh. I like your bike man, it looks a lot like mine. actually it gives me some ideas on how to make mine better. specifically the tank. I have like a jet black Sportster tank and it kinda looks retarded. now that I see what a savage tank wud look like, because our bikes are so similar in style, I definitely need a savage tank. also, your seat is bent up in the back way more than mine, which is good because when I get up to like 90mph I have nothing to brace my rump against,, gotta hold on for dear life.

Thanks man. I do leather work so I just stripped the seat and threaded and stapled it up with some scraps i had laying around. Came out alright I've been staring at some of the solo seats people have made up on this forum but I could see how the bend would make it alot more comfortable. Other than the fact it's rigid with no darn springs under the seat. haha.

I cut up the rubber on the pod to make room for that breather on the top of carb intake. We'll see how much of a difference that makes tomorrow

Oh ya, u do leather? I used to do leather and then I blew my arms out. but it would be nice to get back into it after they heal. check out my portfolio, you might get a kick outta some of the leather work. http://society6.com/timflora

I'll post up some pictures in the morning. pretty much tore up the entire pod making a viable port on the top. We'll see how much that does. Saxon
