Bought a 2008 Savage this weekend
08/05/13 at 17:50:18

I knew I was going to get one after selling the 2006 Savage early last week. I found a 4500 mile 2008 Savage for a good price. The bike is in excellent condition and has a Boulevard windshield, saddle bags with supports, and a crash bar. It's red.

I put on a Dyna muffler today and removed the brass plug to get to the mixture screw. I have a JetSet coming soon, and a Raptor petcock. It has a flat spot off idle that improves a bit after riding, but I am sure a little jetting will cure that. Pics coming soon.

This is a great site with lots of great info!!!

I have the saddle bags off for cleaning and carb work.

There is nothing that makes us yawn more than a previous Savage owner-who gets a great price-who knows how to tune his own bike- and has parts on order to make it perfect. We need noobs with a rough '98 model with a Honda mag wheel on front and a Poulan chainsaw engine cobbled on to run a pair of heated gloves. Best of luck anyways. Grin

It was a bit rough in appearance but ran great and she loved it. I did most of my "learnin" on that one. It sure is nice to have one with all the parts included at the time of purchase!

Just recommended it on the Rubber Side Down Forum for ease of installation and only turned screw out about a turn. You got a good looking bike.

I did the jets and the spacers and installed the petcock. The bike runs perfect. No lag at all. It pulls perfect. I did drill two 3/8" holes in the Dyna baffle plug to get a bit more flow and sound. Now the bike runs like it should!!!
