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.

LOL!!!!
I bought the 2006 for my wife to see if she liked it. 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!

Nailz, I see you have the same muffler I have off a Night Train. Didn't notice it before. 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.

The muffler is off a 1996 Dyna (according to the E bay description). It sounds really nice and I used a dremmeled up soup can to make gaskets. So far so good!

I got the Jetset today and the Raptor petcock. 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!!!
