Hi I'm Sandy I am like really new at riding my hubby bought me a Savage 98 dark blue and I got the bug man I love riding. I have been doing parking lot stuff the first week and this week I am flying down the highway going to a camp ground today was a blast as I did my first curves turns(counter steering) up and down hill!!! I no longer have to look at the back of his helmet if I choose not too lol! Cool

Relations can teach you bad habits as well as good. Any way you will find all you need to know about the workings of your Savage on this site. Welcome.

Fires the spark plug. The ignition system changed a little bit when the model went from 4-5 speeds. Something about some magic magnet that tells the plug to fire. Wink

You'd never miss the 5th gear, it's useless. Almost exactly the same ratio as the older 4th gear. If not exactly.

Have fun learning your bike, each Savage is a unique machine. And I do mean that in a good way.
