You do need to upgrade the carburetor guts, if not replace the entire thing with a cable slide Mikuni or proper Bendix/SU/S&S/Edelbrock Quicksilver.
You do need to get a Barnett clutch kit and a spring kit for said clutch. Braided stainless front brake hose is a mandatory safety enhancement, along with EBC brake pads/shoes, and a Yamaha 660 Raptor petcock. Oh, Barnett clutch and throttle cables, and before installing, cable lube or (my way) soak both of them and the rear brake cable in a bucket of hydraulic or GL1 gear oil for a week or so. Speedometer cable is self lubing on Savages, it acts as an oil wick...
Drop your fork tubes and do a fluid change. Drop the triple tree out and service the steering bearings. Pull the speedometer out, remove the rear gear housing and lubricate the guts (Vaseline).
If the tires are getting thin or cracked, change them. Shinko are sufficient for this bike.
Change the headlight bulb, they do dim as they age. Corrosion and micro pitting on the terminals reduces the carrying capacity.
That's all the "easy" stuff.
