Hey guys and gals,
I bought my savage in February with 3993 miles(have closer to 6k now), all stock with not ever the carb modified. After riding around a bit the bike scared me more then a couple of times with its crazy backfires!
I found this forum and found out about the bike being lean so I started modding, I got a dyna muffler which I quickly switched out to Mac because the dyna muffler was just too quiet.
I then looked for something quieter so I got a Jardine but that wasent any quieter, I repacked the Jardine but that dident help either so I went back to the Mac and am happy with it for now
I think the muffler sounds louder when your on the bike then when you pass someone.
I rejetted the carb to a 152.5 main and left the stock jet at 52.5 but then I wanted a cone filter and had to switch to a 55 pilot
I love the cone filter just because of the great sound I get out of it when I twist the throttle
I still get great gas mileage, 50mpg+
I added 6" forward control and love the bike that much more because im 6'2¾"
Just yesterday I installed a GS550 speedo cable and a mini speedo as I hated looking down to see what speed im going.
I got a nice gauge from Dime City Cycles and the speedo cable from Ebay
I tested the speedo with a GPS and its right on, thanks ToesNoes thread I was sure it would work for me
I ended up buying another Savage with a good title to part out here and on ebay
Here's some pics
