The original was rusting and had a distinct Jetsons space car sound going until she got warmed up. Pics to follow.

It sure changes the look of the bike, doesn't it? In a good way. I don't know why Suz designed such a large obtrusive silencer for the nimble Savage.

Has anybody weighed the stock and Dyna muffler to get the weight savings? It's probably not a lot (unless the stock one coming off is full of rust and soot), but I would think that along with the better sound and trim appearance you can psychologically feel the weight loss.

I've gotta do this. My S40 wheezes like an emphysema patient breathing through a dog whistle til it gets hot. Rob, what did you pay for the new can?

About 20 bucks. I still have two Sportster mufflers I bought by accident. I really wanted the ease of the Dyna install (mounting with a bolt and no hammer... Cheesy

I have the tank and the carb off right now. I am going to pull the idle mix screw plug, put some washers in place of the full size one, and get to tuning it. Just gotta get a magnetic screwdriver, I don't wanna screw around with trying to get those screws back in, pun intended!

Here is a link to the Vessel JIS sets....they are really nice. I bought the Motorcycle repair kit - and unfortunately the impact driver just doesn't work and I wouldn't recommend it. The 900 kit (not the 900/6 kit) is a good deal if you want the basic kit.....add the 920 kit if you want the stubby drivers.

Sonny,

The #1 & #2 are the sizes that you will use on carburetors.

Serowbot is absolutely right about replacing the screws with Allen Head Screws, preferably stainless steel.

Dave sells a set of Allen Head Screws for the Mikuni carb on our bikes.

If you are just replacing a couple of screws at a time, Ace Hardware will have screws that are much better than anything that is used to put the carbs together at the factory.
