Anyone who looks at my post count knows I've been here a while. Also, I lost a good number of posts when justin o guy quit working, then justin o guy 1 quit, and in the eleven years of seeing people come and go I've seen some really groundbreaking stuff. Some truly gorgeous paint work, some really clever problem solving, but nobody has ever just said That belt doesn't Have to be so wide, and that shock doesn't Have to be so asymmetrically located. I'm gonna fix that. I'm watching this closely, and digging it. Some day, someone will get one Savage and do everything you can do. Of course, the chain mod AND belt trimming won't exactly work together.. The cam timing with the worn chain idea is possibly the coolest solution to an everyday problem. Not to take anything away from the Versy. I think I'm impressed by it because no parts are needed, but a Eureka moment, seeing that Okay, if I advance the cam timing a tooth on the gear, that is too much, but if I retard the gear one spline, then it will work..
That's some moment..
When I go into mine I'm gonna add a spring to the Versy, I think the spring from the stock petcock will do nicely. They put a good flat end on it on both ends. Might be enough to do two,, not sure,, but I have a cam chain soaking in oil, and, my future SIL told me that for Christmas he's having a guy get the Kawasaki W650 cleaned up and fixed up and ready to go, so, I'll be able to do a complete makeover on the Savage and not be without a bike. Question is, does it need it?
