Odd for a motorcycle forum but it keeps that stuff contained at least. I'm 52 and live in Denver so I ride up in the mountains occasionally. The Savage is great for that type of riding. You're getting excellent mileage! I average in the low 50's.

You'll probably want to read up on the Dyna install in the tech section, if you haven't already. It's not a direct fit, but it's close. There are a couple of methods. I went with the simplest which is to make up a crush gasket from a strip of ribbed tin can. I'm new to bikes and It took me a couple of goes, but I'm stoked with the results - no silicon, cement or adapters.

I live at sea level, so I also re-jetted the carb. I'm running the stock air filter too.

BTW, make sure you get a Dyna with the correct mounting points. There are different models. There are a number of threads on here about it.

Reply #20 - 05/05/17 at 17:09:24 There are some videos with sound of the loose tensioner noise, but since you are a trained mechanic, there are posts on how to pull the cover to inspect. If you go to that trouble, you may wish to order the Versy one while the cover is off, or dear I say it, if you have competent welding skills you could make your own.

If you don't see the white box, and the words Yamaha and the part number listed.....it is a Chinese copy. Real Yamaha petcocks are around $30.

Well as I had said earlier, I had ordered the Yamaha petcock, and it's been sitting on my workbench since.....until this week.
I left for work on Saturday morning, and about 4 miles from my house, the bike dies!
Thinking that I might be low on fuel, I switch to reserve, and make it to the filling station. Only takes 1,2 gallons.....Hmmmm Undecided

Switch back to the primary tank, and continue to work, no issues there or home.

Sunday morning, I warm it up on choke, and head out. Got to the top of my hill and she dies again. Put the choke back on, start her, go another 3 miles, dead again.....in fact, it'll only run in the reserve position. Ride back home gently, and Take the Tacoma to work instead.

Well I drained the tank and did the petcock last night. In fact, I took the entire tank off, and did the rattling speedo fix as well.
The only way that I could ANY gas out of the rank was in the reserve position.

A coat of wax on the hidden frame areas, as well as the underside of the tank for good measure.
Reinstalled it all, with the new petcock, and she started right away! runs fine for 10 minutes in the garage! And, no more buzzing from the speedo and cable rattling! It gasket/insulator that sits at the bottom of the speedo housing, between the tank was also all folded under the plastic housing Sad

It's supposed to be 75* here today, so I'm riding in. While it's quite cloudy and 48* now, I'm goin!!!!

Thanks to all that assisted with my questions!
