So after putting the Savage on a major diet, I have my '96 back together and I'm loving it. I swapped out all the airbox junk for a Ryca cone style filter and a little Biltwell muffler on the stock header pipe.
Ordered Lancer's kit, and I bumped the pilot jet up to a 55 and the main to a 150. Also did the white spacer mod. The petcock has also been replaced with whatever the board recommended alternative part (from a Raptor?) is.
Other than the jetting stuff, petcock, intake, and exhaust, the engine is totally stock.
Bike idles fine and starts up fine with no choke. Runs fine and seems to accelerate fine at normal speeds (like driving around on 35 or 45mph roads). Performs well up to around 50mph.
The problem is when I'm hitting highway speeds or really getting on the throttle, the bike stumbles. Almost like it cuts out for a split second, then picks right back up, which gives it sort of a "surging" feeling. This happens if I'm holding a constant speed (like in the 60+ mph range) or if I'm accelerating hard. When holding a constant speed, it does it pretty frequently, like 3 times in 10 seconds, but sometimes it will be fine for a mile or two.
I'm able to run at an indicated 70 or 75mph, so it isn't like the bike is completely neutered or incapable of speed.
My next idea is to bump up one more size on the main jet, since I have such a free flowing intake / exhaust setup. Thoughts?
