Cam chain comparability.
10/30/17 at 15:20:53
Borg Warner advertise a cam chain with a joiner setup for the 1986 - 1989 Savage. Is this the same chain that is fitted to current models? The joiner setup is really just two pins that go through the sheaves of the link and are then peened over.

I would imagine the ends of the pins are spun over....same as we did when taking bulk saw chain and making it into specific size chains.
I suppose you could peen it over (I have done when I got a good deal on some new chain and needed to shorten it) - but it might be a bit hard to get the job done with the engine still in the frame.
The best chain deal is to buy a new Nitrided one from Lancer. I believe they are Borg Warner chains.

I will someday need another chain, so do you have Lancer's contact info? A web site? And...cost? While replacing chain what other items should be replaced?
Thanks!

You can find Lancer's stuff in the Marketplace section.
Here is a link to the camchain thread:

If you have not done so already I would suggest that you also replace the stock tensioner with the one modified by Verslagen. It can save your engine from self destruction.

And you'll get more service life from the chain.

What about tensioner shoes?
They are not on catalogue anymore; where (else) can I find a pair?

All the engine parts from the new bike fit the older bikes - so when you can't find a part listed in the old parts lists........look at a list for a newer model. The only things that don't interchange are the 4 speed transmission parts to the 5 speed model, the starter torque limiter with the early left side engine cover, and early charging/rotor/stator/wiring systems.

Lancer: yes, #2 and #3.
Dave, the Savage went out the window of Suzuki dealerships the day EU legislation enforced EFI on all motorcycles.
The Savage sold in such low numbers they simply pulled it off the list.
Too recent to qualify as "vintage", too old to qualify as "OEM spares".

You may need to find an online parts supplier that will ship to you - or get the parts when you visit the US and put them in your suitcase.......or get a nice forum member to buy them and ship them to you.

I already have a modified tensioner on my bike - I did the machine work myself on a brand new one. It has been in now for over 4,500 miles. Seems to work OK. I will take off side cover next Spring/Summer to check on it.
