Greetings,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the founders and regular contributors of this forum. In the past month i have received a lot of helpful information from kind users. That information has helped me take a used savage that needed some TLC and turn it into a fun, durable ride.

Without the guidance and generosity of users here, i would have sunk 500-700 at a mechanic to fix issues they may not have even been able to recognize. I am very grateful for this forum.

Yesterday, my raptor petcock came in and i replaced it myself in about ten minutes. The bike runs so much darn better. I am not experiencing any issues with throttle and sputter.

This forum helped me identify issues and guided me through fixing them.

Here are some photos i took this weekend with my maiden voyage to a nearby mountain.
