Title: Buying a Used Savage - What to look for
Post by rcflier97 on 08/18/05 at 12:56:23

Yes, being old, forgetful, and to lazy to search - what should I be looking for (wrong) on a used 2002 Savage. Besides knowing that it has been dropped at least once, what other items should I look for to stay away from future trouble? ??? ???

Thanks

I don't know nothin' about motorcycles 'cept how to ride.

I figure if it's running strong and straight there can't be too much wrong with it. The previous owner of my bike rode roughly 60 freeway miles it to my house -- that was good enough for me.

It all depends, each bike has it's own history. I know when I bought my '86 the previous owner's son had owned it first and took the entire bike apart then when he put it back together he left out a bunch of the bolts. Mainly the engine mounting bolts and some of the bolts on the jug.

My suggestion look for any loose parts that shouldn't be that way.
