Ride to work

Got to ride the savage to work today Grin

. 22 miles on the expressway at 65mph and the savage performed like a champ. The jetting changes that I made this winter make the savage a different bike. I am running a 152.5 main with a stock pipe and she'll cruise at 70 no problem. Once I swap out to a sporty pipe, I think I may have to jump up to the 155 main to see if I can get some more top end.

That's it though, no more. I noticed a midrange boost after adding the sportster pipe, but not much difference in top end. Good luck and let us know.

On one you can see light and on one you cant. Of course dont remove your pipe, I was just wondering if you remember. Oh yeah, and are you running a K&N? thanks

Finally got some good weather today and got a short ride in. I was able to get the scoot up to 80mph, ran out of road and nerve. Felt that there was some left, wasn't at full throttle. The 152.5 main and sportster muffler has made a big difference. Must be close to being right where it should be, couldn't get it to backfire like it used to Sad

, just an occasional small fart. The header pipe has started to turn back to yellow from blue. I thought that once the pipe was blue it stayed. Ride Safe

Cannot see light thru the sportster muffler, I remember from when I put it on.

There appears to be a plug or slug in the middle that could be knocked out, making the muff more of a glass pack straight-thru kind of deal. I haven't tried it cause it runs so well as is.

Still running the stock airbox & filter for now.

Very seldom do I get anything that resembles a backfire anymore, except when I need to switch to reserve.

Too bad the bike don't run like this from the factory.
