DianeS. here.  I only got my 2000 Savage two months ago, and I'm a new biker so....not too adventurous to do many mods until I read the manual and get some more knowledge.  Our garage does stay above freezing though, so I've managed to keep the bike for use on the nicer days, just to keep the battery charged etc.

I did order saddlebags, a windshield, and an engine case guard but they aren't in yet.  I did also put in a K & N air filter, and oil filter.  The bike came with a jardine exhaust, but I'll have to see whether I need to try and do the carb mod. or not.  Runs pretty well as far as I can tell, but I'll know better once I've ridden it more in the warmer weather.

Maintenance so far (considering it's summer here):

- Oil and oil filter change (Castrol GTX and OEM Suzuki filter)

- Rear brake lining

- One tank of gas every week

- 300 kms or riding per week (just to keep her tuned)

Best,

RW

Welcome Felipe!  Please excuse my ignorance but what is "The Lettuce"?

I did register myself once upon a time but have since forgotten who I am as far as site moniker goes so lazily signed in as a guest yesterday.  Was I "Phil the Pastor"? or is that on sidecarcross.com - another passion.  So it was Felipe the guest this time.  Make mine a café con leche at the bar.

Meanwhile "The Lettuce" is the nickname my GSX1100 riding best mate Mick came up with after discovering I'd caught the Savage bug - jesting that it was "about as savage as a lettuce" and the name stuck.  I love my LS650 to bits.  Must fly - papers to hand in at Hacienda - that's the IRS to you statesiders.  Sun's out again so I'll do the 60km round trip on the old salad shaker.

Bendiciones.

There you are!!

I knew you would show up again.  Good to see ya.

Another refugee from Bert's board reporting in.  Been lurking for quite a while.  Terrific board here - nice to see old friends and new folks.  By the way, tried to "register" and it said I was successful, and would get a password via e-mail so I could login...but the password never came.  Does it make any difference?

Anyway, no mods this winter.  Mike M - Cleveland, Ohio

I take you have used it before, I use it sometimes in various things that set around but not as often as I should - anyway after 6 months with stabil in the tank does the gas still smell like gas and is it still clear?

I see them out there and wonder if they're worth having - I guess not huh

What the L kind of animule is a buffallow any way
