The racing world where engines are run at full and highly modified - is very different from the world where a Savage is ridden. Most Savage are ridden well within their ability to stay cool.
The one exception is DragBikeMike. He has modified his oil system substantially, and he has overdrive gears on his pump, an oil cooler, and additional plumbing that directs an oil supply to the higher gears in his transmission. His engine was making so much power that it over stressed the transmission and the gears were failing.
That being said... you can ride to yours and your savage limit at a steady pace. As long as that pace is maintained.
Coming to a full stop a freeway off ramp is a game changer, you must keep moving even at a slow pace or you'll start to hear the oil boiling on top of the valves and your ankles will fry.
