I can't get my transmission cover back on. The spring keeps flopping around and when I get it on it is to tight to even change gears🙃 any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Are you talking about the plate that holds the clutch springs or the actual outside cover? The outside cover should have no spring, so I guess you're not talking about that? When putting the clutch springs back, torque them diagonally to make sure you're not over-tightening them. Explain your problem further and I'll try to help. 😀
@HeavyMetalParkingSpot thank you for the response I wish I could upload a picture but idk how but I believe it's the outside plate with bout 10-12 screws. It seems that when I put it on the armed the pushes in when you pull in the clutch will not move at all after I tighten down the plate. I took the little spring off cause it didn't seem to do much at all. And it basically still locks up to the point I can't even pull in my clutch. If there is a way I can send you a picture or a video please let me know thank you again!
@@13at42z When you put the cover back on you need to push the clutch-thingy up, so that it seats correctly. You can find me on Instagram and drop me a picture there.
Hi! I really enjoy watching your videos working on your Savage! Could you please share your opinion about the bike and sitting position, I'm 185cm of height and thinking of getting exactly this one, but I'm a bit unsure if it's going to be a bit too small for me
Hey! Thank you! You're just a few cm taller than me. I would lie if I told you that this bike isn't small. But I don't think it's too small. Personally I like smaller bikes, it makes them more nimble I think. Replacing the bars made it more comfortable for me as well, and there's tons of bars to chose from. Not what you want to hear, but my best advice would be to go sit on one and see if you like it. I think they are really fun bikes! Good luck!
@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot Thank you for your advise! I already got a bit too hyped about LS650 so I'm most likely gonna get it, but will definitely try sitting on it first 🙌
I am not sure why on MIG mode, you adjust Amperage with the WIRE SPEED button. Perhaps you use Inches per minute instead of mm and even so you are short of the specs. There is no visible change on the speed of the wire motor. That's weird.
First of all, I'm far from an expert on welding, I'm sure someone that is could chime in here. But it seems like wire speed and amperage is supposed to be related. And, I'm not sure the wire speed has a unit on these machines? Isn't it just a random number?
Great video! I just had to take the engine of the BMW R80 out of the frame. I fortunately had a friend who helped me. On my own it would probably have been quite a struggle without any of your methods.
Thanks! Yeah, having friends is also a good option. But I don't have the patience to wait around, when I want to remove the engine I want to do it now! 😅
Brother i saw your message on instagram but could not reply because instagram was banned in my country hahaha you know i have some middle east living problems.Realllllly great video cause i have to remove engine but dont know how so i know what to do right now.Thanks for helping me staying old schooool !
Thank you very much! Yeah, I think you can just bend it. The main reason I bought a new one was because I wanted to compare it to my old one. But I definitely think you can bend your stock one back to shape!
what's up dude. hello from iceland. i have a 1987 Bobber Savage LS650 that had for about 2 years and i resived it in parts and i the wirering has been a mess so i have not done anything on the bike sence i had it ( bought it for about 360 bucks it's about 50k ISK ) and now i'm starting working on it again. Your vids are helping me alot how ever the more i can cut out of the wires the better like the Decompression selenoid and so on ( could you send me your wire diagram via email ? )
Hi! That's an awesome bike! I hope you get it running. I've decided to not release my wiring diagram, since I'm not 100% sure it's correct. However, I've been considering doing another, more detailed, video about wiring, since I've gotten quite a few requests about it.
Tool is great. I actually just keep it in gear, old the rear brake cable at the back with one hand and use a breaker bar on the nut with the other hand. It sucks.
Gracias bro!!! Me encantan tus videos!! 👌👌 La savage es mi primera motocicleta y ya tengo 3 años con ella pero lo que siempre he tenido problemas es con los repuestos, tu dónde consigues repuestos para la tuya!??
Thanks man! ✌️ Thats awesome! But too bad you're having problem finding parts. I have sourced some locally here in Sweden, but I've also ordered from Germany. Where are you located?
I found one of these when I rebuilt my engine, probably from a previous repair, I didn't realize at the time what this pin was for, so thanks for the info. Fortunately, I have fitted an oil pressure instrument to my engine, so I am sure that I have oil pressure. 🤞👍
I was actually right in the middle of researching bead rollers when you wrote this comment! What size would you recommend? And should one go for a motorized one or is manual good enough?
Just found your videos and loving them. I found the Knipex Plier Wrench is perfect to replace all the spanners and allows for sockets and a small breaker bar to take their place.
Thank you very much! After your comment I had to check out the Knipex plier wrench and that looks amazing! For my next tool kit I'm definitely getting one of those. Thanks for the tips!
I haven't felt comfortable releasing a full wiring diagram, since I haven't really ridden the bike enough to conform it actually works as intended. I really don't want to be responsible for setting someone else's bike on fire. 😅 There are lots of wiring diagrams floating around, and the service manual has the full factory one.
@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot ha no worries. I ended up chasing all the wires (thank god these are simple bikes because it was a rats nest). just as a something to do in the future, drum brake gs550 rear wheels fit without mods on these bikes and let run a 16 in rear
Nicely done, it came out a charm. Tip for using the riv-nut tool: set up the riv-nut so the handle are only half spread, as it is easier to put the riv-nut up at half spread than it is from full spread... better leverage.
Getting an impact driver and then a compressor or battery to drive it, for just a single nut, is in my world a bigger waste. But yes, an impact driver would have been great here.
Yooo…another banger!! The intro was mind blowing. Great job with the edit and the tool. The new bender comes in quite handy. Hope the bacon was tasty 😅
Hey man! Have been binging content on the Savage the last 12 hours, and love your videos brother! I’m considering buying a Savage my self and it needs to have a flywheel change, or that’s what the seller is saying. Is it hard and do I need some special tools to get it done? Would appreciate if you can help a potential first time owner out!
Thank you very much! Why does the seller think it needs a flywheel change? I've never heard about any Savage needing that, but I've heard about people shaving down the flywheel until it's basically not there anymore. 😀 What are the symptoms? I think there are two or three special tools that are needed to get the flywheel off, but it shouldn't be too hard. Overall these bikes are easy and fun to work on!
@@HeavyMetalParkingSpot He had a buddy of his that is a mechanic say that it needed change, the reason was that it was sparking when turning over. ⚡️👀 He has the parts and everything. I also asked if the cam chain tension adjuster was modified or changed but it hadn’t so believe I need to fix that too if I buy. After watching content of the bike, I got the feeling that it’s very basic and straightforward bike to work on. Would you say it’s hard to find parts for the bike? I’m based in Norway. I got some mechanical practice and knowledge but then again, I have never work on a bike, only cars & snowmobiles that I have owned in the past.
@@backnforth3022 Oh, I see! The thing I would consider is, what did he do to get the flywheel to spark? Is there anything else wrong with the engine? I don't know what the situation is like in Norway, but here in Sweden you can get a Savage for a pretty good deal kind of often. So just don't over-pay! I would say it's easy to find parts and they're not too expensive. If you know cars and snowmobiles you will be able to work in this bike without any problems!
Why would you make a tool that is hard to find? You have a shadow board, just hang it on there so you can find it easily any time you need it.🤣 But seriously, nicely done, mate.
Hey brother great idea on building your own tool done it many times for different purposes. As long as it works as it should that's great . Painting and stamping it ok at least it wont rust and who cares what you used as long as it works . Great video love the beginning lol
@@HeavyMetalParkingSpotA Savage is always something special. Either you have to strip everything, need special tools or have to recite incantations over the user manual and sacrifice a slice of bacon on the workbench....😎
