How do I change my front brakes on a 2003 suzuki Savage LS650?
It will help your MPG. As long as you don't get too crazy on the gas and try to race :o) I put one on my 2000 Nissan Maxima and it helped the MPG go up around 1 to 2 mpg But when I added the High flow CAT and CAT Back exhaust it gave me another 1 to 2 extra MPG. Not to mention it gave it some more horse power (around 15+ horse) that I use when I need it. (When people are riding my bumper, I leave them in the dust, etc.) The hardest part is un-installing all the old air intake stuff. The rest is cake. You will love how it sounds when you get it on as well. (too cool!) Hope this helps some.

It's highly unlikely that you'll notice a difference. The engines computer will automatically adjust for air density, temp, pressure to sync with fuel management. There have been complaints about them not performing as they claim. That is the reason why. Those cotton filters saturated w/ oils have been known to atomize the oil over time clog up the MAP sensor. That will set off the check engine light b/c it's part of the emissions control. Cold air ram air filters work well with high performance engines that are usually custom built. On a stock engine, it hasn't shown any changes that will justify the hundreds it can cost. You will notice that you're a little poorer. I did put a KN filter in an 07 Impala not a thing changed. I did an 01 Dodge w/ a Cummins diesel it made a difference on 20hp according to the dyno. But the draw back was it got worse mpg's. I think it would have been worth keeping if I towed often w/ it. But, diesel fuel costs were terrible back then I regret making that purchase. It cost $300. I could have bought a lot of fuel for that money.
1)get a repair manual for the bike 2)basic idea is this-remove the 2 bolts that hold the caliper to the front fork, remove 1 brake shoe-it should almost fall out, take a c clamp and use the other remaining shoe to push the pistons back into the caliper. Next remove the other shoe-this on some bikes can be a struggle, but can be done. Then installing the new shoes is the reverse of removal with the following note-make sure the pistons are not seeping fluid, make sure the brake shoes are locked into place under their holding devise and finally after you reinstall the caliper-pump the handle till pressure comes back up. Now if the brake rotor is gouged, make sure you have it resurfaced before installing the new brakes, as it will wear them out quickly. and not provide a good gripping surface for the new brake pads
Any time you can get good clean air into a engine, your doing great. The nmore air the better
