I have just added a motorsaver air filter to my Savage 25 recently and it is now running really hot what could be my problem
 
maybe thers a little more stuff to suck air through and its restricted a little, try richening it a little.
 
I'd say that the richening up the mixture should solve the problem. When you installed the more open air filter (the MotorSaver), you probably created a lean condition....more air than fuel equals lean. Lean equals hot temps.

Try richening a bit and see what happens.
 
Yep, running too lean, same thing happened to mine when I first installed one of those filters since it gets so much more airflow
