Title: 99' Savage Backfire Post by Lousavage024 on 06/14/15 at 22:00:33 I recently purchased a 99 Suzuki Savage LS650 and had to do some work to get her up and running. Everything is running great! And she is purrrring like a kitten. However I am having 1 minor issue. Whenever I shut off the bike, 2-3 seconds after shutdown it backfires and sounds like a gun going off! I have been told that the bike is running to rich and I need to make it a little leaner! Where on the carb is the screw I've also been told about that will adjust it to run a little leaner which should stop the backfire at shutdown only ! Can someone please help out a new Savage Lover/Rider/Enthusiast !! |

Title: Re: 99' Savage Backfire Post by Serowbot on 06/14/15 at 23:25:37 That's character... ;D... Seriously,.. you don't tune a bike for what it does after you turn it off... That is nothing more than one piston's worth of unspent fuel blowing in the muffler... If it bothers you... let the bike idle for 10 seconds before you shut off,... ... but,.. you can embrace the character of the Savage... and learn to love it's swan song... :)... |

Check for exhaust leaks, any kind of air leak into the muffler after shutdown will make a backfire worse. Mine give a muffled "whoomp" after shutdown. When I had an air leak.. yeah, it sounded like a gun. |

Title: Re: 99' Savage Backfire Post by old_rider on 06/15/15 at 09:39:11 Like most have said and more will tell you, the backfire is normal, also popping and backfiring on deceleration will happen also. There are numerous posts where that issue is addressed, go to the "Tech Section" and read up on the exhaust and carb mods..... |

Title: Re: 99' Savage Backfire Post by Boogieman on 06/15/15 at 22:26:43 my bikes noisy as hell. U'll prolly never get that to go away, and if you do the bike won't be running healthy. Thnk Uncle Buck. |
