Perhaps a state might help us find someone who can lend a guiding hand/reliable service person etc. But doing it yourself is "more fun" :o |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by Dee on 10/12/07 at 20:33:29 I used to have alot of backfiring before I put my bike iin for its first service, now I rarely have it. However, I love my 01 savage! I bought it in June with 493 miles on it in mint condition! I took the safety course & have been riding every chance I get. I put 3500 miles on it !!! Just changed the oil & looks like it might be put away for the winter. The weather here in Pa finally changed to Autumm! I am hoping to get a few afternoon rides in!! |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/13/07 at 11:00:26 I sent Carol in Tyler a PM & responded here. No response. Must be wayyyy busy.. It's been real pretty here, maybe she is suffering thru the backfires & having fun.. |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by Baldeagle on 10/13/07 at 13:21:27 Well justin ,she's missing out not contacting you to help. ( or doing the whole mod.) :) :) |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by Carol_Elane on 10/14/07 at 11:31:11 Thanks for every one's quick response, thinking about waiting until I have my first service done before I modify the carb.I think most of my problem stems from the fact that I drilled out the brads and knocked out most of the stuff inside the muffler except for whats behind the screen,couldn't reach that.I like the sound,I'm left with,but it seems to have made the backfire worse, maybe I should'nt have messed it, but I like people to hear me coming and now they sure do, lol,especially when it backfires. Justin,do you think I should wait until after my 600 mile service? |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by bill67 on 10/14/07 at 11:39:19 I always took a long drill bit and drilled out the back plate .Suzuki are only a little louder. I had a honda vx 600 it sound like straigh pipes. YOU are leaner now but because its louder you hear the backfire more. |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/14/07 at 12:44:37 It was too lean before. If you opened the exhaust that much, you better get it jetted right away. |
|
Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/14/07 at 12:50:36 I hope this isnt a duplicate post, but I cant go back right now. Connection ois so slow it would take too long. YTour bike was too lean before you messed with the exhaust. What you have done to the exhaust may have some impact on warranty. It certainly needs jetted now, I mean now as in Right Now, it is way too lean. |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by musicdorian on 10/14/07 at 13:05:29 Let me preface my response by stating the disclaimer first. I don't know much about the subject, other than bikes in California are set up to run lean, and I have heard people say that the "leanness" of the mixture contributes to the backfiring. I was in a shop, talking to a motorcycle tech who used to work on S-40s. He said that there is no way to get rid of the pop. Whether he is right or not, I don't know. He knows alot about the subject, but he may have been subtely steering me toward the other brand that he now works on. I personally try to enjoy the sound of our crude little engines. They remind me of what early motorcycles must have sounded like. |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by musicdorian on 10/14/07 at 13:13:52 Carole, when I feel the shaking of the engine, and I hear the occasional pop (usually when letting off of the trottle), I say to myself ....Whaa-hoo...now that is what a real "motor-sickle" should sound like...!!! |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 10/14/07 at 17:20:02 Carol, it would help the folks know how to respond if they knew the extent of the mods made so far. |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by spike on 10/18/07 at 06:36:45 Georgia? Is that in the US? Dee it's not time to put it a way. I live here in Pa also, lots of riding time still left. I ride yr round. Lets ride! |

Title: Re: I love my 06 s40 but.... Post by spike on 10/18/07 at 06:54:24 I don't think I've heard of one that dosn't pop. ??? It's the Nature of The Beast. 8) If you only had one lung you would be coughing to. ;D |
