new owner w/questions (Read 1 times)

smitty79 Ex Member	new owner w/questions 06/21/07 at 18:39:17 Hi all, great site. i just bought a 2000 Savage and have two issues/questions. 1. I'm wondering what can be done to the seat. I'd like something wider and possibly further back. 2. when I downshift and the rpm's get low, the bike is backfiring..any ideas??? Thanks for the help in advance, I know new guys can be annoying.

The backfire is common. Swap exhausts, several options, some cheap, others, not so cheap. Rejet, open up the airflow at the intake & Voila,new bike.

There are some fine 'gearheads' on this site and they have been a great help to me. RIDE SAFE!!

There is a thread around here under the name of "seat lift" that has instructions and pics. I never even bothered getting a new seat after a 1" lift.
