POP!! goes the Savage
07/07/07 at 12:55:53

Hello Savages
OK we all know Suzi backfires, but today on our group ride she was particularly LOUD.

Frequently when I would back off the throttle she would POP, but a couple of times then BANG.

You wanna see people duck, some of our guys think their being shot at seriously!

I was going over a bridge full of Asian fisherman and yup you guessed it BANG!!

They all jumped 6" high

So I then filled up with regular and no more backfires

Could it be a gas problem?

Enquiring minds wanna know?

mavrik. I had the same issue today. Not as funny as Asian fisherman though Grin

. I filled up with mid grade gas yesterday. Have not ridden till today. Wouldnt you know it. The bike has not back fired since I got it but after getting that gas It has started back firing on me. Well looks like I will go back to the cheap stuff, if you can call it that, and see what happens.

You know, still backfires but sporadically. My riding club hates the noise they are always bitc*ing about it. I think I'm gonna change my muffler and rejet

If they complain tell em it is just the bike clearing her throat. Everything I have seen is that high octane doesn't agree with the thumper. She's a dirty girl.

What octane did you go back to? 87 seems to work the best for me. There are alot of mods that I would like to look into doing but I just picked up the bike a short time ago and I was to run it awhile before I start tinkering.
