Reply #3 - 10/12/07 at 16:10:52 I know you don't want a slew of savages visiting, but your profile gives very little hint as to your location. 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"

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!!

No response. Must be wayyyy busy.. It's been real pretty here, maybe she is suffering thru the backfires & having fun..

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?
