A 50 pilot jet? They come stock with a 52.5 and the one Lancer sells is a 55. Did you get the 50 also from Lancer?

Tonight I'm planning on doing the following:

Pilot jet: From 55 back down to stock 52.5
Main jet: From 155 down to a 152.5
White spacer: From 2 washers down to 1 (maybe even none)
My idle mixture screw is at 3 1/2 turns which is basically wide open.

I'm getting desperate to kill that backfire! Angry

I bought this kit off ebay, and dropped it in. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUZUKI-SAVAGE-LS650-S40-HI-PERFORMANCE-STAGE-I... Mine still backfires a bit on decel, but I think thats from my loose header to muffler connection.

The '96 came with a 52.5 pilot too just like the new ones so you actually went down a size. That's the first time I've heard of that, but it worked and that is what is important ... I may try that myself after this next attempt.

I had a loose muffler to head pipe connection problem too. The problem was the fitting had a slit in it. Air was escaping through this slit. Went to Advance Auto Parts and picked up an exhaust fitting that is 1 5/8 inner diameter (which is the thickness of our head pipe at the connection point) ... it worked great. Check there for exhaust fittings.

Got New Mirrors with Better Adjustment, but that means a lot of fiddling, of which I am still in the middle of!!!!

My Local Independent is a Harley Man and since the demise of the Local Polaris Agent, he is taking on the care of a number of Victories.

A Committee discussion, came to the conclusion that my short Arms and Legs mean that I need to go for 2 Inch Risers and bars with a slight pull back, not as severe as the Stock "Buckhorns" which I also had with the bike.

I will let you know what they are like when I get Them.

These are "Highway Hawk" supplied in the UK.

Quoting myself so that we can catch up.

I have put on the new pull back bars and lowered the risers to 2".

What I have now instead of the Stock Buck Horn or the straight trail style on 4" Risers, is pull back bars exactly the same as the buck horn stock bars, but 2" wider, ridden it back from the shop and it fels real comfy, I can also see past me in the mirrors!!!!! Grin
