You can get rid of the backfire. I am working on sealing my crappity smacking leak at the header. I have spent more on fixing it myself than it would cost to have it done lol. Anyways, I am gonna go up to a 170 main since I am lean anyways. My engine is running pretty hot, i can feel it on my right leg.

Approximately 98.37528% of backfires are a result of air leaks in the exhaust system and/or a lean pilot circuit.

i went downtown last night and there was a chopper looking bike, and i asked the guy what it was and he shamefully said it was a honda. as if anything other then harleys are cool. his was way louder then a harley and i bet he has less problems then one too!

I finally got around to trying the "deliberate" backfire with my new (louder) muffler. You know, tap the shutoff by the throttle off then on again quickly... I imagine some poor soul on that backroad thinks they had a drive-by. Dang did that snap!

I bought my Savage because it DID backfire nicely with the fishtail the PO had just installed. Since then I have been experimenting in order to get LOUDER backfires and now have a 10" Canadian Tire 1 3/4" OD exhaust extension with 2 bends & a 4" Trumpet tip with a screw eye bolt as a baffle. Haven't tried the deliberate Kill Switch method yet - Thanks John_D for suggesting it.

Apparently it works better if you're under gentle acceleration, at least that's the way I've tried it. Only need to hit it for a second, off/on/POW!
