We used to do this type of thing all the time for cars and faced similar troubles. I don't know that motorcycle shops do it. One would think so, given how lean many bikes run.

The suzuki shop I took mine to took out the spacer after I complained to them about backfire. They completely took the spacer out, so now I have to go back in and fix it since they should have just modded the spacer.

That's is why I don't trust work from Stealership. I think they purposely screws things up so that you have to bring it back for MORE services. There is nothing like the feeling of fixing your own thing with TLC and keep the money in your pocket at the same time Cheesy

Yep, everything was stock at the time. It created a "bucking" at low throttle I think when they took the spacer out altogether. So after research I think it is the lack of a spacer that is causing it.

I would love to have done it myself to start with, but without a shop or even a good place to work on the bike at my house, it makes it really difficult. Plus I am missing some tools, and have no idea where they went. Very upsetting.
