Naw, it's a cub.

The reason I'll take a '95 or better is for the starter torque limiter. That little bugger will keep the engine shutoff backspin from busting out your case.

Otherwise 4speed and 5speed have the same top end rev's.

Forgot about that little gem seeing as I have a '95. Good call.

It comes standard. Its likely a carb rejet is in order though you may get rid of the backfire simply by adjusting the idle mixture screw.

Come on, BurnPgh! Does anybody ever really get rid of the "backfire" (correctly termed an after-fire)? It comes back after you least expect it. And it's part of the charm of the Savage.
