99' Savage Backfire
06/14/15 at 22:00:33
 
I recently purchased a 99 Suzuki Savage LS650 and had to do some work to get her up and running.  Everything is running great! And she is purrrring like a kitten.  However I am having 1 minor issue.  Whenever I shut off the bike, 2-3 seconds after shutdown it backfires and sounds like a gun going off!  I have been told that the bike is running to rich and I need to make it a little leaner!  Where on the carb is the screw I've also been told about that will adjust it to run a little leaner which should stop the backfire at shutdown only !  Can someone please help out a new Savage Lover/Rider/Enthusiast !!

That's character...   Grin...
Seriously,.. you don't tune a bike for what it does after you turn it off...
That is nothing more than one piston's worth of unspent fuel blowing in the muffler...

If it bothers you... let the bike idle for 10 seconds before you shut off,...
... but,.. you can embrace the character of the Savage... and learn to love it's swan song...

If it runs good, don't mess with it. Check for exhaust leaks, any kind of air leak into the muffler after shutdown will make a backfire worse.

Mine give a muffled "whoomp" after shutdown. When I had an air leak.. yeah, it sounded like a gun.

I can tell you EXACTLY what it feels like to get hit by a truck. I do not recommend anyone try it themselves.

Like most have said and more will tell you, the backfire is normal, also popping and backfiring on deceleration will happen also.
There are numerous posts where that issue is addressed, go to the "Tech Section" and read up on the exhaust and carb mods.....

my bikes noisy as hell.
U'll prolly never get that to go away, and if you do the bike won't be running healthy.

When it matters, I avoid the occasional gunshot crack at shutdown by pulling out the choke before shutting down.

I twist the grip as the engine is slowing down.  Make for a nice LOUD boom. Grin
