Backfire when key is turned off

My S40 has a really loud backfire when i turn the key off. That is the only time it does it. i replaced the petcock with a raptor one. that is the only mod on the bike.

Sounds normal. What year? Stock jets in the carb? You can tune out most of the backfires but not all of them. Learn to like it.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

Some folks pull the choke and shut it down (I have never done that), some just pull up in first gear, clutch in, and put down the kickstand (it will kill it when in gear most times without a bang), then turn everything off.
I turn off the gas..... let it idle for about 30 seconds or so, then shut off the key...8 times out of 10 it won't pop loud.... just go "poof"....
But I've done the spacer mod and adjusted my fuel/air needle....

You can also hold the brake and let the clutch out slowly to slow the engine to the point of dying. It will just shut off with no bang.

Check to make sure the vacuum port on the right side of the carb is properly plugged.
When I did the raptor conversion, the cap I put on it fit tight, but would still leak. I put some RTV sealant around the nipple, put the cap back on, let it cure overnight and my (((loud))) backfiring went away. It still went 'poof' on shutdown, but not a bang.

Two things cause a bike to backfire or "Pop" when rolling off the throttle or on shut down. One is the carb is jetted too lean as with our stock Savage carb. The other is a straight pipe or straight through muffler with NO internal baffle......they ALL backfire when you roll off the throttle unless you jet them very rich which isnt good for performance or economy. Some mufflers with an internal baffle have a smaller hole straight through the baffle....these will still "pop" and backfire on deceleration or shut down but not as bad as an open pipe.
Kudos to Dave for posting the S&S You Tube video.....it tells you all you need to know about jetting carbs and open mufflers/pipes.
Just in case you missed it - here it is again...............
