Kris you crack me up...Good Laughs.

On another note, I came across this... hopefully is something we can all use. I stopped to see my MOTO mentor, an older gentleman, who gave this manual.

Is for the older Savage models, but I think I can learn quite a bit from it.
Since you guys know more, let me know if it will be useful to scan some of these pages.

Now I have to go find that turn signal I popped, and read other posts.

That looks like a genuine factory manual, that is probably worth it's weight in gold.

Since the Savage/LS650/S40 haven't changed that much over the years that manual is really good to have. You can always verify with the guys on here anything that you consider working on, and I do believe there are online manuals for the S40. Possibly there is an online manual here on the website. Under "Technical Documents" you will be able to verify what you find in your service manual.

I want to say is over 80 pages for sure. There are no pages numbers, basically there are sections and they all seem complete. Along with 2 supplementary manuals for the 95 and 87 models

I like the pop! Wink

You're running a little too lean. Factory bikes are built this way to defeat emissions laws. The engine actually burns cleaner when lean. You can rejet the carburetor to run richer and the bike will run better. The pop is a result of being lean. It's normal.

There's several threads about rejetting the carb. Do a search in the Tech section. Wink

The "POP" you describe is happening when you "chop" the throttle. (i.e. reduce throttle too quickly) Learn to reduce throttle a bit slower = less or no "POP". (Conversely, the neighbor's Rottweiler quit trying to chase me when I chopped the throttle from full twist just as he had his big nose right behind the muffler. Roll Eyes

Like Kris01 said it's not really an issue, especially if your bike is completely stock. Some guys have tinkered with the carb with varying degrees of success, but if your bike runs ok otherwise you really don't need to do anything. If you roll off the throttle slowly and don't let it completely close when you slow down and downshift it helps.

The previous owner did say he adjusted the carb (I'll contact him and get the exact numbers) and also drill something out of the muffler. I'll take pictures and get the cab settings this coming week.

you gain 1 thing when drilling out the muffler: noise
the bike won't go faster, it'll just sound different
If you want it to sound really nice, and maybe pick up 1-3 HP(if you're lucky) , put a Dyna muff on it, and take the time to jet the carb, but really on a bike with 30HP stock, you won't get a noticeable boost in power without doing more than a loud exhaust, it's not a 70s smog mobile chevy with a 'log' exhaust manifold and super restrictive mufflers
