We've had a pretty mean and LOUD backfire on the S40, when shifting down from 5th. to 4th. or 4th. to 3rd. gear since we got the scoot. Took it in today to the dealer to have some, Mods done that Factory Suzuki says will at least "calm down" the loudness of the backfire. It doesn't effect the way the bike runs and the Service Mgr. told me it won't damage the motor. Still, LOL, when your riding with a bunch of "straight piped Harley's" and they "notice" when it backfires, you KNOW it's LOUD! ;)
Mostly carb adjustments and a different "spring" on the carb, I beleive to shut the carb down a bit faster, tighting of all the exhaust and muffler bolts, ect. If not, no biggie, I guess we will just "wake up" all the zoned out cagers when we down shift, LOL!
