I have a 1997 Suzuki Savage LS650. It backfires on deceleration. I have read much on this and I did try the fix I read on this forum (remove the white spacer). While the bike seems to run better after this mod It still backfires. I thought it was backfiring less but I'm not so sure. While it's not really a big problem (and I can prevent it sometimes with a more gradual slowdown), it is annoying at times. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks for any help.
