Default Backfire!

I understand that there's an "easy" modification that can be made that will get the S40, which is prone to backfire, to stop backfiring. The descriptions of how to do it that I've seen so far have been well above my head, so I'm not likely to attempt it anytime soon (unless it really is easy and I just haven't met a user-friendly description on how to do this).

So... do backfires damage anything? My S40 backfires frequently enough that I'm begining to become a little concerned about it. If not, it's not something I can't live with.
