Suzuki mechanic?

[Sparx]

Are there any on the forums? I have a question about a 2001, 650 Savage.

Well, I wrench on my 650 Suzuki from time to time, and am working hard on my GooglePro certification, whats the question?

I understand the single lung 650 savage has an inherent problem with backfiring and rough takeoffs. I also understand there is a carburetor fix or adjustment to solve this.
Question is: What, how, and is it something that someone with some mechanical aptitude can fix without special tools or other equipment?
If it's important, it's a 2001 with 11K miles.

Try finding a motorcycle forum, those guys can be very helpful too. And some have parts laying around.

No problem, I cant count the number of times I have been helped or found information out there for myself, so paying it back is a hobby
