Have a full Vance and Hines exhaust on my 2000 sv650 and am getting a lot of backfiring - particularly when slowing down around 20mph. Local mechanic says it is no prob and the carb was purported to have been rejetted by the last owner. Any advise?

do it to much and your carbs start going out of balance.

really ?

Mine did.. but I also rode the bike rather hard.. so that didn't help...

I think I back fired mine a few times a week at one point... sometimes everyday... ride/drive up my **** will you...

Not soo much Backfiring i.e. Popping (intentional), but the rumbling of the exhaust when closing the throttle, any ideas as to what problems this can cause on an FI SV? :?

My Viper has a bit of a rumble to it (specially when I made it High Level! :twisted: ) , just a little concerned of the long term effects????

Normally means your running a bit rich.. probably due to the can change... might want to get it 're-mapped'.. I think thats right... I have carb'd bike so I'm not really sure.

Running Rich - Just meaning using a tad more fuel? :roll:

Means the fuel/air mix is wrong.. namely that your getting to much fuel and what is left is being dump out the back of you bike... being burning off on the way out. Thus 'BANG'.... :D

I just removed my modification to my K3 that stopped it doing just that. (Block the pipe from the T junction going to the airbox on the air-injector).

Nice crackle on decel. :)
