Default Re: well something was wrong

On my last dealer service, they managed to forget to put the PAIR tube back on the front cylinder. Every now and then I'd get a backfire like a shotgun going off, loud enough to leap me out of the seat, even at motorways speeds.

Unfortunately it was fairly random. If I could do it at will, I'd be tempted not to put it back on

I can do this on mine, by accelerating to 34 in 3rd and then rolling off. Bangs everytime. Makes boring town traffic more fun.

it was cool, but like DB said was annoying, all the way home every time you let off the gas just let out a stream of bangs with flames
