normal backfire
 

This morning on the way to work my bike was backfiring most of the way as i slowed down & eased of the noise maker.

Is this probably because i did not warm the enging up enough at home.

I only left it on choke for about 2-3mins before i set off.

yeah i've had it happen many times... certainly gets a few looks :lol:

are you talking about a full on backfire - or just a popping as you come off the throttle? Mine used to do the latter a lot (especially in colder weather) i used to love it :twisted:

Popping, that all.

nothing to worry about there then - just enjoy it ;)

Mine does it in cold weather, generally when it's damp as well and it starts to get carb icing...

if i had the time every day i would make it do it all day then wen it stopped get off cool it off and do it again :P :twisted: im so sad sometimes

Not really a backfire to similar.
 

This months RiDE magazine has an article where someone has added a switch to the handlebars that when activated tranfers the spark from the cylinders to additional plugs fitted into the end of the tailpipes, thus igniting the unburnt gasses in a huge flameout.

They imply that this is a new idea, but I am sure that I had heard a similar story (perhaps Urban Myth) years ago when someone had fitted a fuel pipe to the exhaust to form an afterburner. Anyone elso heard this?

I read that article, new or old, what a winner! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Insurance implications?!

I'd be worried about adding a fuel pipe though! :shock:

lots of boy racer nutters have a sparkunit in the tail pipes on turbos some even have in injector inlet to it :roll:
dunno why on 21 psi boost at 70 in second mine used to do it standard when changing to third :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
