normal backfire - SV650.org

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

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

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...

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!

Insurance implications?!

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

lots of boy racer nutters have a sparkunit in the tail pipes on turbos some even have in injector inlet to it
