#76003 brashears (User) Hillbilly to the bone... Senior Boarder Posts: 206 Rev Question 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Hey guys, Quick question about my new jet/BAK setup. The bike runs great now that I've pretty much got it dialed in. I do have one issue that I wanted to see if anyone else has experience and might have some advice on. When I pop the throttle on the bike at idle it wants to stutter or backfire through the carb like it's suddenly choked out instead of rev. It only happens from idle. Is this a Pilot jet issue? I'm running the stock Pilot jet currently. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. See my profile for mods and jet settings. thanks!   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/04/11 09:49 By brashears.   Parts Pro Performance Centers & Total Truck Centers Director of Marketing www.partspro.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #76005 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Rev Question 4 Years, 1 Month ago   That's called blipping and roadies don't like that. The leaner you jet the less they like it. You can try turning your accel screw in a little at a time and see if it helps.

Some guys adjust the accelerator pump down some with good results......I just lay off the blipping and mines fine. Hard habit to break though.

Good to know that it's normal. I'll just have to learn to be a better owner. I sure do like the sound of that sudden blast of decibels it produces. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with the ROAR as I pull away from traffic at the greenlight.   Logged     Parts Pro Performance Centers & Total Truck Centers Director of Marketing www.partspro.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #76012 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Rev Question 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Mine doesn't mind the blipping a bit,, but I have a different carb on it, doesn't have the diaphram or the butterfly, Seems like the throttle is connected directly to the slide..I like it a lot..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #76053 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Rev Question 4 Years, 1 Month ago   brashears wrote: When I pop the throttle on the bike at idle it wants to stutter or backfire through the carb like it's suddenly choked out instead of rev. It only happens from idle. Just to clarify .... are you blipping the throttle or are you cranking the throttle .... and it chokes out. If the later then you should try turning the accelerator screw in 1 turn and see if it improves. You may be getting either too much or too little gas.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4364 Re:Rev Question 4 Years, 1 Month ago   My carb backfire came back a little with my recent jet change. I ended up going in 2 turns on the accel. screw and its gone.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #76086 brashears (User) Hillbilly to the bone...

Doc Hey Doc, It's only when I blip it, if I actually rev it it catches up and runs fine. Think it's just a dirty little habit that I'm gonna have to quit doin'...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/04/11 13:22 By brashears.   Parts Pro Performance Centers & Total Truck Centers Director of Marketing www.partspro.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #76088 brashears (User) Hillbilly to the bone...

Next time I'm tinkering with the filter off I'll turn the pump in a turn and see if it improves.   Logged     Parts Pro Performance Centers & Total Truck Centers Director of Marketing www.partspro.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #76156 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Rev Question 4 Years, 1 Month ago   I had ot learn to stop doing it myself.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access.
