#151583 dcoley (User) DC Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Backfire when starting off in 1.st gear 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Today I went out on the bike for a while,wheneverI would pull off from the light in 1.st gear the bike would backfire at first. It did this until I upped the idle a bit. If the idle is too low will it cause the backfire? or did it just stop for some other reason ?   Logged     DColey   The administrator has disabled public write access. #151597 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Backfire when starting off in 1.st gear 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Hard to say, we all tend to set our idle to low because we want that thump or loping sound, they should be set around 900 rpms. It will feel like it is a little high, but it is better for the bike.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #151601 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Backfire when starting off in 1.st gear 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Was it doing it before the bike got warmed up all the way?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #151605 dcoley (User) DC Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Backfire when starting off in 1.st gear 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Yes,but not at every light.   Logged     DColey   The administrator has disabled public write access. #151610 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Backfire when starting off in 1.st gear 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Don't do any adjustments to the bike until it's at full operating temp. Until these bikes are all warmed up they're cranky.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #151615 stinger (User) Hey y'all...watch this! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1387 Re:Backfire when starting off in 1.st gear 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Mine seems to be especially cranky if it's cold & it's been sitting for a week or so. These things don't like to sit, they wanna' GO!   Logged     http://s671.photobucket.com/home/jhurdle/index   The administrator has disabled public write access. #151627 dcoley (User) DC Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Backfire when starting off in 1.st gear 3 Years, 1 Month ago   Thanks! fellas   Logged     DColey   The administrator has disabled public write access.
