Backfire ?????

alb4099 · 05-27-2007

I've been riding my bike for a couple of weeks now and she's been runnig perfect, so yesterday I get out of work, I go to start her and BOOOOM !!! very loud backfire, so I waited a minute to try again and it started right up with no problems. I went home and a few hours later took her back out again no problems. So my question is this why did it backfire ?? any imput I'm just wondering what that was, she is running fine again, anybody knows.... Thanks !!!!

Maybe more gas than usual in the cylinders when you fired it up? Possibly you open the throttle before starting it?

High probability on craking the throttle. I've learned, the loud way, that cracking the throttle on a Fi bike can lead to very loud, and rude noises. I've turned on the ignition, twisted the throttle then hit the starter button in the garage at work once and in the garage at home once. I learned. It's amazing how fast cats can run out of the garage....
