Title: Is it OK to shut down this way to avoid backfire? Post by Mattdw on 08/08/11 at 08:00:06 I haven't played much with the carb to remove the backfire but I had a '96 with the same backfire as my '07... Anyway, pull in the clutch, come to a full stop in first gear. Hold the front brake, slowly let out the clutch and let the engine die. I never get a backfire. I wouldn't think this is too hard on an engine... What do you guys think? |

Sometimes I actually like the backfire, just for fun...but, if I've come home at 10 or 11pm...I kinda like to keep it on the down-low, ya know? ;) |

This has the motor stopping almost immediately when the key is moved to "off." The one guy I overheard recommending this technique said he would leave it in second gear when he would do this because on his particular bike, he could get it into neutral much easier than trying to find neutral from first gear. YMMV I wonder what would happen if, on a RYCA CS-1 set up with a manual decompression system, you simultaneously decompressed and shut off the ignition? |

There's a mod to the pre 95's that does this automatically to prevent spin back of the engine which can wreck the starter gears. |

No that would be like just turning it off. |
