Backfiring
11/19/08 at 10:51:14

i rode for the first time since my k&n install today. now when deccelerating i dont hear any backfiring anymore when i did in the same temps before pretty often. but now the only time i hear a backfire is when i shut the bike off. i never heard this before at least it wasnt too noticeable. what could be my problem if i have any? i am going to rejet as soon as they get delivered does anyone have any suggestions for jet sizes?
i have a 87 savage with a dyna exhaust and k&n intake

Sounds to me like you got the jets right already.

The back fire issue was probably solved with the muff. and caused either by a leaky header gasket, muffler seal or perforated muff.

Now you just have the shutdown boom. Turn the pilot screw out a 1/4 turn (3 turns out max) till it goes away. At 3 turns, go up a size in the pilot jet and start over again.

Posts: 28651 Tucson Az Gender:	Re: Backfiring Reply #7 - 11/19/08 at 22:49:18 Too rich can cause a backfire (afterfire) too... If you can...try a ride up a mountain or a ride on a humid day...if afterfires increase you're too rich...if they decrease you're too lean...
