Is it OK to shut down this way to avoid backfire?
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?

I think it's okay,...
...but, without the backfire, can you ever be sure it's shut down?...

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?

I've heard of some folks doing something very similar to your technique:
Come to a stop, leave it in any gear, let out the clutch to where it just starts to drag, then shut off the bike. 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?

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

You can always pull the choke out halfway then shut the bike off to help reduce backfires. Most of the time just adjusting the air/fuel mixture takes care of the shutdown backfires.

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.

Wouldn't it do the exact same thing if you kept the clutch in and put the side stand down while in gear?

My ride is a 2005 LS650, customized with ISO grips, cone air filter, stage 1 jets, Jardine exhaust, solo seat, AM turn sigs, and a catseye tail light. Next year, custom paint job (hopefully)!

Personally I like the shutdown backfire. I noticed, after all these years, it shoots a blue flame about 1 foot out the muffler. Kool.

No that would be like just turning it off.
