i just bought my bike a day ago very nice bike i really seem to like i have never had a v twin before is it normal for a backfiring noise when i rev it up.. any basic info would be great... i also need a rear tire any suggestions

 

You will find plenty of posted info------------------and Hello

 

Common to have afterfire out of modded or aftermarket pipes when rolling off throttle. Afterfire is unburnt fuel exploding in pipes. Backfiire comes back up through carbs and is a sign of problems. Afterfire is common on these bikes and i do not believe poses any risks. Have read that pair removal cures this. Personally i like the back popping when coasting down a hill.

 

Couple of things to consider:
1. Is the PAIR removed? Search site for PAIR removal mod.
2. Are your carbs sycn'd? Again, search for carb sync.

Removing/adjusting these items will eliminate the backfiring.

Good luck.

 

Thanks for all your help getting the carbs synced at honda for 99.95 thanks
