    Flame on!!!

    I havnt rode much at night. Well last night i went for a rip. Noticed on decel a little popping on 2&3, with flame! Looked cool as hell but needs to stop.. Just recently put in a dyna ignition and me thinks 2&3 are out of time just a bit perhaps. Thoughts?

    Probably an exhaust leak. Get it all leak free before you start adjusting anything.

      Flames are not a good sign, Mark. That's raw fuel igniting in your pipes so yes, it's a probably a valve issue of some sort...clearances and timing would be the front runners.

        I did shim prior to the new dyna ignition. I will check the timing.

              i thought they were mutually exclusive (open OR baffled).

                You got me, no they are not open. And on another not, adjusted the timing now no more flames.
