    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

have balanced carbs all are equal,keeps backfiring after shutdown,has kn individual filters,rejetted to 122 jets,new plugs
any ideas why it is back firing?thanks
 
backfire is after shutting down the throttle not killing the ignition cheers
 
Backfiring after deccel while riding? Sounds like you need to bring out the idle mixture screws a bit and maybe up the pilot jet.
Does it have any hesitation on throttle roll on?
 
no hesitation on throttle,but have just checked plugs,1,3 and 4 are a black sooty color and 2 is a sandy color,will turn out the screws tomorrow,thanks
 
Don't come out on the screws if you are black and sooty. That is a rich condition. By the way what year model is this?
 
don't know the model of bike,as i only bought the engine(gs850) and loom and built a trike with it but the year of registration was december 1985,if thats any help
if running too rich how do i sort this problem out,cheers
