the hot side of the horn button or similar electrical system would be ideal.

good luck, and thanks t-g for letting me steal the limelight.

This is why I come to this site all the time, the guys (and girls) are always willing to help and they always have answers, Thanks Whitey and TG

the plugs i put in had the same number plus an H at the end. i dont have a cat anymore so i thought it was that. the flames are cool but i know its running rich. its a little hard to start at times (takes more cranking than usual). could it be a vac hose?

TG!! good to see ya homey.

and ya.. lean is mean..

leeeaaann is meeaaan. wipes ring out wit a quickness.

wildacex187 · 07-02-2009, 11:41 PM

lean makes it shoot fire? i thought when fire came out exhaust it was from unburnt fuel igniting in the exhaust? i'll try running a map off the dynojet website and see if that helps. thanx

any abnormal running condition renders abnormal shit like that..lol

it deals as well with EGT's reaching a staggering number. EGT (exhaust gas temperature) operates on a bellcurve with respect to AFR.lets say you're at 1500*F.. that can be lean OR rich. there comes a point to where the peak efficient EGT is exceeded with a lean or rich condition.. goes the other way too.. you'll see them drop off due to slobbery rich AFR or stupid lean ones.. both EGT drops are due to lack of combustion efficiency. rich is just simply too much fuel and lean is not enough...

could be a few things at this point.. being i cant see or smell it and TG cant hook up a gas analyzer we're stuck guessing..lol

what kinda throttle response and all are you getting? whats the exhaust look like under load? gray? black? can't see it at all? bike runnin hot? stumbles when hot/cold?

wildacex187 · 07-03-2009, 01:06 AM

stationary i could rev the bike to 10k rpm or so and let go of the throttle. the first few times it wont do it but after 3 or 4 times flames will shoot out. bike has been running same as always. tomorrow i'll put back the fairings and take her for a ride and see if it does it while revving but i dont think it will its when the revs come down that it does it.

also theres no smoke or anything coming out. first couple of revs u'll hear the popping then a few more flames. hope that makes sense lol

whitehendrix · 07-03-2009, 01:17 AM

sounds like you're simply loading the cylinders... the bike can't tell whether it's under load or not.. therefore it dumps a preprogrammed amount of fuel in each cylinder anticipating a load to be placed. when no load is present, less fuel is used, resulting in "loading".. it's on a more moinor scale than race motors or top-fuel dragsters and all, but nonetheless, thats what it sounds like to me.. you're just kinda wasting fuel at that point..lol

lean will pop like a motherfucker. had a CFR 450 i just fixed up and tuned that did that shit. threw 1 foot flames and sounded like fuckin fireworks goin off in the shop..lol thats a big bore too, alot of air and fuel goin in and out fast. got the shit dialed in and it was dead quiet on decel and accel and no-load rev, except for the loud ass FMF pipe.. that bike is a goddamn monster too..lol 5th gear roll-on wheelies FTW.

wildacex187 · 07-03-2009, 02:03 AM

so if it doesnt do it the first time i rev it up and let it rev down then its just "loading" like u said? thats a relief. i dont mind about the fuel. bike has been down for over a month and im itching to get here out. its 2am and im going into my friends shop at 8 to finish everything by 1pm, go home and shower then go to work till 11pm JUST cuz i want my bike back
