Davidmo3 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Was just riding home and noticed people staring at at the bike from their cars, I looked down and there was big flames coming out the exhaust, every time I was stopping huge flames were coming out the exhausts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 That's not good! did it stop once you turned bike off?could just be overfueling, could be a lot worse things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoggs Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 should have hung some marshmallows off the rear seat you were playing with the mix screw the other day though right? sounds a likely suspect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well I think that pretty much confirms what has been suggested on here in various other threads - it's got to be running way too rich for that to happen.Impressive, but hardly economical or good for the engine. The fuel will be washing oil off the bores so engine wear will go through the roof.Plus - Mr Plod may take a dim view of you riding a mobile flamethrower. I remember a severe talking to with a tuned Celica which had a side exhaust that spat flames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mawsley Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Do not do a thing, and you should treat this as a matter of urgency, do not do a thing until you've filmed it and uploaded that here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidmo3 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Flames from my exhaust cost me a fortune!!Be greatful you got them for free.. But it's actually big flames continuously from the lower exhaust when I stop, it's not spitting it's like the bike is on fire, but it only happens when I come to a stop and the only way to get the flames out is to turn the engine off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
