Since you didn't remove the pipes, gaskets shouldn't be a problem. If you did remove them to work on the pipes, you needed to replace the gaskets. If these aren't seated properly the pipes will suck in cold air causing a screwed up air/fuel mixture.
You may end up having to rejet the carb to get the air/fuel back into specs and stop the backfiring.
I'm pretty ignorant of the 800, but am learning.

- March 22, 2010, 16:28:26 PMPretty much standard with this type of mod, problem is either the smog stuff or the gaskets from the pipe to the head. You have two options on the smog stuff, http://www.gadgetjq.com/smogstuffremove.htm or http://www.gadgetjq.com/rv_removal.htm. I used the Coasters method. If its the gaskets, well new ones, some guys use the Harley ones, don't have the number right now but the ones from Kaw always seem to work for me.. Pop gone

Thanks in advance
