Title: backfire when i shut off the engine
Post by: jason.andrew on October 25, 2011, 14:26:38 PM
So this could possibly be an easy fix, and i hope so, but i just dont know.

Everytime i shut off my bike after riding a while i get a small backfire from my top exaust pipe. Like a burp.

Also, some mornings i have grey smoke coming out of the top pipe as well, but not the bottom. after running the engine for a minute it stops. I am writing this from work so i am not sure exactly which pipe this leads back to, but i figure maybe one of you have had this issue and know what i can do to fix this. I am about to ride 400 miles to cleveland to store my bike for the winter and want a smooth trip home...

Thanks guys!

Possible leaking injector. Run some sea foam through it and see what happens

Aftermarket pipes and/or air box?  Won't hurt to do as Troll suggested... might be that simple.
