Title: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: dreth on November 07, 2004, 05:06:08 PM my 450r is sometimes backfiring on the decel......new sparks exhaust, sparks filter, 190 main........runs strong though?
Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: Ida_Mann on November 08, 2004, 07:21:30 AM I used to call that my "warning" to the other riders behind me that there was a turn coming up ;-)
of course, that was on my LT230 Quadsport. Id@ Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: DierWolf on November 08, 2004, 09:47:44 AM Backfiring is usually caused by fowling plug or excessive gas, might be funning too rich with the 190 mains.
Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: TRX450R_Racer on November 08, 2004, 04:08:09 PM I have heard of a lot of people with that problem. It is very common. Check out this site www.trx450r.org. It is the best 450R site on the net. There is a lot of good/usefull information there.

Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: SLOW450R on November 10, 2004, 08:43:04 AM need to make a pilot jet adjustment...........I assume you are running the stock one? The jets are cheap and you and you can go up 1 or two sizes to fix the problem. If it is poping now, it is only going to do it more once it gets a little cooler. You are auctually a little lean on deceleration, which people really dont think about alot.
When you come down off the main jet there is a gap before the pilot jet can supply enough fuel, the result is a backfire or a "pop" more likely. A little bigger pilot jet will make this transition and fix the popping issue.

RACING on November 10, 2004, 04:48:23 PM Your needle might be fine, he is talking about the pilot jet, it and the needle combined controls 90% of the fuel metering in a carb. you probably need to go up on your pilot jet a size or two.

I picked up the Jet4power kit and found that even at a 48 pilot I was still a touch lean, got the 50 and waiting to install it.I hate Moving Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: dreth on December 06, 2004, 05:49:51 AM bump
Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: ATOMCRF450 on December 06, 2004, 06:36:58 AM Your pipe is prob loose or has a air leak..I know that will cause it to pop on decel every time.
Mine had the same problem I was trying to correct it with the jetting at first, then noticed the pipe was just a little loose and that fixed it right up. Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: big-daddy on December 07, 2004, 07:55:03 AM Are still have the problem?
Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: Hoosier Daddy on December 07, 2004, 08:58:15 AM buy a 2 stroke! ;D
Title: Re: BACK FIRE ON DECEL Post by: big-daddy on December 07, 2004, 07:25:49 PM both anotherslow400ex and A.T.P racing are correct right the problem is in size of the pilot jet. Engine performance worsens when the air filter is removed.
