San Antonio, TX | Backfires. I have some from time to time. I am running a 2008 Vision with S1L2 exhaust and map.
My only question is "Does the occasional backfire cause any real damage to the engine?"
Some days I do not have any pops at all but if the engine temp and outdoor temp is just right I get a few.
I am thinking "So what?" I ride a motorcycle not a Rolls Royce.
One of my coworkers rides a 1971 BSA Rat Chopper. I have never heard him say "Man, I need to eliminate any backfires from BSA Lightning engine." Nope....he just kicks it off and we ride away. |

| backfires and popping are 2 very different things.. I am hoping you are not having back firing, that would be a issue. popping? no problem |

High Ridge, Mo. | After my "cam/fuel controller/intake/exhaust job" I had some serious popping. Then LLoydz came out with the air valve. I had the dealer order it and stick 'er in. What a difference. Took out about 95% of the racket. |

Billings, MT | I agree on this one! Made my own exhaust, put a S1L2 program in the computer, Lloyds air valve and secondary intake. About 98% of popping is now gone!!!!!!!!!!! |
