That is exactly what I thought, I figured these bikes were suppose to run rich. When I first posed the question, I was also wondering how common this is. I have only had this bike for a few months now, and my old bike never really backfired, but then again it wasn't a SS either. Thanks

 

I've never had a flame or backfire come from my exhaust (I've run three different aftermarket pipes).

 

Hey Aken, what about a backfire with your stock exhaust?

 

If your bike has been sitting for awhile, like over the winter and you start it up and rap the exhaust hard, almost a majority of bikes will backfire.

 

I ride my bike everyday.... still backfires everday not too big of a conern but i think i am going to lean out the mixure when i get a wideband in

 

Alright, that helps guys. I appreciate everything.

 

Couldn't tell you, I purchased my bike used already with an aftermarket pipe.
