Farting

Post by METALDAN »

Old bike is farting good and proper on over run now, and sometimes when idling, seems to be from the left pipe as seen from behind.

I'm thinking carb balance, anyone any ideas?
Put me in an empty room with a brick and i'll either break it, lose it or hurt myself on it!!!

A carb balance is a good idea anyway especially if it's not been done for a while. Then you can cross that off the list.

You may have an exhaust gasket joint blown, if it has it will be drawing in air on the overrun causing the symptoms you describe. Check all the joints including the one going through the swingarm to see if you can feel any exhaust pulses hitting your hand.

HTH,

Chris.
