My savage does it every switch off, every deceleration, and every gear change.................love it....................but that doesn't help you does it! :) Title: Re: HELP NEEDED 1100CC VIRAGO Post by: scannerzer on April 14, 2014, 08:48:33 PM with our savages it's an adjustment thats needed to the carb so i'd guess thats much the same for any bike,i have an 100 shadow with sotgun pipes on it and i backfires a lot too so i'm guessing the carbs need set to suit the exhausts. is you bike standard or mod'ed
anyway all the best with it and safe riding ps any pics :) Title: Re: HELP NEEDED 1100CC VIRAGO Post by: Manky Monkey on April 14, 2014, 09:09:56 PM Back-firing on the over run's usually a sign of a leaking exhaust isn't it? (air being drawn in when the exhaust gases slow).
