jamienash1985 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Just curious if anyone knows why my bike shoots flames when i rev at idle but only one cylinder. Other cylinder idles nice. Sounds good. Flame side doesn't idle quite as nice. Right side shoots flames. Not big ones. Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfrjag Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Lean... Air leak likely or improper jetting or clogged pilot jet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamienash1985 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Carbs or air leakI'm thinking carbs maybe. I haven't done A leak down test yet to be honest. But bike was running like complete shit. I pulled the carbs off and cleaned them. Put back together and it ran great. It still runs OK once at op temp but still runs better on one side than the other. Is it normal to have more pressure from exhaust on one side than the other. One side seems to run perfectly. No so much the other side. And when I run full tilt for 10 seconds and let off the throttle the rpms stay up for some reason. She don't wanna stop. Could that have anything to possibly do with bad plug caps? Maybe the plugs are too hot? I'm running br8es ngk plugs. Maybe different plugs may help?

jamienash1985 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Previosly owned by low ridin', ghetto slamin' foo ?The guy I bought it from said he spent over $10,000 on this bike. Not much is stock on it. He was sorta a friend of the family. He makes good money and don't think he's a liar. But he isn't the guy who built it. He pays someone. I like trying myself. I got the bike for $2000. It's been in his barn for 2 years ran maybe 2 or 3 times a year. He said I should try down jetting it a little. He told me its set up to foul plugs instead of burning pistons. Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 yep, one of these times it will rev to the moon, and if you aren't quick, it will melt or blow up before you get it in gear, holding brake and stall it out I'll vote for leak test too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motooutcastxxx Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Leakdown test for sure!! I definitely wouldn't be riding it anymore until you get it sorted out. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=110585 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
