hey guys zane back here with gear
sustain and today we're going to talk
about why your bike
may be backfiring now a couple key
components here that we want to talk
about
beforehand before you diagnose or before
you have any ideas why it could be
backfiring like i showed you in the
previous clip
before this bike is a 2015 fz07
and it's fuel injected fuel-injected
diagnosis is going to be a lot different
than a carburetor
diagnosis but the concepts are the same
all we're dealing with here are fuel to
air ratios
the reason your bike is backfiring is
you either have too much fuel
and not enough air or too much air not
enough fuel so
if it's a bike with a computer chip like
this one you're gonna have to bring it
in
to a shop to get it tuned um my bike has
an aftermarket exhaust on it that's why
it backfires
it has a lot more airflow going into the
combustion chamber the
the cylinder um and that's why it
backfires and shoots flames
um on a carbureted bike you can go in
and you can play with
the the air-to-fuel ratio screw they
have one on the carburetor
um this bike i got to get a high flow
air filter for it and then i'm going to
bring it into the shop and get it tuned
so i can properly get the air to fuel
ratios locked down
