    UFO 4-1 dragstar

    Maybe it should be called Loudstar. The system is awesome. Spoke with Jon on monday morning, and I had the pipes this afternoon. Jet hot coating and polished stainless parts are amazing. It took a bit of finessing to piece all the parts together to get the desired endstate, but all in all...

    factory clamp seals

    Well, I've had problems with just about every part of my bike, and thanks to the forum here, I have rectified all of them, except the exhaust. I have serious exhaust gas coming from the left rear cylinder where the pipe joins the block. After careful observation (and exhaust gas inhalation)...

    seafoam

    I used the entire can. Combination of that, checking the slides, and numerous other tips I read about here has eliminated my problem. Now if I could just fix the exhaust...... Thanks to all, and to seafoam. chris

    seafoam

    Got some seafoam to attempt and fix the backfiring issue. After searching and much reading the posts, I am reading different methods on how much to use, where to pour it, etc. What is the recommended use? 1/3 of a can in the tank? Entire can in the tank? Some in the carbs? Wanting to soak...

    4, No stabilizer was used, as I rode fairly often. Last weekend there were no issues....so I decided it probably isnt the gas. How can I determine if there is water in the line? Any correlation to the unexpected smoking exhaust?

    damn $%!!!

    Okay, Here are the symptoms... 1. Bike ran for about 4 minutes on the road, then started backfiring loudly. This may or may not have happened after I turned on my tboost, but then continued after I switched it off while riding. Speed was initially 25-30, then I upped it to about 60. It...

    Monster Gauges

    I have the monster tach/oil press gauge/drag specialities speedo combo. I love it, and would recommend this setup to anyone who is frustrated with the factory tach setup. It only took a few weeks for the gauges to arrive, and the stock speedo cable/stainless aftermarket does work with no...

    what to do now...

    Backfiring/popping stopped altogether. I did notice, however, that starting from a dead stop in 1st, the engine stumbles a bit, and I even stalled it at a stoplight. Once running in 1st gear, the engine hesitates very slightly, but then kicks in like a vboost once more throttle is applied...

    what to do now...

    Roger, the diaphragms looked good. I dont understand what caused this backfiring suddenly though. I'll get the jet info when I get back from the road. Thanks for the reply. Chris
