Backfire

[Rod69]

Just recently during a ride while the bike is hot and you stop for gas, lunch, or whatever it will backfire when I start it back up. Now it won't do this all the time just every so often. Have 2009 Triglide with 40,000 plus on it. Would it have anything to do with the timing?:gah:

Rod....it could be a glitch in the ignition system.....timing etc......Have you checked your plugs lately...I would also give a retorque to the all of the exhaust bolts, before you spend bukoo bucks at the dealer. One more thing...check your battery terminal connections and tightness!

Are you using any sort of tuning device? Sometimes when there is a touch too much cranking fuel and the ignition timing just right it can cause a back fire through the exhaust under certain circumstances.

Are you using a good grade of gas.

 

[americanbadass]

I doubt it is the gas, the problem would be consistent all the time if it were.

 

[Lakeman]

If poor gas then then carbon, temp, humidity and altitude all become more critical.

Thanks guys I check everything. I did have it tuned over a year ago with the Screamin Eagle Super Tuner, but this didn't start till about a month ago. I also started using Startron last year.

Put new plugs in and checked all the bolts and battery. Road 160 miles Saturday to Terre Haute and then back into Illinois along the Wabash River. Trike ran really good and only backfired three times. It's really fun dodging the water from the irrigation systems going over the country roads and evading the deer and landed some really good Catfish and Fried Chicken at the Siver Moon in West Union.
