Ok guys guys, so heres the deal. 02 le black, kn filter, pc3r, yosh rs3 slipons... so now the fun part. lately i have been noticing a few baclfires, nothing realy loud, just a few pops, and my buddies say the coolest blue flames come out of my exhaust when it happens. i have heard that people have had their motors damaged from backfires. How?? what exactly does it break?? i understand that the pair valve introduces air into the exhaust to dilute emissions, and if i'm running a little rich, it allows enough o2 into the exhaust to allow any unburned fuel vapor to ignite (ie the backfire) but if i dont remove the valve, will it hurt anything?? if so what? i know that i will drop a few pounds by taking it off, but if i dont need to immediately i may wait til winter. also, when someone puts glasspacks on a truck for instance, the load popping heard under decelleration is backfiring, just not big ones, and as far as i know they arent harmful, so why would it hurt the bike?? ok, last question, if i'm running rich enough to cause a backfire, but only under decelleration, then is it too rich all the time, or only when the cylinder fires late cause i'm not on the throttle hard?? thanks in advance guys
