Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
Shot a quick, really bad video trying to show the problem. My son kept pointing out my bike was "broken", and when it backfired, my wife chimes in

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
No rebuild kit. I'm "broke" too.

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
The backfire "blue flame" and that last little spit your bike makes on the video sounds like it could be your valves you are having trouble with, but the only problem I have with that is it seems to be running awfully good when you first start it, but Have you checked the valves?
Later :skull:

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
Wait a minute, it runs fine in neutral then does that when you put it in gear? or did I miss understand you?

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
Maybe I missed it, but have you changed the oil and is it maybe too full?

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
I haven't changed the oil yet. It doesn't look too full. Would I have been able to ride it for so long without an issue if that was the case? I rode the bike about 250 miles before it did this.
A week from tomorrow a friend of mine who used to build race cars is going to help me clean out the carb. I'm really hoping that will do it. BTW, thanks SO much for all of the help thus far .

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
I have another thought :skull: . When you shift into first and it bogs down like that, it could be possible (I don't think this is it, but a Possibility) that the safety switch that kills your bike when you shift into gear with the kick stand down, maybe still half way trying to kill your bike even though it shouldn't be (like a short or something), Just a thought. But I still think you should check your valves and your fuel/air first, but if those don't fix it for some reason this could maybe be a possibility.
Later :bang:
