Re: flames outta tail pipe

does it do it when you're W.O.T. or when you're letting off. if it does it when you let off you are running rich if it does it wide open then you are running lean and thats really bad. what year/make/model bike is it? carb. or fi? post or pm back and i'll give some more troubleshooting advice

It's raw fuel getting igniting in the tail pipe. It's always happened, you just started noticing it now.

Mine does it at night time , but ive seen tons of bikes do it at night when you run to red line and let off , my doesnt smoke but a lil blue flame will pop out for a split second when its engine braking from redline,during day light it doesnt do **** though.

Re: flames outta tail pipe

My bro had a Blue Flame exhaust on his GSXR1000. We thought that was a part of the effect. It was an added bonus of the exhaust. Custom! haha! Anyway, he got his bike dyno tuned and it helped a lot. It still does it but not nearly as bad as it did.

It does the same thing during the day... you just can't see it.
