Backfiring a bike on purpose

[lllN30lll]

i've become obsessed at flicking the engine kill off for a sec then on again causing a really loud backfire and huge flames from the zorst.

but what damage will it end up doing to the bike?

i can't help but point my left hand at somebody then backfiring the bike, hilarious how high people jump

Just make the exhaust leak and possibly damage the valves.

Right right explain how you do this.

So say im riding along at 30 and hit my killswitch then turn it back on with the kill switch my bike will back fire

it's not the speed that affects the backfire it's the rpm, i normally go up to about 10k, flick the engine off for a second, then flick the engine kill back on, normally you'll get a huge backfire and large flame. depends on the rpm and duration you leave the engine turned off

You would get a better response whilst filtering through traffic stuck at lights

Usually doesn't work on injected bikes, by the way - as they stop injecting fuel into the engine when you hit the kill switch.

It is a pointless, silly, juvenile thing to do.
Probably why i love them.

You get a bigger bang if you open the throttle wide whilst the kills witch is on, and the bike must still be in gear and the clutch out, saw 6 foot long blue flames out of the cans on my mates Firestorm.

It's just a loud bang nothing cool.

My art exhaust used to occasionally spit out a few flames at night time if i was ragging it, combined with the popping sound it was pretty sweet.

My yoshi done that when slowing down Mark was awesome.

It works fantastically well on old tech thumpers like on motocross bikes. My 4t 125 does it beautifully. It's so good, it must be illegal.

tis also fun to roll past somebody with clutch in nice and quietly, then wang the throttle fully back and hit the limiter, people jump just as far as backfiring it

As G says it wont work on a Fuel Injected bike, Ive seen endless people try and fail...however a 2004 ZX6R with an Akky race can, down changing at stupid revs pulls some very nice flames and opos and bangs lol

I tried this a couple of weeks ago, couldn't really tell how it sounded. I know I guy who rides a Suzuki Intruder 125, the v-twin cruiser. He's pretty good at metalwork and stuff and he's made two slashcut straight-through pipes, it sounds absolutely fearsome just idling. Backfiring that under a bridge is something to behold .
