hi good people,

im new to this forum as i have just puchased a cx500 and it was runnin great and has just started back firing when the revs are droping on decelaration?i have 2 small holes on the motad 2 into 1 exhaust thats fitted pin hole size?its got worse over the last 2 days but have done 500miles since purchasing the bike and been ok,the carbs have been rebuilt and new cam chain fitted.any ideas would be great?

Regard Richard

Did you change the ACV valves when you did the carbs? If they are bad or leaking they can cause backfiring.



Try covering the holes in the exhaust and see if it helps.

Rich i doubt very much that its being caused by an electrical fault....no one can really comment on that until they know you year and model

Blue Fox helped me clean my carbs. If he hadn’t I never would have noticed that the ACV valves had small perforations in them. Taking care of them seems to have helped my backfiring issues.
