Afternoon,


Just noticed a few flames spitting from the my new scorpion can, it's a street extreme carbon on a 1200 bandit.


Is this the norm or should I get her down to have the carbs looked at?


cheers

Probably nothing wrong with the carbs, but I'd say with it being a new can it might be running a bit rich. Best thing is to balance the carbs...oh, so yeah get the carbs looked at then, d'oh!

it will be unburnt fuel burning up on the over run


this is what causes poping in the exhaust :)


personally i would get it on a dyno for peace of mind and just to see how its running :)

Cheers guys,


It is supposed to be specific to the bike and I do hear that scorpion are one of the few that genuinely develop bike specific exhausts.


Mind you I reckon I best check the spark plugs too, just to see what colour they are.

Could get 2ft long flames when I changed the pipes on the Bonnie! Calmed down when I sorted the carbs and air injection But it looked cool as wossit :D :D
