Jerry Can Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 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 Quote
Pete Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 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! Quote
Stu Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 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 Quote
Bill_on_a_bike Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Sounds good to me, some people pay extra for that, just leave it, safe in the knowledge that you look awesom. Quote
Jerry Can Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 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. Quote
R3pilot Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 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 Quote
Mightycaz Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I'd keep the flames, just wait till Mr Dibble says you need to get it sorted then do it. Until then use it as an anti tailgating device Quote
