It was a backfire and i think the flame came from where the carb and the intake connect. It wasnt really well pushed together. It not unheard of. In fact carb backfires are the leading cause of car fires i think.

So i think the flame was just too much gas with fumes going straight back to the carb and voila.

But im going to go ahead and clean the carbs. And the exhaust, filter mod, and rejet will have to wait a bit. I'd rather get the bike running stock first, use that as a baseline, and go from there later.

Thanks for the info chone, i'll be sure to reference all this when it happens haha

I'm using the ninja250.org guides for the carb cleaning, but is there any good threads around here worth going through? I'll be doing searches and all later tonight to study up. But i figure if anyone knows of a good one that would be great.

I just cant wait to get back out there.

Thanks!
