Mine did once with the stock exhaust. I think it's twice now with my danmoto. |

when you first start cranking it puts gas through the system and it flows out the exhaust until the first fire when it sends hot gas out which ignites the remaining gas vapor that was in the exhaust from before it fired. maybe more backfire on startup means your exhaust pipe has more volume to hold more gas vapors? maybe it means your jetting is rich when its cold. who knows, not me.

Was wondering if anyone can tell me if they were totally sure you haven’t touched the throttle grip? First time it happened my son was ‘helping me’ check the oil and said wow this grip doesn’t go round that far! Yep he’s sacked! Left it to sit for a few hours in the ‘hope’ the fuel would drain, but no, sure enough bang! Took me an hour to go check, was so expecting to see aluminum shrapnel, started like a charm!
Has happened perhaps 5 times in 2700ks and only at start up! But I always have to move mine before I start her, anyone 100% sure they haven’t touched a throttle? As I was thinking this was the reason, for the backfire not just a random thing? Like after stoping the bike you give it a small twist while getting off or moving it? As I was almost sure it was extra fuel ??? Poor hubby was right behind the last time, and got the full ‘detonation’ wasn’t at all impressed, and didn’t have his helmet on either!! Woops! Totally 100% sure it’s out the pipe! |

Look guys, I know why this happens.
When you came home the previous night on the bike, you pulled into the driveway, and hit the kill switch. That is why. If you pull into the driveway with even with a little bit of throttle and then hit the kill switch, it will load up a bit of unburnt fuel/vapor into the exhaust header. The next morning when you hit the starter button, and that first burst of hot exhaust gas hits the vapor in the exhaust...it goes BOOM. You can repeat this scenario.... Hop on your bike, Rev it up a bit, and hit the kill switch, then flip it back and hit the starter....PLUG YOUR EARS...cause its gonna go BOOM big time. If you dont want it to pop every morning, then dont use the kill switch to stop the engine when you any bit of throttle in it. |

i never used to use the kill switch and it would still backfire every now and then. i'd let it idle a bit after the ride before shutting off the engine... didn't matter. totally random and when i least expected it.

I always thought you hit the kill switch when you were about to hit something! And the Kill switch is a bit nasty on the bike, maybe used it like 10 times to see if it worked, not crashed!? Also put in neutral when I get home, and idle it have to reverse in between cars, backwards then through a gate, usually get the angle right then, get off and turn of the bike, take helmet off and roll it to its home! I knew nothing at all, when I got my L’s so I did lots of reading, and apparently better for the engine to do the cool down thing? Go nice and gentle just a bit before you get home, and turn it off, after a few seconds of not moving like a cool down lap, but not idling too much as it heats the engine too much? Sorry think that might not help the idle theory!? Totally random again!

Happened to me for the first time this morning. High 40's degrees. No throttle, full choke. As one of the previous replies pointed out, it sounds like a gun shot! Thank goodness for my ear plugs.

When you stop the engine the odds are good at some point you will do so in a way that leaves one cylinder with fuel vapor in it and unignited. Then when you hit the starterif the exhaust valvehappens to beopen when the plug fires, boom, you get a bigbang. Makes sense to me anyway. a

I bought my bike used, the first backfire happened months after and it happened about 6 times within a month, after that I haven't had another, it's been about 3 months without it happening
