Was out riding the other night with a buddy. Dark. No light on the road. We pulled up to a stop for a break and he told me that on hard decel he could see blue flames out my tailpipes. Cool! Probably means I'm running a bit rich, eh?
There's no scoring or soot at the mouth of my tailpipes, so I figure he was seeing it from further up the pipe.
I had the exact same thing happen on my 97 SG I had SE exhaust and had taken the baffels out.. loudest motorcycle I have ever heard... [sm=insomnia.gif] I was riding one evening about dusk when I joined the "blue flame club" as a buddy of mine said he seen a rather large blast on decel as we were approaching a stoplight.
I was also riding my 06 Dyna not so long ago and had the reverse happen with a pop out through the throttle body.. I was taking a curve late at night and bang! looked like a camera flash next to my leg.. lit up the whole road... found out it was a tank of $hitty gas..
when the bang happened through the throttle body.. (in a curve) the entire bike lost power for about a half a second...[:@]the bike acted like it was gonna just tip over... scared the ( insert swear word here ) outta me.. damn crappy gas...
lookin back though (and after living through it) I guess it was kinda funny..
