Backfire and Engine Light

[LeFox]

any aftermarket parts on it?
has your tps been reset?
does your engine idle at variable rpm?
with that pop, do you lose power and then get it back resulting in a kick in the butt?

Seems like FIDOSOL is in the wrong forum asking about Honda CBR600!
BTW, my backfire was from the exhaust not air box...

Anyway...

LeFox,

As for the ecmspy tool, unfortunately I am not really a "techy" person and while there appears to be a lot of information available about this software, I am afraid to dive in and possibly screw something up. At this point I just want to solve this specific issue and if switching back to the stock exhaust solves the problem, I will go that route. The V&H sound is actually a mixed blessing and I am sure my wife and neighbors will be happy is I switched the exhaust. Now, since I never rode the bike with the stock exhaust, will I really be diappointed with the performance loss if/when I switch to stock? A 2hp loss/gain does not sound that significant...
Thanks again for all your input.

fido isn't asking about a crb600, he was talking about his experience vs. a cbr600.

for you, if the you don't experience the backfires and the bike runs smooth and is reacting good the the throttle...there should be no real problem.
if you're not going to do alot of tuning, i wouldn't go and get ecmspy and the cables just for that 1 reset.
if you don't want to risk anything, go back to the stock.

I'm completely stock except for the white wire mod, and the breather re-route. So nothing major...hasn't happened since, and yea, little loss of power, and then a slight kick. Did I break it?

nah, you didn't brake it...atleast not yet anyway :p
did you get a reset after the breather re-route?

you might want to get your AF checked, cause it could be a leaky inlet gasket. if that is the case, you would experience slight powerchanges during steady constant throttle position.

could also be your ignition, mainly the plugs.
i would say, upgrade your plugs...it's cheap and you can do it yourself.
no result => get your AF checked => value 100 => tps reset.

hmm, is that necessary? only happened once, besides, I am not allowed to get anything for my bike right now...childcare is expensive..and the wife is scary...

[LeFox]

well i'm not placing a gun to your head
you could have said before that it only happened once, though...could have just been a bit of dirt in the fuel line aswell :o

[FIDOSOL]

Well going from 1st to 2nd my bike backfired through the airbox, startled me for sure, never had that happen before...any ideas?

I did say it only happened once.

Thank you LeFox for your advice.

[LeFox]

nope, you said it never happend...never said it's not happening anymore :D

but anyway...if you're having no more backfires and the bike still puts a big grin on your face, i'm happy ;)

Once again, like every other time on this forum (and your job too probably), you are correct, Oh and it hasn't done it since, and thank you.
