Backfiring is a symptom of being too lean, not too rich. Clean your jets, synch the carbs and adjust the PMS.

SOURCE: Backfiring when idling back down thru the gears

that seems to be what they do, i too have a 650a and have jardines on with baffles, it still pops and cackles when you roll off the gas. are you running no baffels? when i took mine out i noticed a drop in power as i had removed the requierd back pressure for optimum performance. you can get small baffles to slip into straight pipes from jc whitney for about $5 each.
anyway back to the backfire. my local bike shop shrugged their sholders when i asked them about mine saying it's what they do. you will get used to it and you will find a way to kinda not make it do it so much. i actually have grown to like it now, except when there are cops about.

happy safe riding

Try checking the switch for your parking brake. It is the top wire in the clutch handle boot. This wire connects to your CDI box, and restricts the RPM's while the parking brake is engauged. To find out for sure, trace the wire down to the plug under the headlight assembly and disconnect it. Now try starting you machine and give it some throttle!

the mechanic should adjust the idle of the fuel pump because.I think there are much gas that is going to the engine.and also check the air filter if there are dirt on the filter then replace filter .for sometimes it can be the exhaust.

My rf600r backfires when im coming down in gears or coming up to a corner or bend i drop down to second gear keep it there for about 10 seconds and bang everyones looking or ducking, is it a major pro

Some popping on deceleration usually means a lean idle mixture.

However, a backfire like you describe, I'd start looking at an exhaust leak, like a bad gasket where the pipes bolt to the head.

Beings it only recently started, and getting more common, yep, sounds like a bad gasket that's not getting any better on it's own.

17.5 briggs motor back fired 1 time and now when i engage blades the motor boggs down

The engine is timed internally and externally. Sometimes when it backfires the external timing key where the flywheel and crankshaft join will be damaged enought to put the engine out of time. The engine may run but when put under a load such as cutting grass it will fail. This is about a 30 minute repair and about $2.00 in parts.

My bike has started missing, backfiring; when I'm coming out of curve and want to roll on throttle, it feels like it will die. Even in 5th gear at high speed, it will miss. I had same problem last year and...

It sure sounds like when you go into the turn your gas moves inside the tank, allowing water (from gas and condensation), or old gas, to get sucked into the gas line - hence the power loss and missing and backfiring. Try some dry gas, a regular bottle is for about 18 gallons, so adjust how much you put in to the capacity of your tank.

Vn800 running fast on tickover

I am not sure what you mean on the "running fast" statement. If idle speed then turn the idle screw outward to slow down the idle.

The backfire is caused by turning off the ignition key when the bike is at high revs. let it idle down THEN turn it off. The backfire is there because the carb idle circuit is active anytime the piston is in motion. Gas goes into the cylinder as the bike revs down then a hot spot in the exhaust pipe finally ignites the built up gas. There is your backfire.

Is the running fast question answered? Give me more information on the problem if it isn't.
