Why does my dirt bike backfire?
Backfiring on a dirt bike engine is due to an emission system malfunction, in which there is too much air or fuel present. This causes the backfire explosion to occur in the intake or exhaust, both resulting in the loud sound. In some cases the exhaust also spits out a partial flame.
What should the idle mixture be on a Honda motorcycle?
Once the engine begins to misfire, back the idle mixture screw out just until the misfire stops. This is the optimal idle mixture setting. The midrange is checked by speeding the engine up to about 1/2 throttle.
How can I check if my Honda motorcycle still runs?
Once the idle and midrange mixture are dialed in, the high-speed mix may be checked. The high-speed jet is checked while the bike is being driven. Speed the engine up to between 3/4 and full throttle with the bike in first gear. Listen for a lean misfire and observe the exhaust for excessive hydrocarbons.
How do you check the midrange of a Honda motorcycle?
The midrange is checked by speeding the engine up to about 1/2 throttle. Listen to the engine and observe the exhaust gasses. A lean misfire indicates that the midrange jet is too small and must be increased at least one size.
What should the Idle Stop be on a Honda bike?
Pull off the Band-Aid. Eat our peas. Just do it. You adjust the idle screw this way. Let the bike idle, about 1200 rpm is good. Turn the screw one way or the other until you get the highest and smoothest engine revs. Adjust the idle stop (at the end of the throttle cable) to get the idle back down to about 1200. Just so you know.
Why are my spark plugs black on my Honda CB125?
I think this should really be in the repair section but I can’t post there so I’ll testdrive my problem here. I have a recently purchased honda cb125s which continuously blackens my spark plugs. It seems clear that mixture is too rich but no amount of adjusting the air screw on the carb will do anything.

What’s the best idle RPM for a motorcycle?
