    Backfiring

    Ok so the 1992 Ducati 900ss was running good, no problems with a stage 1 jet kit, K&N filter and my old beat to piss D&D pipes...

    So I get NEW D&D pipes, install them and now I have back firing, sounds cool at times but is getting annoying.

    I have my ideas, what are yours?

    does it only backfire under decel/engine braking? if it does the same thing happened to me, turned out to be an exhaust leak. Missing a copper plug on the bung on the exhaust pipe to be exact.

    Yep only under decel/engine braking.

    Huh? a leak from the header or at the pipe/ slip on connection?

    I'm not 100% sure on what its called on the bike but on a car its considered a "bung" that usually the o2 sensor is located. I am told that that "plug" on our pipes is for dyno tuning which again is the same as a car since we use wideband o2 sensors to monitor air/fuel ratios to tune accordingly. Basically any type of exhaust leak will cause it to do that.

    New pipes may have more airflow/ less restrictive which is causing a lean condition on deceleration/closed throttle.
