so i got the xb12r, drummer, stock ecm, k &n air filter...im finding all the damn time that my air box is farting...so to say that its backfiring thru the airbox, sometimes it gets so bad that i feel that the airbox is going to blow off? anyone got a solution to this? ive also taken that rubber boot thing off in the frame (snorkel)...anyone with any info please post and let me know...thanks  | ||

One thing you should do is install the race ECM. | ||

TPS reset? | ||

yea jason, im thinkin about getting the race ecm, maybe that will help...freyke, i honestly think resetting the tps will not cure this problem, as i try at least once or 2 times a week to ride under 3500 rpms for about 15 - 20 minutes out on the highways...thanks for your time yall | ||

This happens to me a lot too when I blip the throttle on my 12. However, it also happened on my 9, so I would not really worry about it. | ||

I get that when the outside air temp is cold AND the bike is cold. I also live at 5000' elevation. I have found (YMMV) that if I let the bike warm up for at least one minute EVERY time I ride it, it seems to be a little more friendly. | ||

FWIW: I have never had a backfire through the airbox on my Firebolt, stock with the exception of the K&N Filter. Now my Harley on the other hand...  | ||

Mine did this a bit... Sounded like gun shots... Check your inlet seals... | ||

My xb12r did it stock and does it with a K&N and snorkle in place. It may be the fuel sloshing issue in my case. xbolt12 |
