back fire

[Honda_7x]

hey i decided to go riden today and hadent started my r since last weekend when i changed the oil, after a few kicks it backfired so badly it blew the spark arestor mesh outa the end of my rossier exhaust

after that it seemed to run just normal

any input would be nice thanx

it is pretty cold out and i was wonderning since i didnt change the jets for winter the jettin could be off??

or did i flood it to much and it did fire and it was just the compression?

just wondering if its a critical problem?

plz help

sounds like you may have pumped teh throttle before you fired it and she backfired. i wouldnt worry, its the R's way of chitcanning the spark arrestor:p

Actually when its really cold out i do the same thing. i pump the throttle 2-3 times and then kick it over, seems to start a lot easier this way. mine will back fire also and then right after that the next kick it will start. you just gotta get the little pop first i guess lol.
