Nytro backfiring

[garyr]

My buddy has an 08 Nytro and is experiencing some backfiring issues. The machine makes a slight backfire when u pin the throttle and also when you slack off on the throttle. I say it is a plug issue, just wondering if any of you guys experienced this and if you did find the cause. The machine pulls like a train and other than the backfiring runs like a charm...there are no codes showing up.as well...any help would be appreciated.

backfire

sounds like time for some exhaust donuts to me

Donuts!!!!!!!!!! NOT the type the cops eat either.

Does he have any exhaust or intake mods, ie a can or K&N's? If so it's normal. IMO

Mine backfires when coasting, maybe once or twice each time. Is that doughnuts?

Really? I have both, my sled never backfires.

(Well actually it did once or twice when I rode it with a large hole in the collector. So it's parked till I get a new one.)

My nytro backfires lots on a steep decent. Even going up the Bowl in The North Arm hills she sounds like she is popping and missing. Haven't checked donuts or plugs lateley. I have Excell full exhaust and PCV. I hate the popping.
When I got down from a high climb a Bombardier buddy said you need to change your plugs. I blamed it on the exhaust. Annoying big time. Love and hate relationship with the Nytro.

9 times out of 10, a de-cell backfire is an exhaust leak of some sort, whether it's donuts or a cracked exhaust flex/header pipe.

Will it hurt anything if I dont tend to it sooner rather than later? Sledding season days are numbered and I would rather wait.

I would imagine it will burn out your exhaust sooner, as there is a fireball escaping during the event.. Possibly even a shock wave? Which over time cant be good on things.

Run it!! Mine backfires every once in a while, and it pops all the time on the throttle. It's normal for the popping, and the popping sound gets amplified when you have an exhaust on your sled. I heard the popping comes from an emissions issue. The backfiring on deceleration is from bad donuts, or cracked head pipe, or cracked header pipe.
