Shoot flames out of exaust

i know this sounds stupid but does any one know a easy and cheap way to make an exaust through flames on demand thanks.
 
Flame on!

Flame on!

Dude, if you get this working on your GS, I would LOVE to see some pics or a video of it in action! Good luck!
 
have you ever used one.

have you ever used one.

have you ever used this set up before. thanks for the reply.
 
If your bike runs rich already you could just stick a spark plug on the end and hook it up to one of the coils on a switch to come on and off when you wanted it. Hell, if you had that same switch hooked up to switch off the other coil at the same time, you'd have a lot of raw fuel going into the exhaust just as you fired the spark plug.
 
i may try that

i may try that

do you think there is any certain spark plug i need to use? also i think i will use a bsa coil to make the spark , can i just wire it to one of my main coils with a switch

Any plug should work. Just whip out a spare. If you're gonna use a spare coil to fire it, all you have to do is hook the primary terminals up directly to 12v and a ground. Run the plug wire into the coil's secondary terminal. Flicking a switch on and off to make and break contact with the 12v source will spark the plug once for every flick of the switch. Just flick it back and forth a few times and it should light.
 
All the kits I've ever read about did exactly what Isaac mentioned in his first reply - cut power to the stock coil in order to flood the exhaust mounted plug with unburned fuel. Obviously you can't run it for long because the engine would die...

Hey odl777, Please let us know how it works out. I too would love to see it in action. Might consider one of my own.
 
Ahh the good ol' days of ripping off "exhaust cannons". Rolling down a hill, shut off the ignition, pump the gas twice (severall times if you had BIG ballz), then click the ignition back to run and........KABOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! ( and there goes ANOTHER $40 Napa muffler blown wide open at the seams) LOL

As a kid, I did it with a International Model H tractor. The muffler almost hit me in the head as it blew off!
 
My GS550 does it when ever i let off the throttle at high rpm's, everybody thinks it's cool. When i put the undertail exhaust on her i'll prolly catch my butt on fire LOL!!!

Someone once said "for any action, there is an equal, and opposite, reaction"

I blew a few mufflers off of vehicles doing that too.
 
My GS1100E would shoot out a two foot blue flame on deceleration...I was running a little rich...


Hap
 
I had an old Triumph that used to do that once and a while. Looked pretty cool along with the red "Sparky" spark plug caps!:lol:

Mine does the same thing, I think, I've never looked, but it sounds like a machine gun if I come leave it in gear and decel from 8-9K in 1st.


You may want to be carefull, this is illegal in almost all state, the flame thrower.
 
Mark,
You might want to keep in mind that youll need to decrease your oil change intervals somewhat because of the raw fuel factor. Its definitely worth it though. \\:D/
