    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello guys. I have done all I can but I still have the same problem. Up to 3 weeks ago this bike ran perfectly and now up to 4000rpm the bike backfires when I release the throttle and at steady RPM it's like it's not getting gas or bad ignition but has soon has I open the throttle it will take it and go fine. When I come back lower then 4000rpm same problem comes back.

I guess it likes to go only fast... seriously driving around town is no fun.

Was jetted and ran great. (up to 3 weeks ago).
carbs balanced.
Carbs were dismantled and cleaned yesterday and still same problem.
 
Sounds like you're running lean on the pilot circuit or you need to bump the jet needles...
 
Drop them to the forth positon. You are still lean on transition i would bet. I do believe the DJ instructions SAY to start with the clip third from the top, but i found that the bike staggered just a bit off idle at this position. I ended up moving mine to 3.5 FROM THE BOTTOM. No stagger, runs like a whipped cheetah from idle to redline in 2nd gear with no bad spots. Whack the throttle coming out of first into second, or third into forth and it will lift the wheel very quick. Also, double check your air corrector jet. Thats the big slotted jet in the carb throat. if its bigger than 170 you might need to drop it down to 170 or perhaps even lower. You could try the included DJ air correctors (150) BUT thats likely too small and will richen the pilot too much.
