Backfiring

Ive got a 78 Yamaha xs650 that has a back fire on one side. It usually happens when I let off the throttle, and before I break, when the engine is slowing down. Any suggestions.

Sounds like fuel is still entering one cylinder after releasing the throttle.

Time to have your carbs cleaned as well as synchronized.

Good Luck!!!

and post back!
