Riding on the highway... herd a pop, bike chokes off when given gas?

[Migueldlf]

How are you guys,

This forum has help me tremendously in the past with the starter fix.

The new problem is as follows....

As i am riding my bike on a nice 100 mile trip, on the last 7 miles to my destination i herd a strange pop from the exhaust (not a typical backfire, to my knowledge). I pulled over and let the bike cool off for a few minutes and tired to turn it on.

It turn on normally but as soon as i gave the bike some gas the bike choked off and it sounded like only one cylinder was firing. While idling the exhaust was constantly popping.

Thought the week i will check my spark from the coils as well as the spark plugs too see if the bike was running to lean and the cylinder might have bogged out.

Any other suggestions? or Tips would be greatly appreciated.

Might be you have lost a vacuum cap off of intake barb.

Will definitely check, tomorrow. already put the bike in storage.

Thanks for the tip. hopefully its a simple fix

Hope that is it too. I have lost one and the symptoms were similar. I carry a spare cap in my wallet now.

Check compression. What pipes you running? Aftermarket pipes w no rejet can equal holed piston. Often happens on the first "road trip".

My quick guess is you broke something mechanically. Exhaust valve? You'd best do a leak down then compression.
