Backfiring in a Honda 400EX when you let off the throttle is often caused by an overly rich fuel mixture, which can result from a dirty air filter, incorrect carburetor settings, or an exhaust leak. Additionally, it may be due to unburned fuel igniting in the exhaust system. Check the carburetor and adjust the air-fuel mixture, and inspect the exhaust for any leaks to resolve the issue. Regular maintenance can help prevent this problem from occurring.

Allow the engine cool off for 15 - 20 seconds. Position throttle to full speed and turn ignition switch off. This will reduce the vaccum through the carb thus drawing less fuel into cylinders.

1982 Honda cb900 custom and it backfires when you let of on the throttle what causes this?

I have the same bike, same year. First I'd say, is it really backfiring (small explosions in the tailpipes) or more "popping" when you let off the gas? I think backfires might be more common on giving an engine gas, not letting up... Mine was popping (which I originally referred to as 'backfiring', as well), and the diagnoses was that the engine was running lean, and when I had the carbs cleaned, it went away completely.


Since the carburetor was overhauled the 1984 Yamaha enticer snowmobile keeps backfiring?

The engine backfiring at idle, and at slightly off idle speeds is indicative of a lean fuel/air mixture. Try enriching your fuel mixture.
