No difference. no backfiring when I shift or back off momentarily, just under engine breaking conditions. Where do I go from here? Any thoughts? Could be the copper crush washer at the cylinder head. Also a $5 part. I would think that if it was, it would still backfire during shifting though (but I'm far from an expert.) part number from http://www.buykawasaki.com is 11060-1108 dat brooklyn bum _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
