    Interested or not? Either way is ok, but please provide some feedback. Thank you in advance. I am talking about a hobby shop for motorcycles and ATVs. The business would have stalls for rent. A certified technician would be on hand to answer any questions, and would also be able to work with...

    Hi. I'm new to this forum and motorcycles in general. I've had my 2006 gz250 for about a month and got it when it only had 161 miles on it. Anyway, I took it out today and it backfired whenever I shut it down. This hasn't happened before and I was wondering what could be happening. Any ideas?
