My 99' ZR 500 (with 1650 miles on it) Backfired three times the other day while I was riding it. It was three times in 80 miles. Is this something that should be checked out? Or not? It never has done that before, so thats why I am wondering.

For less than 5-bucks, new spark plugs are a good place to start.

Actually, I put new spark plugs in a week before this, would it be them? They are not the same brand that were in it before, but that shouldnt matter (but then again I don't know much about engines).

call the dealer and ask them what plgs and brand you need.. and get them.. not something that MIGHt do.. get the RIGHT ones..

thats the first thing...
