Black smoke - Yellow fire shots
I am not riding for over a month now due to this freezing weather here. So I started it as usual as one of the winter warmups but this time it gave a lot of smoke with real fire coming out from rear cylinder pipe. It did when I rev high. Popping, fire, smoke, you name it. Do I have a broken seal somewhere?
Btw I liked the fire thingy. :D

Did it do it all the time the motor was running or was it a oncer? If it was just that once, it sounds to me like it got a belly full of fuel and the only way it could get rid of it was to burn it in the exhaust!
Yep, @Gibbo is the expert, but it sounds like it was running rich. How long did you let it run for, and did it just burp/fart once, or did it continue to do so.

It did for a few minutes. Tank was full with stabil mix when I set it a month ago. I will give it another start next week. It never spit such flames before. Yea it did once..first time.
