Answer
Lonnie,Try this to start with. Put in a new spark plug but go down 1 number if its an NGK plug, for example if its a B8ES go to a B7ES. Also the carb may need gone through as a fuel crcuit may be plugged. Also check the exhaust flange at the head. Yamahas will loosen up and suck air in and back fire on deceleration on their 450's.
