Scratch that, it was a stupid question.
NEW QUESTION!
Alright, so I got some progress on the bike, but still won't start. What's going on is that I'll hold the starter button and it simply cranks and the exhausts putts air out, but when I hold the starter button and turn the throttle about 1/3 the way, occasional bursts of air will shoot out of the air filter(under the seat) and I'll hear air pop around the engine as well(occasional as well).

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass, I really appreciate your help though.

Thanks,
Koki

Like I posted earlier, have you checked compression?

Ah, that I haven't. Partially because I don't have a proper gauge and partially because I'm hoping that's not the problem haha. I'll see if I can get my hands on one sometime soon.

Insufficient clearance on intake valve can cause backfiring through the carb.

Good Fortune! :)

As Patton said, valve clearance. Or maybe cam timing out of phase. You do have the service manual for your bike, right? It will explain the compression test, the valve clearances, and the cam timing.

Had this happen to my 81 750e. Backfiring out carbs and no start but would crank. Drop bike on right side during accident in sfcity. Thee timing side crankshaft bolt was bent.

You definitely have something wrong with you timing advancer area.

My son skidded my 550 down the road. Was backfiring like that. Turned out that there was a cut wire where the harness went in the front just in front of the gas tank.When he went down it pinched it
