Using MKIV and MyriadProBold for my sanserif font I have the following
chapter title:
"Can You Type \bye?"
which I type as
\chapter{Can You type \backslash bye?}
The slash appears but a bit low and much too thin. I have tried
various games including creating a special font just for this
character but nothing changes. the \backslash command seems
invulnerable to change. Is there a way in MKIV to express a backslash
in another way (bigger and bolder)?

\backslash is a math mode command. For text backslash, use \textbackslash
or \letterbackslash. You can also try
\chapter{Can you type \tex{bye}?}

Use \textbackslash.
