Ok...hopefully this is the last time I will ever have o post about this annoying issue.....took the bike into a mechanic last week and here is what he found....first the exhaust had the old gaskets still in place from when it was changed over to the drag pipes, neither one was sealing properly, the exhaust wasn't even mounted to the frame, just kinda hanging out there. Carb boots were loose, one of the breather hoses that connect to the intake was disconnected, the carbs were slightly dirty with the low idle jet partially blocked and they were not in sync.....so all of that has been repaired, carbs cleaned and synched....new plugs all around, oil and filter change, chain adjusted and lubed....pipes mounted properly with new gaskets.....and poof.....the backfiring and popping is GONE!!!! This bike runs like the wind now....oh yea...it already had a stage 1 kit in it......
Anyway...when all was said and done, it cost me $425.00 parts and labor....so all-in-all...not bad.....
Thanx for all the help with this....but I know you are all relieved that I am done with that problem!
Here it comes...wait for it...wait for it.....my HAPPY DANCE!!epper:epper:epper:epper:epper:
