Ok guys, I've searched the tech KV and haven't been able to find a clear answer to my question:

Why does the bike "pop" when I twist the throttle before taking off? This happens a lot-cold or fully warmed up. The noise is coming from underneath the air cleaner cover.

Also as I am going down the road (highway) and I am at a constant speed for a while, there will be a pop that sounds like it is coming from the muffler (backfire maybe?) This will happen 2 or 3 times during my trip. What would cause this?

I am at 500 miles on my 07 XB12s and ready to take it to the dealer for the initial service.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pete

it could be a couple of things. probably all electrical. best to take it in and have them put it on the computer. make sure your running 91 octain. have them check your tps.

Premium is the only grade I have been putting in there. I will take it in and have them look at it.

Thanks!
