I know some others had this same problem but I missed the solution. My bike has a force winder and V&H pipe and was rejetted but it does sputter and spit occasionally at low RPM/s. I did just discover the plugs were not tight, but it still is spitting, maybe not as bad? Should I go for new plugs, noticed Autolight in there, any suggestions? penick "AT" nettally.com

Are you backfiring at all?

My 2000 cyclone used to sputtered and spit sometimes at low rpms,but seemed to do better after it was warmed up.That was with the stock cv carb,I put a Makuni on it and it cleared my problem up.I run BUELL 10R12 plugs in my Buell and they seem to work fine,not sure about running other plugs,put a new set of plugs in,thats the cheapest fix if it works...good luck.

Did you see Aaron's notes about the Forcewinder in the KV?
Use the 10R12 plugs.
What kind of jetting are you running?

Sounds like it still might be running a little lean at low rpm or it may have a vacuum leak. My 00 M2 still occasionally backfires through the carb at low rpm (I heard it called a "stackfire" here - I like that).

Intake gaskets?

try adjusting the low speed jet some more -- you can get rid of approx 95% of the spitting that way (on my Y2K MaDeuece, at any rate)

I had the same bike, same problem. I went through all the scenarios of likely problems problems. Plugs, jetting, intake seal, gasket leaks, oil overfill etc. The blow by continued. I had it in for service three times when, finally, a good mechanic pulled the heads and realized there was a torn valve guide seal. It was replaced and the problem was solved.

Now, by "sputter and spit", you aren't by chance referring to the classic "Keihin cough", are you?

My M2 does the same thing, but it got better after installing a Blast pilot jet #48 (I think). Rode Sunday, and after 300 miles it probably only coughed three or four times and never that bad. It was worse with the stock setup and stock muffler.
