Hi guys. I think my bike has bad gas, and is making strange and inappropriate noises from it's exhaust pipe ;D
But seriously, I have noticed the past two times I have gone for a short ride that when I come back and park the bike, it makes a strange backfiring sound after I turn the engine off. It's not the usual sharp "gunshot" backfire, more of a "mattress falling off the roof" sound, a "WHOMP" if you will. My bike does not generally backfire at all, except for some pops and crackles when shifting down aggressively.
The bike is jetted for JHB altitude and I am at about 800m at the moment. Could it be running lean, and more importantly, should I be worried?
