    My pipes are making a "popping" sound. Is this causing damage to the bike? Should i be driving the bike or should i get it fixed right away.
    thanks. bunz

    bunz .. did you do any mods to the bike, like re-jet the carb or a different high volume air filter ? It sounds like you might be running a little lean. Extended riding with a lean fuel mix can cause engine damage. If you can, run your bike a little richer and see what happens.

    Popping

    G Day

    My Sporty started to popp a while ago, i saw then that the Gaskets on the Inlet Manuefold needed replacement.
    Easy to check, just spray a bit Carbicleaner or Water to the Manuefold, if the Engine react (refing up or drop the Idle) chanche the Gaskets, cost ca Aud 7.50
