NOT ME ! The bike has been for a while(well I think its since I put a loud pipe on) when you shut the throttle,on down hill bits etc Actually quite like the noise

Anyroad chucked a new exhaust gasket in,no difference so didn't worry about it. While looking into my cold starting problem (that's another story)read that popping and banging could indicate bikes running lean so put my mixture screw as per book at 1 and a half turns out,still popping and plug still a touch on the white side,checked the maintenance pages here and they say 1 and a quarter out....hey presto no more popping and banging!!

Ps got in this afternoon from work on the bike and my neighbour was on the drive and he said 'your bike sounds very distinctive' (Is that code for I can hear you coming from f****n miles away!)
