    Hi, could be a very small air leak somewhere, or valves need adjusting ?

    When was the bikes last service ?

    backfire

    i'll check her over at the w/end maybe do an oil change, maybe see if i can get a haynes manual for it, in the meantime, short term it should do no damage??

    Every now and then Dolly will break wind on the overrun, but I know thats down to a poor seal at the exhaust/muffler joint.

    Shouldn't do any harm. but might blow the muffler off/apart
