November 25, 200817 yr Guys, hoping you can put my mind at rest i have an 08 repsol and when it is sitting on tickover the is a definate miss or pop from the exhaust ??? I've checked everything and everything appears OK ?? I've changed the oil's and filter, changed the air filter (new), new spark plug and up'd the idle speed as it was a pig to start seems ok now though!! But still has that noise from the exhaust ?? maybe i'm being paranoid, i sure hope so!! First four stroke i've had and i love it but still finding my feet with the maintenance side of things !! PARANOID !!!! Cheers in advance !!
November 25, 200817 yr They all do that if its what you are desrcribing on first start tickover, might be an over fuel untill the engine warms up
November 25, 200817 yr It is unlikely to be a problem but to cover all possibilities you should also check valve clearance, a tight exhaust valve will also cause popping in the exhaust.
November 25, 200817 yr I would get it checked out by a dealer. Should tickover fine when warm well mine does!
November 25, 200817 yr Hi Dave is it because you have taken all the restrictors out and your usually upside down mate?
November 26, 200817 yr Probably an air leak in the exaust joints, check nuts on cylinder head to exaust flange and joint to silencer. Gaskets at said joints may need replacing. The main symptom of exaust air leaks is a popping or backfire when snapping throttle shut. Check these joints first before getting too involved.
