Have bought bike with aftermarket pipes that sound quiet at idle but under load get quite throaty and loudish. sometimes it will backfire or pop when decellerating on start up with no choke.Do you think that I might need to get the carbs rejetted?Bike has 5500miles on it and still on original tyres, back tyre is well down and due for replacement but front has lotsa tread left but has developed a shake that goes right thru the front end,I darent take both hands off the bars as it would cause the front end to shake and lock to one side and "whoops" any Ideas?
