If it's definitely doing it on acceleration then something is wrong IMHO...
Could it be pinking and not backfiring at all. If that's the case it spells trouble.

Re: Backfire - pop!

...I think my has a defo POP! Its does have a couple of 'metal' noises as well, but I've put that down to the standard engine noise?

Do you know if you can extend the HD warrantee? My bike is only a year old, so have 12 months still to run. Just thinking ahead....
