I have been taking the 71 out for several shakedown runs in the past week.
starts and idles well. runs well at lower speeds. I am trying to gradually
get familiar with its running characteristics.
I leaned on it a few days ago , and I heard and felt a pop or backfire.
Just one. I was either in 3rd or 4th gear.
I backed off and rode more conservatively after that.
I did have it up to 60-65 after that, at steady speed with no problem. I
have not had a backfire or misfire since this first time.
Is this a characteristic of the loops?

Thanks, all
