Hi,

I have very seldom bangs in the exhaust, mostly when I went more than a 
quarter of an hour at full throttle on the highway and then slow down with 
the carburetors closed. At a certain rpm two or three bangs occure, but 
they are soft and blubby ones, which sound quite good. ;-) No big bangs. 
After a kilometer of normal riding I do not have any bangs anymore.

My @ is freshly adjusted by the local honda dealer, the air filter is brand 
new and the engine is at original honda state.

I think, such seldom bangs under abnormal conditions are normal, I also had 
them on my Transalp, but more often there than at the @.

take care - Marcello.
