[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 202209, member: 1650"] dirty carburetors, especially where the low speed circuit is concerned can make the bike pop under those circumstances. as tim points out the pilot screw can be used to stop it from popping too. I do agree with dan on where most of the pops come from and i see lots of them "fixed" with the pilot screw. there is this long held belief that bikes run lean when you shut the throttle and that they pop. they actually run their richest during coasting or braking with the bike in gear and throttle shut off. the fact that yours is hard starting makes me want to look for a plugged low speed circuit before going to far though. that can make it lean during cold starts. you can turn the screw out a little bit (keep track of where you start that process and where you end up) and see if it helps the cold starts and the harmless and sometimes annoying popping.
