Hi all! Newest Newbie to the Forum! I purchased a 2004 Speedmaster last thursday. Noticed several things about the bike after riding a few hundred miles over the weekend. The exhaust pops sometimes when starting the motor and all the time when decelerating. My wife hates the gunfighter style seat. The trans ratios seem like low gear could be a little lower and high gear could be a little higher. At 70mph it's turning about 4200 rpm. Seems a little high. Is that an acceptable rpm for cruising?

Thanks for the great forum! Looking forward to many miles of riding!
