On my bike, if I pull the choke all the way out I can get some mean backfires, but someone here (can't remember who) suggested pulling it all the way out and then push it in slightly, then hit the starter button. I found that if you follow this procedure, it will reduce the backfiring at startup.



Ditto on the choke trick. Works for me too.
