The bike is tuned to pop. I tried to stop it a few times years ago but it's the nature of the beast. It's not an issue, it's a feature. Lean pop! You can stop it by tuning rich, or by pulling your "choke" out. Personally, I just accept it as a part of my favorite machine ever. Sort of like a slightly annoying habit of the woman I love, it sort of grows on me and I'd miss it if it was gone.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
