I always took a long drill bit and drilled out the back plate .Suzuki are only a little louder. I had a honda vx 600 it sound like straigh pipes. YOU are leaner now but because its louder you hear the backfire more.

It was too lean before. If you opened the exhaust that much, you better get it jetted right away.

I hope this isnt a duplicate post, but I cant go back right now. Connection ois so slow it would take too long.
YTour bike was too lean before you messed with the exhaust. What you have done to the exhaust may have some impact on warranty. It certainly needs jetted now, I mean now as in Right Now, it is way too lean.

Let me preface my response by stating the disclaimer first. I don't know much about the subject, other than bikes in California are set up to run lean, and I have heard people say that the "leanness" of the mixture contributes to the backfiring.
I was in a shop, talking to a motorcycle tech who used to work on S-40s. He said that there is no way to get rid of the pop. Whether he is right or not, I don't know. He knows alot about the subject, but he may have been subtely steering me toward the other brand that he now works on.
I personally try to enjoy the sound of our crude little engines. They remind me of what early motorcycles must have sounded like.

Carole, when I feel the shaking of the engine, and I hear the occasional pop (usually when letting off of the trottle), I say to myself ....Whaa-hoo...now that is what a real "motor-sickle" should sound like...!!!

Carol, it would help the folks know how to respond if they knew the extent of the mods made so far.
