Misfire? - SV650.org

I've recently bought a sv 650 k4. When the bike is ticking over it sounds like every so often its missing a beat, because the revs die and pick up again. (You can see this on the rev counter). When i got the bike the tickover was at 800 rpm, so i increased it to 1200 which helped when pulling away. I'm not sure if the tickover being low is because there is a fault. When you rev the nuts off it it will give a loud backfire! Does anyone have any ideas what it could be? the bike has done 17000 miles, Thanks, Nic.

im guessing you adjusted the tick over while the engine was warm. the loud backfire at the red line is normal.
as for missing at tick over i have no idea about.
