Hey peeps,

I've got a question that I 'think' I know the answer to, but wanted to get some further opinions on:

Occasionally when I start the bike up, it makes a noise for a few seconds that sounds like it's running with no exhaust. Very loud and lumpy noise. But then afterwards it's fine.

I'm 'assuming' that it's just the engine mis-firing, as the spark-plugs are well over-due to be changed. But wanted to see if you all think the same? Or if it could be something a bit more sinister?
