2001 curvey with a CCC can. When it's ticking over it gives a solid pop about every 5 seconds like a minii backfire. Bike goes like a train and makes all the usual noises assosciated with a twin with a sports can, but this popping on tick over is getting me a bit worried. Could it be running too rich or bad plugs or anything else that could be a problem? I've tried adding a bit of choke to see if it gets and worse, but did not make a difference.

Also, may be slightly more frequent with super unleaded, but I'm using it all the time now so not sure if this is relevant.

Any ideas?
