Well we will perhaps known more tomorrow night, ill get the seat off and see if there is a fuel module underneath. I think you guys were spot on with thinking the backfiring is due to a exhaust leak. I gave a whirl at putting some deeper stainless acorns on my exhaust, 1 cause the old ones looked like crap and 2 to see if I could snug the gasket down a little tighter until I could replace them. The result was same type of backfiring problem (on hard decal) just much much worse. So im gonna hope that since I frigged with the gaskets and it made a noticeable change (all be it for the worse) that im somewhere around the cause of the problem. Picked up a set of HD gaskets (you were right the kaw dealersip didn't have any in stock and a week to order them in) and I will put them on tomorrow evening and let you know the results.
