so i took the bike out yesterday and had some issues at the initial startup. bike started fine and seemed to be running alright for about 5-7 minutes while i geared up to leave. this is pretty much the normal procedure as i make it a point not to just start the bike and immediately drive off. got on and put it in gear, as i started to throttle up i felt hesitation and it started to backfire, crack and pop. i ran about 3 miles with half choke and it cleared up. no other problems yesterday, regardless of how long the bike sat between runs. today, same thing. bike starts first push on starter without any throttle. continues to run and sounds fine during warmup. as soon as i give it gas it pops and backfires. clears up after about 5-10 miles and then runs flawless. tried to get a set of iridium plugs, which is what's in there now, had to order them. running stage 7 carbs, crankcase breather filter, and 87 ethanol free gas. where should i start to look to cure the problem? bike is scheduled in to the shop on tues so i'd like to have an idea of what to tell the to look for.
