The pinkering I don't think is anything as most of the Ws seem to have that..but the exhaust popping is symptomatic of your carbs needing properly jetted as they are not jetted so well from the factory. Have your factory airbox removed thats located behind the side panels that the carbs breath into and put them on some K&N single filters for each of your carbs and have the carbs rejetted to suit the new air setup and you will have a roaring machine without any popping.

Pop quiz ('cause I don't know the answer):
Engine pinging on acceleration or uphill, and exhaust popping (like a
baby backfire) on downshift are symptoms of what, specifically?
Mixture? Carb asynch? Something else?

Congratulations, Dick - Victoria Police here has
a couple of ST1300s, I inspected one - lovely bike, and they like 'em.?
Haven't heard about the weave here, but they don't have a freeway on the
Island and they don't wear?a topbox either.? I presume you won't
regularly travel at 125-145 mph, but maybe I'm wrong?..?? How many
bikes will that leave in the stable??

I took it up to speeds in excess of the normal

fitted so I will find out if that has an adverse effect

Now you can get embroiled in the famous

I spoke to a Pan riding copper last month
and I'm pretty sure its the same as the W weave!
As some of you will know recently I have
been considering a more touring style of appliance. Today I rode tested
a ST1300?Pan European. I was offered a really good trade in for my
CB1300S against a brand new Pan complete with a package off accessories
worth ?850 for less than the list price of a standard bike.
Hopefully I will be concluding the deal

Yes, the front Venom, or indeed a front Bridgestone BT45 would be
fine.
There's nothing really wrong with the rear...The BT45 is better, but if you
get good mileage, it follows you don't 'ear'ole' it much so the benefits of
the rear BT's stick sidewalls would be lost.
If the front has developed a 'step' where the centre treads have become
raised, you might not want a BT45 on the front as the raised ridge is
symptomatic of the dual compound front tyre wearing wrongly due to your
riding style ( mine too!). The BT45 might also wear in that way...Although
no-one has reported it doing so yet.

I need a new front tyre and have been reading Jon's epistle on the

well as many others. I have an almost new stock Accolade on the
rear,
(the way I drive it will last for years), would a stock size
Venom go
with this? Currently the front is a stock Accolade.
