backfire and stall problem...
Hi all. Been slowly tracking down all the tiny issues and getting to know this bike. I have a 300 mile dirt ride coming up this weekend. Yesterday I had it stall about 5 times in 5 hours. Mostly just getting off the throttle in 2nd gear. Maybe a bit of engine breaking down a hill too although not in all cases. Almost every time it would immediately start back up and it always ran great except those moments. Plenty of power. Felt great. It would backfire slightly just before it died. I would love to fix the problem obviously but I'm mostly wondering if I should ride it the 300 miles of dirt coming up. Does this sound like something that will cause permanent damage or just be a pain in my *** a couple times a day?
Help!! I don't want to ride my old DR after 6 months of dialing this rocketship in!
