Backfiring '94 R11RS

[kalimusic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks for all replies. After finding the previous owner put too much oil in
the crankcase, too little oil in the gearbox, installed crappy Autolite plugs,
and decided not to have any experienced mechanic check/adjust the valves or
sync the throttles at 36k miles, I would have to say he's part I.D.I.O.T.

But the bike is spotlessly clean for a 12 year old machine w/40k miles on her,
so at least he did that much.

I will follow relevant suggestions and provide feedback.  
Ride Safely,
Murali
