It was more a question of being broke and having fuckall gas lol, But I managed to pull a bit of coin out my arse and made it along.
Man fucks sake wtf is going on with my bike aye, It keeps backfiring when I change down to 3rd from 4th (revmatched or not.) Mobil Synergy 8000 was working fine (The petrol is pink colour if this means anything) but I put in some BP Ultimate (green colour) and my exhaust was popping like pop corn (not as rapid though). There wasn't any noticible power loss though so I assume the pistons are not completely misfiring. I know the bike manual says min 91 octane, But I use premium as a safety measure for riding long distances constantly in the powerband. Never an issue on my old GPX very weird...
Cheers for the ride guys, that was great
Maybe its because your bike is "Brand New". I mean, When I bought my bike, the mechanics said not to take it over 5,400rpm for the first 2000kms.
I dunno the story but I guess the engine needs to be worn(?)/ used for sometime to open up its full potential lol
Don't worry lol Come on, your bike has 320km on the clock! lol

Fucking run-in periods.. blah... It's a bit hard to obey Kawasaki's 4000 rpm limit when anything over 60kph requires a 7th gear.
I think I had just gotten shitty fuel at the BP which had some crap in it which wasn't burning properly so it would exit out of the engine half unburnt and it would explode in my exhaust cans.
As I said it only started happening after that fill so I might not go to BP anymore and see if it fixes itself.
Lots of people think that popping on the overrun is unburnt gas in the pipes but it can be the bike at high revs and no throttle opening running lean and hot so when the fresh gas/air mix gets sucked in it hits the hot exhust valves and pops. Without seeing your bike I couldn't say but on mine if your sitting at high (near redline) revs for a bit then shut the throttle it'll pop on the overrun.
edit. PS, don't go crazy with the revs but do load the engine during run in. Your just trying to not let in valve bounce or anything but up to 80% of full revs should be fine. The rings need load to bed.

You could be right pancakes about it popping on the valves, But it also happened after we had left from having fish & chips at Raj's and the temperature gauge at that time was at the bottom of cold. This bike also seems to run hotter than my last one by about 1/5th of the gauge when I've been running for a while. Could these things be a sign that my carburettor jets have an incorrect number of turns? I'm still inclined to think this stuff I got from a particular shitty little BP at the bottom of town heading towards the harbour bridge has something to do with it. Except for the temperature thing, higher octane should effectively cool the engine more so than regular unleaded...
My old bike used to show something like this after a full day of redline riding C[___|______]H this one seems to come up to about here C[_______|__]H after a good thrash
