Life is good, how are you George? I'm glad Woody jumped-in because I didn't even think about low battery power creating the circumstances needed for this. I hope that's all it is.I'm real curious to know what you find. Its 'always riding season in Tampa' so I'm sorta thinking you don't want your beastsneezing too much more!

I've had/have the same issue. It is always when the bike is cold. I have at times smelled gasoline when I shut the bike off. Pop with a puff of white smoke from the cylinder head. Original battery in a '06, VBAK, AIS Block off, Power Commander, Auto Tuner, Dyna Tech Coils and wires, Iridium plugs. I think it might be coming from where the exhaust attaches to the cylinder head. I have thought for a while now that there is a leak of some sorts there as it will backfire when I go through the first few gears aggressively. Thoughts?
Thanks!
