    Running too rich if you have a backfire after you kill the ignition.

        Backfiring after deccel while riding? Sounds like you need to bring out the idle mixture screws a bit and maybe up the pilot jet.
        Does it have any hesitation on throttle roll on?

            Don't come out on the screws if you are black and sooty. That is a rich condition. By the way what year model is this?
