First Ride but a little back firing

[Kato76]

Today was my first ride to work on the ol' GS850 after the summer months of putting things back together. I noticed though when I was down shifting there was a little backfire nothing major more of a putter. but I was wondering if anyone had any insights..

thanks

Stock exhaust or 4-1?

Everything is stock.

Everything is stock.

if its really just a light kind of burbling, it's probably not too much to worry about, you might be a little on the lean side. I would make sure the air box is all sealed up well in case its sucking a little extra air in somewhere.

How is the idle? Smooth, or does hunt for its rpms, seem a little high, anything out of the ordinary?

I am sure someone a little more knowledgeable than me may have some additional insight.

Is all the maintenance up to date: Carbs clean with fresh O-rings?, new O-rings on the carb boots?, carb sync?, valve adjustment? Airbox sealed and airfilter clean?

For the most part everything should be ordering it's just more of a putter, the carbs were cleaned at the beginning of the season. but hasn't really ran much. The air filter is new I will have to check to see if there is any seal problems around the boots air filter.

I haven't check the sync on the carbs since I got it. I should do that this weekend.
