Bit of advice needed.
Bike starts and runs fine but occasionally sounds like a slight miss any ideas ...

Carb fart - perfectly normal

Just make sure idle is set high enough to prevent low speed stalling.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

First few times I just about shat myself as it felt like the piston had just shot out and hit the bottom of the tank. It happens randomly, but balancing the carbs and increasing your idle can reduce it. Part of the trait of the bike..
