back from a 4000km road trip

[Black wing]

wasnt the largest of road trips but it was the largest this bikes done in many years, it handeled itself and the trailer pretty good. had to stop after the first 1000 km for a overheating and seized caliper but was the only inhibiting issue.

 

the bike was however and still is temperamental on the tuning. it usually took about 100 km for it to fully wake up a get full power and it would occasionally get a rattling noise while under power and for a few hundred kms at all times under any load,which i have found to most likely be excess fuel cause small rapid backfires and which sound like rattling by quickly hitting the collector.

 

its gotten pretty bad at one point the exhaust sounding like it was going to explode. now its gone and the bike sounds pretty healthy mines some popping on cyl 2 still persisting.

 

when im driving around its sometimes smooth as silk and others its a bit shaky, has nothing to do with temperature or range at this point

 

any ideas?
