Default Problems with the DL1000

Hello friends,
My name is Bruno and from Azores 9 small islands that belongs to Portugal. I purchase a Suzuki DL 1000 at 3 months, but are happening strange things??? Some times i hear small explosions from the back of the motorcycle. Is this normal??? I'm trying to contact an engineer to explain this situation. In case you some one available to respond this question please advice...


best regards

bruno
Portugal

Sounds like a mixture problem. Has the bike been modified, like a slip on or full exhaust system?

Wait a minute, does your diet include a lot of beans?

Just kidding. You may want to check out the following
forum, which is dedicated to the V-stroms. Lots of knowledgable v-strom riders there.

Hope this helps.
