The Leo's sound amazing , just curious is the exhaust supposed to make popping noises coming out the back or does the bike needed to be rejetted?

hello and welcome
the bike can pop if rich
but check what air filter is in the bike and has there been any work done on the carbs /dyno jet kit
also check the r/r to see what is fitted
are the CCTs originals or after market
the last two need sorted to have a happy biking experience
