Just a little question all of you. Got the bike running on Sunday. Now starts on very little or no choke. Ticks over at about 1500rpm. Give it some throttle and let the throttle off and it has started to backfire a little. Any help greatly received...cheers

Air leak on exhaust system.
Or possibly carbs not seated properly.
