My yamaha xt 250, pops/backfires all the time during deceleration. Sometimes a very loud bang. I was told by yamaha that they designed the emission system this way to pass emissions. When they disconnected the emissions the loud popping and back firing went away. My concern is that the only way to not have the constant loud popping and backfiring is by making the motorcycle not pass emissions. I do not think it is very safe to have a motorcycle keep on backfiring and stuttering when driving it, loss of power. Hopefully someone can look into this before someone gets hurt.
