I am no pro, numbers look good for a 96", but it probably needs a better tune. What size motor, 96" or 103". I would think better numbers if it was a 103". Try to get it to some of the better tuners on this or other forums. Where are you located?

No it should run smooth without popping and backfiring.
I see you're From MI. Which dealer? I myself would not be happy and would be talking to them. They should have never given it back to you like that.

Before you spend any more money, go back to your dealer and ask to talk to the service manager about your bike. Be polite! They didn't tune your bike right, by the sound of things, and you want them to put it right. Insist he rides it to see for himself!
