What year is it? I have an 07 efi and if you blip the throttle before it is fully warmed, it will sometimes backfire, so I'm careful to make sure it's fully warmed b4 riding off.

Is it backfiring out the carb or the pipes? Could be time to rebuild the carb....or just have it fine tuned.

Unused fuel...you're running rich. Rebuild and re-tune the carb. Mine used to do that alot....it could also be because you've got **** pressure from running with no baffles. If they're larger diameter pipes, I HIGHLY recommend running baffles. I put a set of BCT's in my 2" drags and I honestly haven't touched or worried about ANYTHING since I had it tuned at the beginning of the year. No pop, no carb fart, no NOTHING...it runs perfect. EDIT: Loud as a mother-****er, too.
Just a thought.
