1998 super hawk weird startup/ warm up noises
Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and to owning a superhawk so want to start off by saying this forum is the reason I decided to go with this bike. Very helpful so thank you.
ok, so I've attached 2 videos to describe the sound, it backfired in this video but usually it's a metal clanking noise (more noticeable in video 2) right under the gas tank that happens 2-3 times and affects the rpm. Is this carb farting?

Update. I synched the carbs! I was making my tool and had to wait for the rubber stoppers and brass adapter (what a pain in the ***) to come in the mail (damn corona) but it's done now and seems to be an improvement. I'll update when I'm able to do a cold start.

I started it up just now when I got home from work and it wouldnt start without the choke being pulled out but after that it it runs good. Is that normal for these bikes? I think it's better than before the balance

If its starts great without choke, the pilot circuit is too rich
