When I got my '93 XV750 72,000 miles ago it backfired.... it still does . . . it doesn't seem to have caused any mechanical problems because that bike still runs like new (other than the backfiring upon decel). A couple of months ago I got another (I now own 3) '95 XV750. It backfires exactly the same as it's older brother -- I've just figured that this is what they do and kinda like me -- my backfiring is a good thing! :-)
I've never tried to cure these problems for my bikes or myself, and life is good!
