Weird throttle sound / VFR Popping ....audio example

Hi everyone,

After a little digging around I see that the popping sound I'm about to describe/show is not uncommon.

This is my first brand new bike. And since I'm not a very mechanical guy at the moment, the following sound put my mind to worry.

As the bike warms up whenever I engage the throttle the bike makes a popping sound. It only happens when the bike is warmed up, and likes to not show itself when anyone is around.

I have managed to capture the sound and it can be heard here:

It's the same bike as in the pic on the video. A 2009 black and white VFR with about 1800kms on it.

What do I do? Leave it? Get used to it?

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Thats the PAIR solenoid operating, its normal, or you can remove the PAIR system and you will never hear it again.

 

LOL, I was just riding home tonight when I heard this strange sound when I cracked the throttle at a red light. I used my I-touch and caught the sound as well but it is exactly the same thing you recorded. Good to know that it is normal. Thanks!
