I have recently experienced a new possible issue with my '01. As I start to accelerate going through 1st and 2nd gear I am feeling like the brakes were sticking on the bike. You can really notice it during deceleration - almost to the point where I dont need brakes during upshift while coming up to a stop sign/red light. I checked the brakes and they are not hanging up. The rear and front wheel spin at an acceptable level. It shows no signs of bogging down and accelerates very well. There are no other issues to note - other than excessive popping during deceleration. The only thing I have done recently is install a shortie exhaust but the bike did not show these symptoms until well over a month of having the exhaust on it.
Any idea what this could be? Would it have to do with my exhaust and lack of back pressure? carb issue? diaphram / vacuum issue? some main bearing is getting ready to seize up (I have noticed no new noises to indicate this)?
I am at a loss on this one and no its hard to diagnose in this forum but figured it was worth a shot.
