Likely cleaning the carb will help or resolve the issue... let us know what you find.

Took the bikes out for a trip last  weekend. The first time we stopped to fuel up my stock 2000 Drifter 800 backfired thru the exhaust. It has done this a couple of times the last few years I have owned it, so I didn't get nervous. The rest of the day every time I shut it down it would backfire. On Sunday on our way back home it was the same thing, even when I started it to move it for a couple of minutes before we left. Other than the backfire the bike acts perfectly. Weekend before last I went to New Orleans with no problems. I plan on pulling the carb down this weekend to check the diaphram. Any other tips?
