Where's the idle screw and weird bang after turning off?

    Two quick questions:

    First, where is the idle screw? My mechanic set my idle around 3k rpm and I need to turn it down...

    Second, a few seconds after every time I kill my engine after riding, a loud pop comes out of the baffles. Is it a problem or should I be worried? Thanks!

    Found the idle screw! Was a bigger knob than I thought...

    How well does it run otherwise, and do you hear popping when the engine is warm at idle, or when shifting/decellerating?

    With the bike idling at 3000 rpm, when it is shut down you could be cycling a charge of unburned fuel/air into the exhaust from a coasting engine and the heat in the exhaust ignites it. Has it stopped since you lowered the RPM?
