This causes a triple-fueling effect where petrol is added to piece of air on its way in, then more petrol is added to it on way out, then yet again when it gets sucked in final time. Going to smaller carb increases air-velocity, changes resonance frequencies and reduces this triple-fueling effect.
Accusing the factory engineers of design screw up? The science involved has bred various paths to "correction"....jet kits, exhaust configs, performance air filters, airbox drilling, airbox cover removal, snorkel removal, complete airbox removal......can be a long, frustrating, experimental process once the "mod' path is chosen.

Back to specific topic.... @59096 whats your intake/exhaust config?
