Choke on One Exhaust

Hi guys - a quick question for the learned!

As an owner of a new 2008 T100 I was surprised to find the exhaust seems to run more / louder on the right side when I'm warming the bike up with the choke out. I had expected it to be evenly balanced.

Do I have a truly unique Bonnie or is this common for good reason?

Thanks
Mike

PS - great site; big fan; lots of stuff here that would take years to learn first hand! Thx

who knows, it may have to do with the carbs being out of synchronization, or the idle mixtures being tuned differently, or it may be nothing at all.

The pipes are linked together, under the front of the motor, by a crossover pipe. So it's not a true 2-2, it's more like a 2-1-2, so both cylinders breathe out of both pipes.
