Exhaust Popping

What causes the exhasut to 'pop' while at idle? Running slightly rich. Timing is spot on. No air leaks in the intake.

thanks

Did you check/adjust the valves?

Yes, but I'm wondering if I have a stuck or damaged one. I'm going to check them hot.

I'm with Bryan on this one.  Had the same problem on my 750 when I first rebuilt it.  Turns out I didn't have the headers seated all the way in and clamped down tight enough.
