If it's backfiring, then it's most likely running too lean. Too rich and they blubber and miss, but not backfire. Have you changed the exhaust system or replaced the stock air filter with something having less resistance? If so, that could be the problem. Did it start this all of a sudden? If so I'd look for a vacuum leak somewhere between the cylinder head and the carbs and any vacuum lines running elsewhere. If there's a place you suspect, sometimes squirting WD 40 or oil on the spot will temporarily close the leak and make it run better. Does it have a vacuum operated fuel petcock? The older Kawasakis were notorious for the diaphram developing a leak and #2 carb would suck gas from it at small throttle openings when the vacuum was high. They'd miss at idle but run ok with more throttle.
When does it backfire? On decelleration? If so it's definately running too lean. If at higher speeds, then it could need a larger main jet if you've messed with the intake or exhaust system. If at idle or slightly above when warmed up, you can adjust the idle jet screws to give it more fuel. Some control fuel while others control air, so you need to find out which.

the 1st tigers with the smaller 800 ccengine have been slightly underpowered for off street use, by way of the time the 955i became outfitted the bike had lost all off street attraction. the hot 800 tiger is extra off street oriented, yet why bypass so massive 15 miles an afternoon each way some off roading unload the F650 definite it is in simple terms too underpowered and over weight; what some DR400? it is extra suitable off street than the F650 or the tiger or GS and the faster 350 version became ridden for the period of russia by way of Austin Vince some years earlier Charlie and Ewan have been given there. till you would be masking extensive mileage why fee your self £one million,000's in maintenance expenses.

its fuel injected so discount carb probs.start with the basics like checking the injectors are delivering properly.a bad/dirty tank of petrol might be to blame.your fuel pump might be a bit dodgey,I have a 2001 955i daytona and the fuel pump is a bit hit and miss at the best of times!Brit bikes,don't ya just love 'em.p.s. take it to a grease monkey!

Could be caused from main jet O-ring deterioration if it has them.Could also be a defective float bowl needle and seat not seating well.

sounds like your carbs need balancing.
