The motor made a big bang today while starting and then started it up fine ran well all day and now third gear doesnt have the same sound. Dont get me wrong runs still pretty well but doesnt fell exacly the same. What can it be?
Spark plugs?

Could you tell if the bang (backfire?) came from the exhaust or airbox? What sounds different about 3rd gear?

exacly it was a backfire from the exaust, 3rd gear seems like it revs hight fast

If you've had just one backfire, I'd just keep an eye (ear) on things. Not sure about your added boost in 3rd. Anything happen to/with the bike lately?

If you had a plug backfire, it's usually a telltale sign that one or more of the plugs are on their way out if the bike is a decent state of tune.

Check the condition of your plugs.
