Backfiring

Has any of you experienced this? Several times now in my 1,200 miles I've ridden my SVTC it has backfired. It is always when I accelerate from a stop and change into 2nd, as I re-apply the throttle the front cylinder backfires, I lose power for a split second and the all is well. It has probably done it 4 or 5 times. I wonder if it is fuel management.

Never had such a thing happen before. Even before I had to have my valve train replaced due to a failed lifter and cam damage, I never had backfiring. Just a noisy engine and not great gas mileage.
You need to have the dealership check that out.
