Every once and awhile I hear my bike backfire, especially when I roll the throttle back. I am running 87 Octane fuel in it, if that matters.

Is the backfiring "bad" for the bike, will it damage it? I don't think the backfiring is a result of the low octane I put in the tank, but I could be wrong.

Any thoughts?
