2007 1200C backfiring issues?

It's just a possibility, but if the old filter was clogged and restricting the air flow, that would create a slightly richer mixture. A clean new filter with better flow would cause a leaner mixture and as a result the pops on decel.
Note: I was assuming above, that the poster was referring to your oil filter (as part of the oil change) and not the air filter. If that was the case, it would make sense.

I'm no mechanic but it seems you shouldn't have to adjust the fuel mixture simply by installing a new air filter?? I'd still be interested in knowing if it ran better by re-installing the old filter.
But, like I said, I'm no mechanic.

I put some new plugs in it last night and put some decent miles on it. The plugs are just way to white so I'm pretty sure it's just running too lean. I'm probably just going to end up buying a PC with the correct to map cause I really don't wanna smoke the ivalves with it running this lean.
Anybody else install similar slip ons w/o a PC and have the same backfiring results?

I found a temporary solution until my power commander comes in.
I wrapped about a six inch piece of duct tape on the back side of the air filter to restrict it a little bit (simulate old filter) and took it for about a 50 mile ride and it worked. Almost all of the backfiring is gone and the hesitation and jerky feeling is also gone.
It's just a temporary fix for a couple of days but it should work for now.
