Paranoia or actually something???
Paranoia or actually something???
2008 FXDB WITH 15k
thought I was hearing slight pops on acceleration while riding today. Here is a video of it on the back patio in neutral You can slightly hear an occasional pop while holding the throttle.
checked plugs, wires, oil level, and cleaned heavy breather (se w/o breather) and cupped the exhaust pipe and didn't notice anything drastic from pipes. Can't feel any cracks in it either but didn't remove the vh big radius 2+2 shields.
stage 1 SE with pc3. I have decel pops and haven't been able to fix it by remapping so the decals are "normal". I have yet to successfully alter the map by +5 and do increments as others have suggested and it's due to my understanding of the software I'm sure.
Anyways just curious if I'm being paranoid or not since I have an order of parts for suspension, plugs, wires, and fairing I want to do. Just making sure I get EVERY thing I can in one shipment.
Also suggestions on other maintenance parts welcomed for 15k that HD does not tell us lol
thanks guys

They are black with no actual soot that can be removed. So running rich. Called dynojet about my pc3 and they had me change my range of 2k -6.5k rpm to 10 and get my throttle at 0% while idling.
Buying ngk copper plugs tomorrow to swap out and I'll check them in 1k miles or so. Bike runs with less popping though lol
