I recently installed a screaming eage stage 1 ventilator AC, vance and hines straight shot slip ons, and vance and hines fuel pack. I have noticed sometimes i get some poping on decel. Doesn't happen all the time seems like certain RPM's make it do it. Just wondering if its the pipes or if I have a lean condition. Thanks for any suggestions.

 

There's a big downside to the fuelpak - it doesn't eliminate the O2 sensors. This means the bike will try to drag the AFR back to stock (lean) in the closed loop area (cruising & low RPM).

I'd suggest fitting some Xieds to pull down the AFR in the closed loop area.

 

strange thing is i notice it worse at higher RPM's when I am twisting on it.

 

I would also retourque the exhaust bolts. Mine had a little popping the other day and I retorqued them and no more popping. They were real loose also!

 

I have been told that is very common for V&H shots. I have had mine Dyno's twice and I still get them on decel. I do not worry about it.

 

Fuelpak is your issue. PCV is what you need.

 

Popping adds character, haha. It's a hawg. Run it. I've got stage 1 with no fuel management and no issues. I personally think you could have skipped the fuel pack and spent that $$ elsewhere based on my experience with my machine.

At any rate its nothing major. Ride it like you stole it!

 

i got a deal on the fuel pak and slip ons together. Plan to get a pc at some point just doing it cheaply for now.

 

Cool bober! Nice lookin ride btw! Enjoy it

 

Hey OZ Can you tell me, you did pipes and air filer, but no programming or fuel change? how does it run compared to before? I have V&H pipes on my 06 WG and wanna do a airfilter but not the fuel change yet.
Let me know. (BTW From Ct as well)
