I have read elsewhere that this isn't a problem providing it doesn't pop when applying the throttle, and mine is fine while holding speed or accelerating. Nevertheless, when the thing is through it's one year warranty, I'll take it to a specialist tuner I trust to make sure it's running as sweetly as possible.

These bikes are tuned really lean from the factory. Any changes to the intake or exhaust can further lean out the mixture. A proper tune will get your bike running better and cooler and will get rid of the decel pop.

Never had a PV, I had a Micro EFI that stayed on the Sport. I like that the FP3 literally plugs in and you're done. The Micro EFI was a bit of a pain, I wouldn't want it on this bike.

The FP3 doesn't have the flexibility of the PV, but for me did a good job (Stage 1), and couldn't be any easier or quicker to use.

Nice to hear. All I want is a good ride with no popping. Maybe next year I'll throw on a Big Sucker since I'll already have a tuner.

PV2 is the way to go.
