Hello fellow riders.

I have an 06 XL1200L. I have Vance & Hines pipes. Stage one jet in the carb. All elce is stock. When I release my throttle after a 20 mile ride I get a mild popping out of the pipes. Seems like unburned fuel exploding in the pipes. Has anyone elce had this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you're running a little rich, no problem, better to run rich than lean.
