Hello,

I have an 06 XL1200L with Vance & hines pipes. It has the stage one intake and thats about it. I got the bike with 1000 mi. and the upgrades were already done. My Sporty runs great except for the fact that when I leave off the throttle it pops a little. I had the problem dam near solved and some how, it went the other way. I'm not a mechanical wizz so I am at your mercy. The air mixture screw on the carb has been exposed, so I've played around a little with it. Any help will be appreciated

Regards, My Sporty thanks you.
