OK so checked it out some more. Seems I have a Big Sucker A/C


Nothing special under the seat...


So I am guessing I have a stage 1 download. Probably just get the dealer to check next time fatty goes for a service. Is there any benefit in gettng a Power Commander or Fuel Pak etc? If I did get one, is it going to mess things up seeing as it may already have the stage1?

Thanks again everyone for your help and advice

Dave

A little of that minor 'popping' when letting off the gas is no big deal...

I have a little on my bike, and it has a SERT and has been dyno tuned. You can get rid of it altogether by pulling in on the clutch and taking the load off the engine.

But anyway, it's nothing to worry about...

Short open ended pipes are prone to popping on deceleration. Be sure to check your exhaust for air leaks as this will cause it too.
