Popping during engine braking
2006 heritage pciii porker jacknives
I get alot of popping when I shift down and release the throttle.
Nothing though If I pull in the clutch.
Only on deceleration. Baffles are in. Map is correct.
2 questions.
1. Why does it do this? Is it normal?
2. Is it bad for my motor?
Besides this she runs perfect.
Cheers!

Small amounts of unburned fuel will ignite inside the exhaust during deceleration and cause the "pop"..When you pull in the clutch lever the engine is drawing in less air and reduces the unburned fuel going into the exhaust...It shouldn't cause damage.

I went into the mountains today and had a lot of popping going down hills decelerating in gear. I think that's just the way it is.
