RE: Popping Problem?
I'm going to look into the FuelPak, but I still think the dealer should be responsible for getting it right since I paid them $150 to do the download. They are the ones who suggested it. When I first looked into it they said I would need the SE Race Tuner, but then later told me that the download would be all I would need unless I was planning on doing more extensive mods down the road.

RE: Popping Problem?
I don't know anything about the popping because I haven't put mine on yet, but I did talk to the service people at my local stealer the other day and asked them about just the download when I put the short shots on mine and they said no way. They said that the download wouldn't really help that I would have to have the fuelpak. He said if it wasn't fuel injected then I wouldn't have to do anything and if it was slip-ons they could just hook it up the the computer and tune it but since it was the full exhaust being changed that I would absolutely have to buy the fuelpak or the SE race tuner. If you want the fuelpak I'll send you a link where you can get it for 195 with shipping. It's close to 300 at the stealer.

I had the same problem with my bike, and increasing the gas slightly at zero throttle solved the problem. I have a PC III, and went with that since I did not see any maps that matched my bike's setup.

Discoloration isn't a good sign imo, it might be related.

I just noticed that my pipes are dark blue where they come out of the motor. The heat shields cover most of it. I wonder if this is related....?

RE: Popping Problem?
Pipes bluing has been known to possibly be caused by running lean, so it might be related. I sent you a PM.

RE: Popping Problem?
Running a little lean can cause the pop... an exhaust leak can do the same...
Unbaffled exhaust can pronounce the symptoms also...
The popping for the most part and to a certain extent is always present...
I don't know that I have ever seen a bike with chrome pipes not blue at the heads...
The only thing thatwould concern me would be if it is an exhaust leak at the head... if that's not the case, then I wouldn't worry about it...
This is just from my experience so take it for what it's worth...
