Pop with Thundermax
I have a Thundermax installed on my 07 EG Classic. I recently went to the 0717 firmware and 500 miles later it still has decel pop and averages 39 mpg with one person riding easy. I had decel pop before also. I haveVance and Hines True Dual head pipes, Wild Pig Mufflers with 1.75 baffle, and an Arlen Ness Big Sucker Kit. Anyone got any ideas?

RE: Pop with Thundermax
Call Zippers they will help ya.
Are ya doing many little rides instead of one big one? each ignition on start is a new learning session and if the sessions are set to 5-20% learn, then ya can se where ya need many lil rides. Just pull off stop, off, start and go again..............
Call Zips they will help.

RE: Pop with Thundermax
The updated firmware does work to reduce decel popping. I haven't played with it too much yet. The settings from Zippers were to cut fuel on decel at 2400 rpms and return to normal fueling at 1800 or something. When I decel between those rpm's, no pop. Outside those rpm's and she still pops.

RE: Pop with Thundermax
Same issue here, first ride after install was 50 miles highway and back roads, little bit of decel pop, next ride 400 miles, little less pop, last night 40 miles, a little more pop, most all of this was at speed 70 - 80 mph. Will do some back road short trips today and see what happens. Either way the bike pulls strong and is running better than pre install. BTW after first ride the MPG was 41, refuilled last night and got 36, could be me just getting on it pretty heavy on acceleration from stops and going down the road at speed just to feel the TQ HP difference with butt dyno. We will see.

Also wondering that if you update the firmware do you need to re-load the map you are using and does the learning start over?

RE: Pop with Thundermax
Mine was e-mailed from Zippers. (version45_08-16-07) Updating the firmware will not adversely effect your basemap or the "learning" that has already taken place.
Thanks CowboyGlide, I'll try your numbers and see what happens.
