Default popping

This spring and summer I had the friggin popping (just drives me nuts), took scoot back twice to Eastern and they tweeked the PCIII. Never really solving the issue, BUT since the weather has turned cooler/cold, the popping is history.

Sorry I don't have my map to attach (currently on road).

any ideas?

If you are talking about popping on deceleration, the reason it doesn't pop in the cold weather is that the air is denser. You need to bring it back to your machanic and have him richen the exhaust up. The popping should disappear.

Have you had your exhaust richened lately? Don't you wish everybody did?

I think you meant the mixture here, no?

ord sgt may have a point there about those muffler bearings too.

The '08's come with sealed lifetime muffler bearings. Of course I don't know if that means my life, the bikes life or the muffler bearings life.
