Default Paranoid?? part two

just dropped off the 06 standard for a dyno touch up, having a little bit of backfiring, not much. I'll have some results later

I had the Stage I done ... dyno and sert ... I kinda expected the backfiring to stop, but I still get some ... what I really don't like is that every now and then I get a loud POP, like a gun shot ... The service folks just kinda shrug their shoulders ...

Good luck with yours ....

You will always get some backfiring no matter what.

If you are talking about an intake POP, you should NEVER have that, not tuned correctly. That is a sick sound.[:'(]

The bike is backfiring through the intake/breather, (POP). Does not sound like an exhaust backfire and does mean something is wrong! Will kinda feel like the bike is going to die, cause it can happen when on the throttle. Feels like you are not getting fuel for a moment and the pressure comes out the intake. NOT NICE!

Ok, fires up a little faster than it did, no backfiring, very few decl pops, new tail lights(the red ones that light up when braking) runs like a scalded dawg. 85 bucks. Having a dealer you trust and does not rape you...PRICELESS!!!
