    Cycleone o-ring pop stopper

    This kit came with the bike when I bought it. It has an orange o-ring, a flat rubber stopper (guessing at what you'd call it) and a metal ring. The ring is about the size of a quarter. I'm having difficulty figuring out how that ring will do anything to stop the o-ring from being blown out...

I adjust the choke between 1500-2000 when its cold every couple seconds it pops. if i adjust the idle up it stops, when it warms up it stops, if i turn off the enrichment and hold the...

    Supertrapp Megaphone 1997 Backfire / Pop issue

    Hello All, I have had an ongoing issue with my 1997 V-Max which “I think” could be related to my installed Supertrapp Megaphone series slip-on exhaust system, but at this point, i'm not sure.... When I first got the bike several years back, the supertrapps where already installed and the...

    Once Again...Exhaust Pop

    Ok, somewhat odd issue. I keep getting popping at the exhaust when riding the bike in the morning. I took off the muffler and am currently running straight header pipes. I warm the bike for ~5 mins in the morning, ride to work about 4miles and popping (sound like little gunshots) slows from...

    Surge and pop just off idle

    My max is a stock 2006 except for Supertrapp slip-ons, and has 7600mi. It runs great everywhere except for just a hair open from idle. It idles great and I can shut the throttle from any rpm with no popping, so I'm reluctant to mess with the idle mixture. If I open it just a hair more the...

    Stumble pop!

    So... I went out for a late night cruise the other night. The air was cool, the roads were empty. It was perfect! Except I had a deceleration pop. This started a week ago when a bunch of us locally got together and did some card tuning and installed some parts. One of the guys had a smaller...

    Fixed my exhaust pop!

    Well, as some may know, I recently got my hindle 4-1 ceramic coated. When I first got the bike, I had an exhaust pop after a good rev of the engine. I took off the exhaust, had it coated and re-installed with all new OEM gaskets and silicone RTV. The leak is gone and no more pop! Seems much...

    Ny exhuast pop (thread re-loacted)

    My exhuast pop (thread re-loacted) At operating temp, when I rev the max to about 6k - for a quick burst, and then release the throttle quickly - I get a single loud pop from my exhaust almost as soon as I release the throttle. I had also mentioned that I thought I might have an exhaust leak -...

    Exhaust pop

    I let my bike warm to operating temperature with choke. Idles fine at around the 1k w/ no choke. When I rev it - it gives me one pop when I get OFF the throttle. So far the only mod I know of is my hindle 4into1. I am wondering if this may be a tune issue... or perhaps an exhaust leak...

    Pop through exhaust

    2000 Max with Super Trap slip-ons, 16,000mi. Was riding today and noticed when you are cruising at any speed I was getting a pop through the exhaust on the left side. No stumble or miss that I could feel. Don't know how to explain really, you had the steady rumble and every so often you...
