#631786 caroadstar (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 1999 Roadstar Calif 4 Years, 9 Months ago   My bike has the end plate cut out of the stock exhaust and it sounds real good but it pops on deceleration. Looked at the spark plugs and they are black and a little sooty. I only get 38 MPG which is not good. I get 45 MPG on my 01. Will decreasing the jetting and leaning out the carb stop the popping??   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #631790 jd750ace (User) Front toward enemy Platinum Boarder Posts: 18763 Re:1999 Roadstar Calif 4 Years, 9 Months ago   The popping could easily be caused by an air leak combined with a rich jetting setup. You did not tell us anyhing about what your problem bike is, what your intake is, or what your jetting is, so it's pretty hard to even venture guesses.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #631798 blue_star (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6570 Re:1999 Roadstar Calif 4 Years, 9 Months ago   from NE Louisiana. Sounds like you are too rich. If it still has the AIS, you could be getting the popping from that or an intake or exhaust leak.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #631799 Martorious (User) 02 Road Star in Central Indiana!

Others smarter than me will jump in here, but I think you will want to remove the AIS. My understanding is that with the baffles cut out there is not as much back pressure resulting in more air moving than designed for making for a lean condition. The AIS is designed to add air to the exhaust to permit a more thorough burn. Something to do with meeting emissions standards. With a freer flowing exhaust the AIS becomes unnecessary. Dang, I type too slow.   Logged     Last Edit: 2013/05/13 19:18 By Martorious.   02 Road Star I have never met a man so ignorant that I could not learn something from him. -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer (1564-16   The administrator has disabled public write access. #631809 ultrastar (Moderator) We Call Her Big Red (Secretariat) 110 Big Bore Moderator Posts: 9536 Re:1999 Roadstar Calif 4 Years, 9 Months ago   caroadstar from Hollister Ca   Logged     Last Edit: 2013/05/13 19:26 By ultrastar.   My Rides   The administrator has disabled public write access. #631812 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first.
