So I have a '12 and just installed a DanMoto Carbon GP slip on. This is the ONLY modification I have made to this bike. I have been scouring the forums and anything I can find, have extremely limited knowledge of motors and mechanic skills, however, I am picking up a lot of things as a result of this issue.
I rode the bike today for the first time with the new slip on. It was very cold this morning, and I instantly noticed that there was a massive amount of popping coming from the exhaust during decal. It became worse as the exhaust heated up. When I rode home, it was around 70 degrees, and the popping was worse, not only on Decel, but also when i clutched to shift it would pop each time.
I am learning that this, likely, means I am running lean, but some also say I could be running rich. Before the mod the bike was super poppy, but i also feel like i ran better in colder weather, since the warmer the weather, the higher the RPMs at the same speed. (Running at 80 mph I would run at 10,000rpm in colder weather, and 11,000 to 12,000 in warmer weather.) This, from what I understand is an indication that I was running rich.
Now, with all that said, my question to anyone out there is, how can I (without removing the Kleen Air System, because I've become aware that it is illegal and will keep me from passing inspection, not to mention has the potential to cause severe issues) eliminate the popping coming from the slip on? I know that the slip on is loose right now where the can meets the cuppler, so i need to seal that, but I can not see that eliminating the issue all together.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
