Posts: 29	POPPING AFTER DRAG PIPE INSTALL 08/01/10 at 18:40:02 I just put some blue collar bobber pipes on my girlfriends and now the bike seems to pop a bit. Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to rejet or can I somehow adjust the mixture screws? What about putting a baffle in? Any suggestions on what baffles will work best? Thanks

You could go back to stock,, orrejet, or baffle the BCB pipe, BUt why BUY the thing just to choke it back to the flow rate of stock?

will need to retune it regardless if u rejet or not. also its a fact of life with those bikes that it will always gurgle or poot when you start messing with rich/lean. if your more then three turns out with the mixture screw then you will need to rejet. rejetting is easy even a caveman can do it Grin

this thread has great pix and you can figure out where they go.

How can i tell if my mixture screw is more then 3 turns out? Should I screw it all the way in and see how far it goes? I guess since it's backfiring it's running too lean. What way to I need to turn to enrighten the carb? Sorry for all the stupid questions I'm just a bit nervous working with carbs since they are so precise.

Count as you go in so you can back it out the same amount.
