#21902 Blackroadie (User) If it ain't broke, You ain't ridin' hard enuf ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1816 PMS adjust 1 Year, 7 Months ago   I've been playing around with a couple different set's of pipes. The first set did great with the carb left alone... today I put a set of cobra classic slashcuts on. The bike still runs great, but it started popping on decel a little. Not to bad but enuf to bug ya. Is the pms what I need to adjust to get rid of it? I think thats what I've heard a few here say before.   Logged     2004 Midnite Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #21903 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10754 Re:PMS adjust 1 Year, 7 Months ago   If you don't have the AIS disabled you will not be able to eliminate the popping. Turn it out 1/4 turn at a time. You should be able to get most of it out.

I use a one sided stethoscope made from 2ft of vacumn line. Put one end in your ear and probe around the exhaust with the other end. If you have a leak you will hear a loud chirping noise(honest). Be careful not to don't burn yourself. My 05R didn't pop with or without the AIS. PMS is out 2 turns. Hope this helps.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #21947 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10754 Re:PMS adjust 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Thanks for the stethoscope tip carey. I've got one lying around that I use to pinpoint noises but never thought of using it for the exhaust.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1816 Re:PMS adjust 1 Year, 7 Months ago   Thanks for all the info guys... good idea Carey 'bout the scope'. I did put new gaskets on with each set, it might just be a little tightning that needs done. I'll check it out.   Logged     2004 Midnite Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access.
