Flames coming out of the exhaust,Help 2 Years, 11 Months ago  
Hello everyone need some advice here,i just installed a set of khrome werks slipons on 2008 Roadstar.(that i got from a clinic member,Thanks Roy)looks cool and sounds really good the only thing is that i am getting popping on the decel and some flames shooting out of the exhaust. I am thinking i need to get it remapped,or do i need one of those power commanders? and am i doing any damage to the bike by riding it? thinking of taking it to the dealer but wanted to check with the real experts first(clinic members) dont want to get hit over the head at the dealer. THANKS to All

Sounds a little like pre ignition too. Sometimes opening up the back end like that will require some jetting changes.

Sounds like the AIS is still operating. Need to bypass/remove it.

It's all about the plugs...

1. Plug up the AIS.
2. Plug in the 02 sensors.

If you have both of those done, then you're just simply unlucky...

Popping on decel is usually due to the AIS if you still have it on.

The flames may also be related to the AIS being connected but I'd think the computer would adjust for an overly rich mix if you O2 sensors are intact.
