after reading all about the popping with aftermarket pipes/mufflers. i decided to jump on the bandwagon. here is a step by step pix to do the job.(FOG approved!!)

[maverick9611]

nice writeup... i also plan on doing this "mod"

btw, what size fuel filters should we use?? as in... what size are the stock fuel hoses?

 

[maverick9611]

fuel line is 5/16" or a metric size(might be a FOG answer)i think a seperate new thread should be started on this. many peeps use different styles/sizes. i'm using a 1/4"pancake style non seethru filter.all that is inside is a small piece of mesh to block trash but maintain max flow. (hard to find a 5/16"filter that was compact)i plan on going with a 150 next year. same style nonsethru(i don't care to try to look at something that's nestled in between my carbs .i'll replace once a year)their are many different types of filter mediums like paper,bronze,mesh and even foam. i prefer the mesh/screen type for max flow. here is a link for the 150's free shipping too

don't forget to keep a spare piece of fuel line with ya. in case your filter clogs and strands ya
i've wondered if "necking down from 5/16 to 1/4 on filter inlet/outlet would affect performance but it runs fine

i saw that ya said hoses its really hose. puta filter on the larger hose. the smaller line (1/4")is a vacuum line that hooks to left carb

^ +1 to that filter. Same style i had and i never had a flow problem.

 

[maverick9611]

i.ve heard the bronze element fuel filters clogs real quick and flow is compromised.

Sorry , but I love the pop. Don't know why either.

 

[maverick9611]

i did too rust but i wanna see or hear what all the hoopla is about. i should have mine back on the road by the weekend. pop u later!!

 

[illusion]

hmm, is it harmful to the engine or anything if it's popping?

 

[maverick9611]

illusion chk popping on deaceleration thread for more detailed answers on this subject. this thread deals with doing the mod

+1 popping is the best part! I wish there was a mod to make it pop more

 

[maverick9611]

well stevo i just got my bike back on the road. i did the pop mod and to a point it works but under hard acceleration if if ya close the throttle it will still pop to a certain degree. i assume this is unburned fuel igniting in the header pipe?anyways i might change it back. to pop or not pop that is the question. i'll take the pop!!!

 

[knightslugger]

i assume this is unburned fuel igniting in the header pipe?

or somewhere...  most likely the headers but it could be anywhere...
