    Hi everybody I just bought a 07 xb12r yesterday and had a tuning question. I'm not sure what all is done to the bike except it has a jardine exhaust pipe on it. Here is we're my question is, while riding yesterday the bike would backfire/ pop when ever I close the throttle fast.. If I slowly close the throttle no popping.

    I don't know anything about tuning or messing with the ECM but I do plan on adding a right side scoop so I figured I should start learning, so any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    Deceleration popping. Can be due to a rich or lean condition. In my experience, it is almost always a lean decel on Buells.

    I have a Jardine RT-1. Did the same thing. Replaced the ECM with an EBR race one and farts went away.
