    I have an 04 plate speedmaster that has always popped on deceleration.

    I did have tors on the bike until recently, when I switched to a set of trident exhausts. The reason for the switch is I wanted something a little louder than the tors, but not too excessive. I like the raspier sound of the trident pipes.

    Anyway, I purchased an air injection removal kit, but after reading the instructions and watching a YouTube video, I realise that my bike has already had the injection kit removed...doh!

    So, why is my bike still popping so badly? I have taken it to a garage who put it on a rolling road and said its running fine. But personally I would prefer it not to pop.

    I think it must have been rejected at some point as the original screws on the carb have been replaced with Allen bolts.

    I know nothing about mechanics..so I am a little stumped, especially as the garage said its fine.

    Any ideas? Or anyone know of a garage in somerset that can look and possibly rejet?

    Apologies....just realised I should have posted this in the speedmaster/america forum...

    But any replies appreciated...especially on recommendations for a garage or tuning specialist in the mid somerset area.

    Thanks

    Doesn't sound as if it's been rejetted correctly or you have an air leak at one of the joints.

    If there are any leaks in the exhaust system (particularly at the joints) you'll get popping on over-run.
