- May 30, 2009, 15:53:43 PMI know, most people don't have to deal with the module, but different pipes impact the efi differently. There was a mag article where they tested pipes and found a very large range - lean to rich - simply due to the brand/style of pipe.
Mine are Bubs Big Willys... not many folks have those. I removed all that stuff and plated off the reed valves, no marbles.
On a rare occasion I hear from someone with a similar problem. The module fixes the problem without much screwing around. My Cobra 2000 worked out of the box.
Cheers.

- May 29, 2009, 11:30:19 AMInteresting Chief.......On my 1500 the EFI is stock with my Vance & Hines Longshots, but I did have to marble the reed valve to get rid of the popping.

- May 29, 2009, 10:59:17 AMActually, the 1500 is fuel injected and for MOST 1500's the EFI will compensate for the pipe change. But all pipes are not created equal in that regard. I had to add a FI module (like TFI, PCIII, Cobra) to mine due to the excessive decel backfire/popping.
On the 800, you will likely have to rejet, I believe. But again, it will be pipe based. You can try without then rejet if needed.

- May 28, 2009, 15:58:29 PMDon't know about the 800, but the 1500 is so restricted by the stock exhaust that when you open it up with better exhaust you don't need to rejet. It kind of balances it out.

- May 28, 2009, 13:33:50 PMI'm thinking of switching out my exhaust on my 06, 800. Both Hard Krome and Roadhouse offer pipes that will fit the 800. Any suggestions from anybody? bjw

- May 23, 2009, 22:00:26 PMA few companies have the tips (search for exhaust tips or exhaust end caps on most of the motorcycle websites) you can buy seperately, but I don't know the pipe diameters. A little investigative work would probably get you the answer. And remember, the part doesn't know what bike you're putting it on. If it's the right diameter, it can be made to fit.
