if it's a new exhaust sometimes you need to re-torque the bolts. they do come loose give a bad seal and there you go. unless it did that from day one with the exhaust
I assume that was in response to my question? I bought the bike used with 485 miles, with everything on it but have the original dealer shop reports that said all work was done with 7 miles on the bike- now has 500 on it.
Does the "rain cover" on the A/C give any restriction that would richen it up?
how bad is the decel popping? You'll most likely always have "some"..but if it's really bad, then most likely the dealer didn't do a very good job tuning it, and i'd start pricing out some after market solutions..
does it happen every time you start the bike? because right there, if it does it while you're starting it, that leads me further to think it's a bad tune
New grips will be here Tuesday. Hopefully that will tide me over for the next week or two until the new pipes get here. I'm thinking about doing the transmission side cover before the pipes get here so I have less to do. I'm assuming that I'll need to drain the transmission before I pop the old cover is that right? I know with the stock pipes still on I'll need to temporarily remove the exhaust bracket that's in place. Looks doable otherwise. I guess I'd just like less to do at one time.

You don't neccessarily have to drain the transmission. When I changed out that cover on mine, I just said screw it, put a cut-in-half milk jug underneath it and then took off the cover. It drained itself. There will be a little fluid that runs onto the frame and stuff, but it is real easy to clean off.
I took mine off with a little "L" shaped allen wrench. I did not take off the pipes but instead, I just loosend up the exhast brackets and such. It can be done. I did it. It is a major pain in the ***. But it may not be as big of a pain in the *** as removing the exhaust first.
