New Bohemia, VA | Thanks JJ and a big thanks to Lloyd, a genius of sorts.
You've made it make sense to all that other stuff I've learnt about motors through the years. These V-Twins are of a differenct bred to me and this EFI is funky, but you've confirmed my issues without making me think I'm crazy. |

Brighton, TN | I like the write up, but I can't wait to see how the masses handle his criticism of THEIR THROTTLE ETIQUETTE. I agree with him. I have had the same problem with the IAC but haven't seen anyway to fix it, other than his IAV. I got a little better response out of it after cleaning, but not really fixing the problem. I do wish the Victory team would have fixed these machines that have the backfire problem. I have never had the problem. I tried to do the blap the throttle and then close and open it again, etc. and almost had the machine die. But as Lloyd says I don't normally do that. Glad he took the time to write it down.

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | Well, Lloyd presents the WHY of popping very well. And thankfully - he agrees with me that it is something that can be overcome by the DRIVER.
I have mentioned in previous posts that my Stage 1 VV popped right from day 1 - and I overcame that with driving habits - very quickly.
When I had it KevinXinated the popping returned - and I have again adjusted, and now get NO popping. Or RARELY - when I get lazy in traffic.
So because the popping/backfire is not an issue with me - I have never spent a minute messing with gaskets, bolts, tuning and all that stuff.
As Chris would say: I'm just sayin' .....

San Antonio, TX | One thing I might have missed is an answer to this question.
Does the occasional pop or backfire cause any real damage? |

It causes the wife unit to hit me, but with no real damage. Wait, are we talking the same thing? |
