Default some pics of my bike and a question inside (f4i)

just wanted to she some pics after a wash and new exhaust and mirror install, oh and some custom gauge work too.

my question is does my bike need re-mapping or a power commander with my new exhaust, it smells like the bike is running rich and i am getting some "popping" while decelerating in gear, not alot just every once in a while.

enjoy

future mods will be: gold powder coated rims, rear sets. carbon front and rear fenders

Re-mapping would make a difference in smoothness and throttle response for sure. When i re-mapped my F4i i felt like the power delivery got more smooth. I also noticed that the pops got more consistant on decel.
Good looking F4i, i like the solo tail and those mirrors.

Nice bike. What brand wheel tape is that. Good color match.

if it's just a slip-on specifically designed for the f4i, remapping is unnecessary.

i bought the bike in april, those were the tires on the bike. since im kinda new to bikes can you shed some light on the tire situation.

thanks for the compliments too.

i feel the exhaust may have a leak because it feels "loose" where the can slips over the muffler and the two exhaust springs hold it on. does the can need to be shoved on more or is there another way to do it.
