Just wondering has anyone had this happen after changing the muffler ( Jardine ) on my 08 xb iv'e noticed the revs take longer to drop back to idle. Also has anyone ran the Jardine with the insert, does this help with poping ? |

sounds like you're running lean and in need of a tps reset. That's most likely causing the hang up on the rpm's. Although I've never heard of that symptom after just a muffler change. I don't believe the insert will help with the popping issue. Again, most likely running lean. |

That what i thought but the 08 apparently re sets the tps ! |

I had this happen but it was due to an open air box conversion. Did you modify the air box when you installed the exhaust? |

Around 1000 rpm but the problem is when i back off to idle the revs drop normal to around 2000 rpm and then take a few seconds to go back to idle ! |

Try lowering your idle a smidge. See if that cures it. |

I got your problem, and it's usually caused by the idle not set right. These bikes are really sensitive to the idle setting. Try setting the idle just a hair lower and see what that gets you. |

I'm with Glitch,my 07 xb12 had the same problem after a Special OPS installation. Lowered the RPM a little,to 1000 - 1100 RPM. All's well now. |

Make sure its up to temp first. Beat it around the block a few times THEN adjust the idle just a TINY bit |

Apparently on the 08 there is no idle screw adjustment it is set by the ecu any thoughts? |
