I installed the drummer. Let me tell you, when I started this bike up without the muffler and now with the Drummer on here, I don't really hear a difference. It is down right LOUD!

Anyway, I get on it to take it for a test ride and find that when I roll the throttle hard, it sputters, then the power hits. It's quite frightening because it almost threw me off the bike. I tried to check for a leak with some carb cleaner to see if it would bubble, but I didn't see anything.

Do you guys have any suggestions? The muffler valve cable is still installed, so I don't think that's the problem.

By any chance is it wet out? Sounds like bad wires. Could just be a freak thing that it craped out after you put the pipe on. I can't see a muffler causing that kind of performance problem.

Spark plug wires that is. Maybe a fouled plug also.

Actually, it's doing the same thing my EX500 did when I installed the K and N intake.

Are the plugs easy to get to? I never even looked for them.

They are kind of a pain in the ass. the Front cyl is easy. The rear you'll need a swivle extension/socket.

You can get to the rear with just a 3" extension. Be careful when you remove the wire, it's somewhat easy to tear the boot off and that'l take the fitting with it... Bad joo-joo...

Also... Only one topic on this issue would have been good enough : ).

Oh... and...

What RPM?
Just at initial roll on?
Does it sputter up to a certain RPM and then go or does it always sputter initially no matter what RPM you roll on?
If you start from say 2300 and roll on to 50% throttle does it continuously do it?
If you roll it on to 100% does it stop when you get to WOT?

Did you settle the AFV?
