My POP STOPPER arrived today $13.00 total cost of the stopper and shipping (shipping was $9.00). It took approximately 20 minutes to install.
As for the ECM (Thunder –Max) prior to installing the Pop Stopper I cleared all the learned fuel adjustments and idle control adjustments (IAC) and re initiated the ECM. Then I proceeded to install the Pop Stopper. After installation I started the bike and ran the auto (IAC) also I enabled the decal fuel cut and changed the default setting to High fuel cut to 2272 rpm and the low fuel cut to 1792 rpm which is what was recommended by Zippers tech rep.
I don’t think that I needed to clear all the adjustments however I wanted to start fresh. Next I took the bike out for a 50 mile ride. Wow what a difference, the bike runs fantastic, the difference is night and day with no decal popping.
I feel it prudent to mention that the left side exhaust the side installed the pop stopper on in; exhaust flow has been drastically reduced to the point the muffler does not get hot only warm. I could hold my hand on it after riding 50 miles. I also noticed a fair amount of condensation dripping out near the end cap bolt only on the left side. My concern is the muffler will not get hot enough to get rid on the condensate which will lead to internal rust.
As for the sound it still sounds good, but different, the decreased flow on the left side has changed the rumble to where it sounds like a 2 into 1.
Over all I am happy however in the future I my change the exhaust to True duals. I really didn’t realize the cross over pipe would have such an effect with free flowing mufflers. I plan on putting a couple hundred miles on this bike during the weekend. So far I am really pleased with how the THUNDER MAX is working significant change/improvements in 50 miles and should continue to tune as I ride.
I have added some pictures of the pop stopper, not to insult anyone but the device (pop stopper) is new to me
