FZ1, If one were to restrict the airflow, say in the form of putting a db killer in the exhaust, might that help the popping?
I also ran my finger inside the exhaust tipp, and did have some buildup. From that, would you have any suggestions as to whay might be taking place??
I am trying to do all maintenance myself and the carbs, a little bit hesitant, are next inline.
Thanks,

Popping occurs because of unburnt fuel in the system... this happens for several reasons, but #1 is that the bike is tuned to run very rich at low RPM... this is an easy fix... just a matter of changing the float height... I'd shoot for about 13-13.5 mm ... as a good base line...
Man, 3 weeks already....I've been trying to do many things to my Gen1 and fighting for the bits and pieces all the way along. But you did give me one avenue to think about with the popping and I'm going to look into the air filter.
The only K&N filters I've seen are in Ivans Pod Kit. Is there an application where you don't have to do the kit, and is there a way to increase the overall airflow with the factory filter box??
Thanks,

I don't know how I missed this one... and if I had the power, I'd move it.... but... yeah...
Get a K&N filter for the box... and there are some airbox mods you can do...
Cut a 1\\" hole in the top of the box... directly above the snorkel....
then, cut the snorkel in half lengthwise... removing the section that points towards the carbs...
that's the airbox mod...
after that, I'd recommend a Factory Pro Jet kit and Timing advance.
4:12AM!! I thought I didn't sleep. Go to bed man!!
but after talking to a local shop, and them wanting over 280.00 to rejet the carbs and then another 60.00 to sync, I'm going to give it a stab myself less the syncing.
