  Ok yesterday went to the tech session and did a valve adjustment and installed the back off plates finally after doing the pair valve thing.In order to do the valve adjestment had to undo the front exaust to remove the cover to get to the timing area.After getting the thing back together made a noise it was not making before and thought it was an exaust leak so tightened the pipe a little more.On the way home would pop between shifting and a bit more than it used to on decel.After getting home replaced the front crush gaasket but still making that weird noise from the engine any ideas?I sent Steve a pm.It ran great seemes a bit quicker on excell and no missing at any speed you run just the poppping between gears.

If you put in BACK off plates, maybe they backed off! 

Did you put high-temp sealant on the block off plate? My front plate leaked and caused decel pops until I sealed it good.

 That good be it and it is an easy start anyway.

  A little permatex gasket around each one now quiet asa mouse.I did notice the front block off plate did not look right before removing it and that is where the noise was comming from did the back as well.

Good deal! Glad it was that simple.

Larry,

Glad you got it fixed, 'cause when you took off yesterday and started decelerating, I heard the loud popping.

Good news Larry, usually the little things that get ya 

[larry_357]

 I am glad that took care of it was not looking forward to pulling all the other things back off the bike.It is pretty easy to take the tank off and reinstall it in a jiffy.

 Just had the chance to take it out for a run and it ran great a little popping on decel but was doing that before and did not feel like fooling with the carb today.Actually did not seem to be as bad as before but I can live with it.

Larry, if your engine is properly tuned you should be getting some deceleration popping; just not a whole lot of loud popping.

T-Rex said that back in '01-'02 and having ridden for years in a deer infested area, I LOVE A GOOD POP every now and then!

Let me guess... you let my daddy Gumbo work on your bike eh?

[larry_357]

 Gabe your right he helped but did a good job along with Steve.A good thing to remember is if you install the block off plates use a little high temp sealant.When I went to remove the front plate noticed one side did not seem to fit like it should have so did both with the permatex.I don't mind a little poppinh and in the hill country it comes in handy.

Actually, mine is properly tuned, and I don't get any popping at all!
