    Default Maybe not?

    I watched a video where you are told to start and run the Spyder for about 5 - 10 minutes (drive it around, put it through its paces), then shut it off and walk away (get the key away) for about 10 minutes. Then repeat a couple times. This gives nanny some chances to tweak things. This was for changing the muffler. Not sure if true, but I saw it on the Internet! Maybe try it now a few times before you put the muffler on, let nanny catch up gradually?

    I have a friend with the aftermarket exhaust and stock air breather without the juice box. I believe with the air mod and the open exhaust you might want to get one. My wife's bike has the hmf exhaust with the juice box with stock air box. It is faster than my buddies bike. But my stock bike will hang with my wife and I am faster than my buddies also. I did remove the rubber pieces in front of the air box of my wife which gives it more air.

    That's what I have except I'm putting on a tailgunner widow maker exhaust so do you get any popping or missing

    Default Depends....

    There is some but pulling in the clutch and flipping the throttle clears the accumulated gases causing the backfire/popping. Don't know about the semi automatic but as far as the missing...none of that and it runs like a scalded ape...
