There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Muffler "popping" noise

Is there an aftermarket exhaust on it? If there is, then that is probably why you are getting the popping. Check the air filter to see if the previous owner put in a K&N filter (it will be red in colour). If they did, then replace it with an OE air filter and see if that fixes the popping. They may also have a fuel controller on it and it may not be dialled in correctly. The popping is from the fuel mixture being a bit too lean. Unless the bike pops all the time I would not really worry about it.

Let's see..!!
if you have the stock muffler then not likely they did any of the other changes. If you can have it hooked up to the buds system at your dealer there may be some stored code one of which is the o2 sensor. Others may have to do with vaccum lines. The stock muffler hides a lot so it may be that it is wearing out and the sounds are more noticeable...if it's not bad and you know how to shift so it doesn't pop you should be fine...:thumbup:

Time for new Y-pipe gaskets. The one on the right will likely be bad but replace both. Many folks have replaced the BRP gaskets with Honda gaskets because they last longer. Do a search of this site for Honda gaskets, y-pipe gaskets or something like that and the threads you find will give better details and the Honda part number.

What don't you like about the popping sounds? It is not damaging anything whatsoever.
Just stripped my exhaust to do this very job,here's what's left of the left side gasket
I would post the right sided one but it GONE 
here's the Honda one 
I seem to be missing the gasket that connects the Hindle to the Y pipe but I think I would struggle to get a gasket in there as it was pretty tight???

The gasket is in the joint behind the spring. There's one on the left side too.
Thank you Wacky Dan!

Yes I have those Yazz thanks,in the manual there is a third gasket which is the one we were talking about.It is where the Y pipe joins the Hindle in front of the back wheel,on a stock pipe the gasket is there but not on the Hindle which I find strange ????

Have dual Two Bros on mine so can't say about the Hindle. But, I believe in the Maintenance Manual first and foremost. A gasket in any form is there to stop leakage.
Have my Spyder jacked up and parts all over the place right now. When she's back together enough to start her up, will check for exaust leakage at the rear joint by the back tire.
