Default popping on decel

I just installed a Twobros exhaust on my Honda F4i. I already had a power commander on the bike. I downloaded the appropriate map from Dynojet and took the bike out. The TwoBros exhaust is much higher flow than my stock exhaust and much much louder. I noticed that when I dropped the throttle to shift or decellerate quickly I get a pop every now and then. It isn't consistant or persistant (the bike only pops once sometimes twice, sometimes not at all).

Do I have a problem, or is this normal with high flow exhausts?

maybe its flames coming out your exhaust, i remember i was following a zx10r and everytime he downshifted a burst of flame would shoot out and a pop sound was made

yes, actually it is normal to have that pop. some exhaust have it, some dont. every one i know with a micron has that popping action.

but, i would recommend check on your plugs once in a while. back fire can be a result of few things and faulty plugs is on the top of that list.

have fun.
