Looking for ideas as to why 07 RSV with 10,000 miles has been popping when shifting up and when getting off the throttle. Just changed plugs with NKG's and bored out catalytic converter out of RK slip on's. Also removed the middle plate so you can see thru each pipe front to back. Gas milege is still the same, idles fine but get that pop sound. Was running 91 0ctane and just put in 87 octane and it was less today on a 50 mile ride. Any ideas or imput appreciated. Thanks Brian D.

Your mods increased the air flow resulting in a slightly lean condition which causes the popping. To fix it you will need to richen up the fuel delivery.

Check for an article from Goose about being grateful for still having his AIS installed as it helped him find a prob with his engine.. it MAY lead you to find what's wrong with your bike.. could be anything from a weak/dead coil to a bad plug..

Best of luck..
