    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What is like popping and what color are your park plugs?? :)
 
hard to describe, but its like air trying to come out of the pods, i took them off and they are new and clean, i'll check the plugs
 
They are probably the EMGO filters. Those were never intended to be oiled. It could just be excess oil being sucked in causing your problem. Now that you've oiled them leave it and see if the popping stops. If not pull the filters off and wash them in a strong solution of dish detergent to get rid of the oil.
 
I've heard the noise you're refering to when there was a leak in the induction boots as well.
 
Just talk to local shop, he said these were junk and it's better to put original box on with the lid off

I dont buy that . maybe they are cheap but not junk. Lots of the guys use them. He just wants to sell you parts or labor ill bet. Some of these shop guys think that they become a source for all knowledge just because they work in a shop. Most of them are just motorcycle assemblers. I hate when someone in that position blurts out a blanket statement like that.
 
i just got new Emgo filters last week. they look just like K&N's...maybe a little more robust looking.

there's no instructions or oiling directions on them.
 
My 82 GS1100E came with individual V&H pods put on by the previous owner along with header and jetting. I have the documentation for them and it emphatically states NOT to oil them. Other types like K&N are supposed to be oiled. I would imagine oil on pods that should be dry would restrict breathing, causing you to run too rich.
