Hello all. Brand new to the forum.
I'd like some advice on the aftermarket silencers for my T-100.
Some history first. I changed my stock silencers to the Triumph off-road ones because I did not care for the wimpy sound of the stock silencers.
This was done at the dealer where I bought my bike and they changed the main jets in the carbs (as I was told was necessary).
My issue is this; now occasionally, (sometimes more frequent than others), there is a pop issued from the exhaust, that for lack of a better term, bugs the crap out of me.
When I asked the dealer if this was normal, they said yes, these type of pipes will pop.
I have tried changing from the recommended 89 min. octane gas to 91 and back and it does not seem to change.
What causes this occasional pop in the exhaust if anyone knows?
I don't like it so much, that I am thinking of spending a grand for Staintune silencers and putting back the stock jets in the carbs.
The jets would go back to the stock ones as Staintune silencers do not require larger jets or any other modification.
I wish I knew about them before I bought the Triumph off-road ones.
Any thoughts, advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Mike
