    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...

1100E jetting w/ V&H pipe

Just installed a vance and hines megaphone and a stage 1 dyno jet on my 81 1100E. I have the e-clip on the 4th from the top and the air screws 3 turns out. The bike runs good except for a small flat spot at approx. 3000 rpm. The bike also seems to pop excessively on deceleration. I haven't had the carbs sinc'd in quite a while. I'm also running the stock air filter. Any suggestions out there? :(
 
Hi, I had the same thing going on with my 1100E and I finally got around to going up one size on the pilot jets. It did seem to help get rid of most of the popping, and also smoothed out the low speed driveability. The jet sizes come in increments of 2.5. My 1100 had #45 pilot jets and I went to #47.5. It's pretty cheap and easy to do. Hope this helps.

Call V&H tech support. They can be very helpful.

my header pops when i have the smallest leak in the exhaust system--i also have a spot that seem to be a lean spot but it occurs only when the bike is not pulling--it goes away when i twist the throttle
 
Popping

Popping

Radar, On my '82 1100E I run a Kerker megaphone with individual K&N's. Air screws are turned out 5 turns to get rid of the popping, and I run 137.5 main jets. Runs great. You probably want to try 4 turns on the air screws. As to the flat spot, headers are notorious for lumpy power bands. That's the compromise you have to live with in order to get more power (at least with some designs).
 
i was wondering if you have a baffel in the muffler/megaphone/canister or whatever is on the end of your tail pipe??
