picked up my icon today and have noticed every now and then it'll make a pop from the throttle housing?
It gurgles from the exhaust but this is a more noticeable pop that comes from under the tank?
Normal?

Weird and No to that. Maybe the exhaust is doing it and a slight leak on a join. They are only held tight by springs

No it's defiantly coming from under the tank area, the bike also stalled once when this happened!

First service booked already in 4 weeks so I'll see how it goes up until then

I had the same experience. Probably happened half a dozen times so far. My bike is back to day from first service today (new Termi pipe and low bars) so will see if anything changes as they did a retune when fitting exhaust. Stay tuned.

Hi to those interested in the 'popping' issue supposedly from somewhere in the throttle mechanism. Did a 200 k ride today with my Club and it's gone. As I mentioned previously I've installed a Termi pipe and it's been re-mapped to suit so it's seems obvious it may be a standard mapping issue perhaps. By the way, the pipe sounds glorious! Really gives some character to the Scrambler!

I thought it might have been related to a mapping issue/fueling. I think it's to do with these bikes running so lean from factory. I only get the problem when i blip the throttle when filtering etc... at higher revs it's never an issue.

Jealous of the Termignoni! Mines on order and will be here in about 3 weeks

Jealous of the garage too!! lol
