I installed the V&H Classic II pipes last week and had the carb rejetted. I'm getting popping in the pipes from air. I am following Gadget's instructions on this web page:

Smog Stuff Removal

to marble the reed valves. The two reeds valves on the cylinders have been marbled, and the pipes are still popping. Gadget told me via e-mail I should marble the air intake valve on the 2004 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic (VN1500E7).

I took off the gas tank today and wanting to marble the air intake valve. I found the two hoses going to the two reed valves and another slightly larger hose going to #1 cylinder. I don't want to put the marble in the hose I disconnected because it is bigger than a 1/2" marble.

Any ideas, suggestions, etc.?

Thank you.
