ok i have an rxs 100 and it is great!...but when you back off the throttle it makes popping noises...what are they? the engine runs great but makes these weird noises! and would the indicator lights come on but not flash because of a flat battery?

Probably an air leak in the exhaust system somewhere. Either at the header or where it joins the silencer.

Probably not. More likely that the flasher relay has died or the bulbs in the flasher are of too low a wattage.

It's little bubbles popping caused by the amount of detergent used in modern fuels. They float down the exhuast & pop when they hit the sharp edge of the baffle...

All 4 indicators ain't flashing: bad ground or duff flasher unit.
Less than 4: blown bulb

the baffle has been cut down because it snapped off when i tried to remove it....i changed the indicators to some cool aftermarket ones but the origanals didnot flash either...so does that mean it would be the flasher unit?

On my NS125F the idicators stopped flashing and just stayed on and i fixed it by giving the battery a good charging overnight, give it a try, as for the popping thing i dont have a clue.
