Hi guys, i am wanting to carry out this on my ninja due to too much popping and banging on deceleration.But i need these little plastic caps to do the job properly. any idea of where i can find these!

if you cant find them, maybe find a hose that will fit snugly and pop a screw or something in the other end !

You more than likely just have an exhaust leak.

the backfiring noise is due to the after market muffler, and its a fairly new exhaust so it wont be an exhaust leak.

I saw something like that at Supercheap (or was it Repco) a couple of days ago - several sizes for capping vacuum lines. (It was on one of their rotating stands of blister packs of useful bits and pieces - like upholstery clips).

Why! Because nothing new ever leaks! That depends entirely on who fitted it and whether it was a good fit.
The popping and banging is due to unburned fuel on overrun igniting in the exhaust. This happens much more readily when air is introduced by a leak to the exhaust because without oxygen there is no burning.

iv actually had two different exhausts on it, both fitted myself (and checked by my mechanic), both had the same problem. Lots of people with my bike are having exactly the same problems and plugging the pair valve has sorted the issue. cheers

mmm.One would assume you've had it rejetted to take the different exhaust. Popping=Lean, Popping=air leak, Popping =Bad air cut off valve if the carbs come with one.,,You're sorted though with that hunk of plastic.
have already looked there, i know how to do it, i just need the parts to do it properly.

Ahh just looked at your original pic. Try a hydraulic place. They use caps like that for blocking open hoses.
