I agree with those that say 'whats the issue with the popping'. Call me childish but I find it quite fun and does not affect anything on the bike or increase wear and tear etc. Its just a by product of modern emission controls and certainly, from my point of view, thats a good thing. If you are going to start 'fitting a second plug' then possibly it would be cheaper to sell the bike and buy a different one, maybe older with a carb etc. as it is clear you are not happy with it and once the bike has been altered permanantly in such a way I think you will find that the resale value falls through the floor.

Anyway, hope things work out for you.
