    New exhaust = overheating engine?

    All seems well now. I rode a bit yesterday and no more overheating. Sits around 115c idle and cools down when moving. I never expected that something like changing the exhaust could make a bike overheat. Thank you guys for the help.

    New exhaust = overheating engine?

    SO, I just got done tinkering with the bike and it gets to about 105c fast, then slowly starts to climb. after about 20 min it was still slowly climbing @115c. This made me realize that I don't know what the operating temp range is. The light never came on like it did last time. I did not...

    New exhaust = overheating engine?

    So, I have checked the coolant levels (and learned about that little bolt on the cap that keeps you from turning it :mad:). All good. Now I have a new tune from TuneECU for aftermarket silencer (20776) and will test again in the morning after all of my neighbors wake up.

    New exhaust = overheating engine?

    I put on a VooDoo slip-on. A cheap little thing, I know, but it slimmed the bike down, and dropped a ton of weight. I have not put a new tune on it yet, but I was in the middle of the 12 minute tune when I noticed the temp going up. I need to find a tune for this. I also need to verify the...

    New exhaust = overheating engine?

    So I just put on a new slipon muffler. small yet fairly open. I was letting her idle a bit to cook off the crap in the muffler. When I came back to the bike, the temp light was on. I shut her down and grabbed my laptop and hooked up TuneECU to get a reading. 128C!!!! WTF!?!?!?! I heard the fan...

    Where Are All The R3's In The Dallas Area?

    Well, I ride mine to and from the office when the weather is nicer in the Los Colinas/Irving area north of the airport. It is a 2014 Roadster. I wouldn't mind a ride with a few other Rockets.

    How does this even break?

    Well, there was only that one wheelie, so it couldn't be frame stress. ;)

    How does this even break?

    This is on the back of what I assume is a vacuum canister on the left side of the bike. I was chasing the little nut from the battery terminal when I saw this. What is this and how does it get broken?

    New Bars

    So I have always loved the look of bars with internal controls. Have any of you seen the ones from exile? http://www.exilecycles.com/index.php?section=80

    Slipped into neutral and dropped my bike

    Once this bike starts going down, it goes down. I was turning around in a parking lot (slow u-turn like in the MSF test) when, during the middle of the turn, the bike slips from 1st to neutral. I didn't notice until I started leaning and went to give it more power via releasing the clutch...

    talk me out of it

    :roll: This thread has taken a hard left somewhere.

    talk me out of it

    Well, you have succeeded. I will not be going sans muffler. Thanks for the overwhelming show of good reason. Not what I expected from most of you. :D

    talk me out of it

    Because there is still a 14 yearold running part of my brain sometimes. :cool:

    talk me out of it

    So I am sitting here wondering, would it hurt my bike to run with no mufflers? Just dump the exhaust after the O2 sensor into a down-pipe. I KNOW this is a bad idea (I like that my neighbors enjoy having me in the neighborhood). I probably won't even do it. But would this hurt the bike...
