This is what happens with a slip-on muffler and a RAMAIR and no tune. Despite all advice to the contrary this guy brought his bike in on a trailer. I let it idle for a while until it was up to 80 deg C , then rode it gently to warm the tyre etc before baseline testing the bike. Up to about 1/4 throttle, almost no load and the ambient temp was 19 deg C and I had 75 km/hr wind in my dyno room. LEAN as all get out. 2016 Rocket X. This is why I cringe, when I read, "yeah do this it will be allright mate" or similar pearls of wisdom. Thought this may be of interest.
 
And that is exactly why I will be there on Tuesday Nev. Good post and wake up call for some
 
I cringe when I see photos like this and the guy posting saying THIS WRONG PAY ME AND I'LL FIX IT

Plenty of post about chocolate gearboxes but I have never seen a post on here about burnt valves or holed piston due to a lean running .

Tune up cos the tuner guy said it needs it .

But I'm sure its a big issue and keeps the tuners in work
 
Exactly why I got you to tune mine Neville
 

Just for my own edification . What are you seeing in that that's setting off alarm bells?

I see what looks to be discolored chrome but that could be a reflection.

Not doubting or arguing here M8. Just curious

Edit never mind. Just spotted it. YIKES!! That is freaking hot

I looked at this and wondered why someone ran red tubing behind the header. Then I looked at it for 2-3 more minutes and said "holy sh!t, that's the header that is bright red"

Me too! I was looking and looking mostly at the wiring thinking maybe that had been damaged. Then the light bulb shone nice bright 'red'..
 
I spend a lot of time on Facebook, (get a lot of Business there)
The number of Twats out there that say you don't need a re-map, and that the "12 minute tune" is all you need to do ......
I have even been abused for saying other wise, it's actually got to the point that I don't say much at all in this respect these days.

Then occasionally some one will have their bike re-tuned and will come back and say that I was correct and that the bike now runs so much cooler AND performs better .... Duh !

Remember Super Duck from last year ?



I wonder what his REAL problem was ?
