My work in progress: Street Adventures!
Last weekend I installed my Utah skid plate & today the 2Brothers slip on w/P4 tip. It really took longer for me to get the tools out& put away then it did to do the installation.
I want to ask you guys w/2Bro pipes some questions: Did your mid pipe turn golden color within a few miles of riding like mine did? (carb & air box is still stock) Did the pipe bring you attention from the man like mine did? I was riding down the road at about 6-7g when I saw the man. I saw him do a double take as he passedin the opposite direction& the brake lightswent on. As soon as I sawthat, I hit the signal & began to pull over. He sat there a second & continued in hisoriginal direction. My brother was outside & said he heard me coming from at least 1 mile away. I didn't think it was that loud! Is it my imagination that the bike seems to revs to 8G without trying now? |

Its normal for stainless steel to turn gold.

ORIGINAL: KLXer Its normal for stainless steel to turn gold. Also, I have ridden by the man quite a few times in this town & this is the 1st time one of them looked like they were comming for me, but again this is the 1st time with the slip on! |
RE: My work in progress: Street Adventures!
They were probably slowing downjust enough to try and catch a glimpse of your plate to see if was a street legal machine or not IMO. My buddy got pulled over one time because the cop thought the rear D606 he had on was off-highway only until my friend pointed out the DOT stamp.;)

RE: My work in progress: Street Adventures!
You need to jet your carb if you put a new Muffler it will really turn fast when its lean....the bike is already very lean stock

RE: My work in progress: Street Adventures!
+1
The head pipe may turn blue eventually if left too lean. My FMF header took a few hundred miles to turn gold. |
RE: My work in progress: Street Adventures!
Don't run it lean, at least put a 125 or bigger in place of the main jet.
Lean = hot |
RE: My work in progress: Street Adventures!
I asked themechanic at the dealer about if puting on the slip on would be a problem before jetting & he said it wouldn't but he also said no airbox mods untilldoing the rejet.
