Aight, I have my samson pipes installed and my Screaming Eagle intake on, I ran the bike for a few minutes to check for exhaust leaks and then shut it down. The back pipe is yellow at the head. The bike seems to run fine with the expected popping on decel.
So my question is, The bike is scheduled for a SERT install/Dyno tune in 3 weeks. Can I put around town before then or will it trash the pipes and/or bike from running way lean?
Better safe than sorry but man I want to ride if even to the corner and back. Opinions?
I'll bet it didn't make that much of a difference. Ride it a little bit and then pull a spark plug to see how it is burning the fuel. My buddy changed his backing plate and pipes and didn't do anything else and it runs fine after 10,000 miles.
...or it could turn your pipes blue or honey-colored like my V&H did. Definitely, pull plugs after a short ride & check for tan to light color at tip of plug.
the popping is caused by a rich set=up.harley does this so you dont hurt the motor.the dyno run and re map will fix this and make a big change in power curve
