Oops, I assumed you were running a 96. You never did specify the bike you had, I just assumed a 96. My bad.

pull the plugs and see if you are running lean. that will at least narrow it down as to if the AFR is causing the problem.

i know i am really showing my ignorance here but, what will the plugs look like if they motor is running lean?

If you can find a lower octane like 91 or do the mad mix like i do it really helps to high of octane makes it run hotter 10 to 15 percent, it is working for me . I try half and half and go form there. good luck

hey fellas,
i installed a K&N Air filter kit (similiat to the SE Stage I) V&H BSS and a PCIII and my bike is running super hot. In just a minute of idling she gets ridiculously hot. I was running the map that fuelmoto preprogrammed based on these specs and then I tried the one from the powercommander website but no difference. It's to the point that I think the heat shields on my new V&H are starting to warp. Went to a stealer today and they just gave me a "you should have let us install it speech". Mind you, they have no Dyno and would have loaded the same maps. Any advice?

RE: dyna running super hot
I just had mine dyno'd last weekend it was a big improvement but it's still a big air cooled motor and if the air's not cool it's gonna be hot.We did one dyno run with the stock map it made good HP up top but was so hot you could literally feel heat comming off of it 5-6 feet away.After several adjustments and dyno runs we were able get within a few inches of the pipe before we felt heat.What does all this mean? I dunno, but with synthetic oil, dyno tuning, and exhaust wrap and or heat shields you can get these things to run cooler but they'll still cook you thigh on a hot day.You may just have to suck it up and head for a dyno.

RE: dyna running super hot
If yer bike is runing hot, I'd be worrying about burning a hole in the piston. If yer plugs are white that's not good.
I got a 07 Wg. I took off the stock pipes and put some D&D fatcat's on, got the Se airkit, and went with the Tm with Auto Tune.It has automatic lean tuning. You can set the afr.. idle or check the box to closed loop and ride the bike and let the bike tune itselflike I did.
I got a Indy shop that sells them and would give you a good price.
