So I may or may not have a problem I could just be overthinking this but I just pick my bike up after having the 103 Screaming eagle upgrade completed at my local dealership. I'm running in the garage home for about 20 minutes what's around I noticed that only one of my tailpipeS has heated up. Bike does not have true duals and the pipe not getting warm is the cross over. Put my hand behind it was blowing cool air with little velocity. So am I being a worrying Nancy or might I have a problem?
Any constructive suggestions will be greatly appreciated thanks

 

Take it for a good ride then touch it...

 

Not unusual from what I've heard in here.

 

Did the bike feel/sound like it was running fine on the trek home...?? If it was running on single cyl, believe me, you'd know it.

 

is the bike running on both cylinders?

 

Why don't you figure this out yourself, it's real simple. Take the mufflers and the cross over pipe off and see for yourself how it works. Dah!

 

So you had a 103 upgrade and you drove it home. Did it ride like ****? I think you would know if you were riding on one cylinder.

 

Comon fellas, i think this guy lloyd is totally new to Harleys. Newbie only had 8 posts and he did an upgrade at the stealership.... Be easy on him, K?

Lloyd, did it feel like out was spittin n sputterin and harley any power on the way home from the stealership or did it pull like a locomotive? If it's the latter, i would think your ok...

 

May just be a simple exhaust leak on rear cylinder. Check the torque on your exhaust bolts.

 

At idle the exhaust will take the path of least resistance.. Right side generally has less bends.. Less resistance.. At idle.. More noticeable exhaust... Run the rpms up and you will see it balance out
