Ok guy, here's the question, and it just kinda came to me after reading something in an exhaust thread. My bike really doesn't seem to slow down when I let off the throttle. Would this be caused by the tuning, my long pipes, my cam...? It's been making it harder to ride around corners without hitting the breaks.

lmao, no, I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. It likely has more to do with what gear I'm in. I guess after putting the 255 cam in, I'm running at lower rpms then I used to. Could also be high idle, never thought of checking that. I'll mess around with it a little and see if I can get some better results. What should a normal idle be?
