Installed my Rush slip-ons

I installed the rush slip-ons on my 09 sporty, 2.25 baffles, nice loud sound, but when running it smells pretty rich. I bought this bike back in january, first bike, and i'm only 18 and new to this, but the dealership said that rush exhaust was the only exhaust where i would not have to remap. I don't hear any popping on decel so i pretty sure there are no leaks.
Any ideas about why it is running rich.
Also, i did just put gas in it for the first time (only 80 miles on bike so far).

I would remap with any mods to air/fuel or exhaust just to be safe. You may not have to since you don't have any popping on deceleration. I do recall smelling fuel on my stock bike till she got broke in.

I would love to hear a sound clip of the exhaust because that's my next project.

most people here will tell you, myself included, that you do not have to remap with only slip on's being installed. You should be fine.

+1 you should be fine without a remap just for the slipons, especially since you dont have any popping. Put up a sound byte of your bike running so we can hear your slipons.

After I push Rush slipons on my 07, gas mileage decreased 10 MPG and you could smell it was running rich. I had them do a remap and it solved the problem.
