Did you rejet / remap the bike? A/C changed? That may be the fix.

If it is injected you can make a cheap fix to allow for more fuel. Go to http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/h...olt_divide.htm

Has anyone done this yet to their bike?

Bob,

Rule of thumb: When you increase outflow (mufflers), you must also increase the air inflow (Stage I). Your bike is already set in a lean condition from the factory. Adding the pipes, you are now making the engine even leaner! Thus, more heat! This will in turn, lead to blue pipes, and lot of pings! You must richen your fuel/air mixture up! You'll find many threads on this forum about fuel management systems.
