WTH???? Glowing head pipe???
Man I let my SG idle in the garage with the lights off and in just about 3-4 minutes the dam pipe comming out of the head on the front cylinder was glowing. Is this normal or do I have a lean condition. Bike seems to run fine no poping or spitting. Was thinking of reinstalling
the stock mufflers to see if this condition goes away. When I had the stock mufflers on it the dam idle would drop down to around 400-500rpm, as soon as I installed the new mufflers wich are real conservative as far as sound goes the thing has ran and idled alot better
but I am woundering if it is alittle lean. I have not done a remap or anything like that because I was told by the dealer if it runs good and there are no issues and the stock air cleaner is still installed there should be no reason for remap. The glowing pipe sure got my attention.
Anyway just wanted to know it the glowing pipe was normal at idle? Glowing goe's away when the throttle is cracked or the bike is riden.
Have appointment for new CVO injectors next week.

They come from the factory run right on the edge of too lean...so if you have aftermarket pipes, you only made it worse. Even if your bike isn't running lean, you shouldn't need to idle it that long. EFI bikes you just start and go. Even carbed twin cams don't need to warm up. You just don't beat on them until they have had a chance to warm up.
