Looking @ plug's on a fuel injected bike will not tell ya anything...definitely work's on a carbed bike not on a EFI...you need to get a Dyno pull to find out your AFR.

I may go w/TD's yet. Just don't like the idea of spending another grand.
I have done everything to address the heat issue(s), and it's still there, not as bad though.

I'd really hate it if I lived in a warmer climate though.

I have at least managed to knock the heat down to an acceptable level though.
PC-V, Rineharts, Ness A/C oil bud cooler.
I went from 300 degrees for a max down to 220-250 and that was the oil bud cooler, not with the PC-V, or the slip-ons.

These are HOT RUNNING BIKES, period.

If you think I'm kiddin' get yourself an oil temperature gauge, even the digitial stick that you can put in your oil tank, of which BTW I have one for sale, barely used I'll sell for $110 shipped.Con US. I just bought it to check it against the McEwan gauge that I have in the fairing. PM if interested, pay pal.
