Default Heat !!

I have a 2008 SG with the PC V with two maps from FM.. I did install an oil cooler, but i still go into EITMS when in traffic and bike starts to ping and not to mention my right leg feels like I'm being BBQ'd . Does going to True Duals really make a differance regarding the heat issue ? Also - will the exhaust sound be that much louder with my V&H ovals ? I'm in process of installing a oil temp gauge and removing the Air Temp gauge. Almost winter here so looking to do the mods for next year..

Oh yeah - motor is stock with Stage 1 download and SE A/C.

Check your plugs and report back with the color. A pic of each if you can. You might be running lean still.

I ran true duals for a couple of years, & my right leg still fried. I've got a 2 into 1 & my leg still gets fried. I think It's the 96", cause my 3 previous bikes were 88" & my leg got a little hot, but nothing like it is now.

A proper tune and true duals cut the heat back on my 103 dramatically. It rarely ever even registers with me anymore.

are you running stock mufflers? the true duals & nonstock mufflers will cool off your right thigh a liitle bit with that a/c you might be running lean,with the FI/gas add. checking your plugs really won't tell you much like in years past.i would get it dyno the retuned and see if that helps
