Default Muffler not getting Hot???

Took my first ride, on new setup, See Sig. Went on a 20 mile ride. Parked it in the garage, got off went to the back of the bike on you could touch the right side pipe.It was warm but nowhere near the left side. Seem's like all the heat is coming out one side . Is this Normal. Bike ran great. No Hic-Ups whats so ever.

Go back to the dealer ASAP! Sounds like you got shorted a lot of "hot"! Go back and demand they make your bike hot!!!!

Seriously...what's the temp there in Ohio...30 degrees? Do any work on the bike lately?

You need to take that thing to Miami right away and get it to a very warm part of the country to get that muffler hot or it will fall off. LOL, just kidding guy, actually you may have a mixture problem with the FI. sounds like one side is running a lot richer than the other. Richer equals coller exhaust temp.

If you are using the fuelpak and the xieds you could be running very rich. Watch your fuel mileage.

I did all the work myself. V&H Power duals, Hi-Out put Muffs, Fuelpak, Xeid.
At Idle the air coming out of right side muffler is cold. Left side is hot air with very little soot. Back Cyl. Header pipe alot hotter than front. I Figure that they woudl run about equal.

I have been reading alot of posts about these xied's and i did't think you ran efi management with them that they were the management??? maybe i am just confused, someone help. I have fuelpak and in upgrading my maps there was no options for if I have x or vied's. I was under the understanding that they set an AFR and that was it you were done.
