I hear it is caused by a lack of chrome on the bike. You might consider buying more.

How many forum subscribers does it take to say, "it's normal"? At least 14, apparently.

it's just your exhaust system cooling down to room temperature. like hoethree mentioned, the dealer will say, "it's normal, they all do that" no big deal at all,
