I may just need to chalk it up to a hard day's riding and the lean tuning on the factory bike. Of course, any time you do a 500 mile day in 100* street-level temps and mountainous conditions the engine deserves to be tired!

 

I put one on my 2011 FLTRX 103 & have been in 95 degree temps with no problems.

 

The lean factory tune will do it. Mine would cook me until I got it tuned to reduce the heat.

 

No pinging here.

 

I have that as well as the lower fork deflectors on both our Ultra's. Great wind management and no heat issues!

 

Might have to try one just for the beard

 

were you running lowers ? the install instructions that came with my lowers , says to remove the air baffle when using lowers

 

I installed a baffle about a week ago. Probably rode about 100 miles or so since in 90+ temps and haven't noticed any pinging. I also didn't really notice a significant reduction in wind either. Probably because I am running a 6.5" Klock Werks shield. Wish I had bought the 8.5" instead. Lessons learned the windy way I guess....

 

Same here. I have Stage 1 and always run hi grade premium fuel

 

at least you know your cylinder head engine temp sensor is working correctly....as the heads gets hot...the mixture goes leaner. I put a 3/16th lock washer on m sensor to pull the sensor tip away from the heads. There's an air gap now between the sensor tip and the heads. If you have a stage 1, you can pull your egg intake cover so that the cover cup effect does not suck in engine heated air.
