Default engine to hot

2007 RK- 103 BB, woods cam tw6-6, big sucker2, Rinehart TD exhuast, jagg 10 row oil cooler, amsoil, Tmax w/AT. my basic map selection was done by bore, exhaust, intake size. I've tried setting from 12.5 to 13.5 AFR.

problem- when crusing at 50mph or less engine temp increase to 300'c before I shut bike off( usually in about 10-15 minutes).
traffic just makes it worst, if that possible.

at speeds 60-85mph engine seems to hold around 270'C.

i included some plug photos, about 4k miles on them, 1k after the cam change.

could this a timing problem, since engine ran cooler with original 255se cams(no where near as strong)?

It looks as though you are running to lean, valves not seating or improper ignition timing. When I put my cams in the springs were bottoming out and had to go to different size springs. You might just need to have it dynoed to check your A/F mixture to make sure its correct. Good luck

Try having it re-tuned. Air Fuel mix looks to be off.

Looks too rich - a lot of black. Strap should be a coffee (tan) color.
