Folks I ride with indicate the exhaust is much stronger than what they generally get.

Not going to say it's normal since I haven't experienced it. But I figure if there is a side effect of having one of the most powerful motorcycles on the road, it would be that it puts off some excess exhaust.

sounds like you're running rich, or not getting complete combustion from your cylinders.

Welcome!



What kind of mileage are you getting?
That will help tell you it is too rich.
