For starters I would introduce myself but I have been a member for a long time but I guess my account info expired so this is a new
account.
Now for the problem. I have an 03 with 29k on it. Never had any type
of prob w it so far. Mods are: pair
removed, two bros slipons, big air
boxs mod, TRE, vortex sprokets( stock
tooth count) , new plugs NGK.
Those are the only ones I can
see that would matter.
I wrapped the slipons from where they bolt to the stock exhaust down by the kickstand area to where they bolt onto the actual mufflers. You may
wonder why? Well bc the bike is alll black
and I wanted
to reduce heat near the rearsets and the wrap is
black to match. Looks great. Well I wrapped It yesterday and
first ride was today, ran perfect for until it reached operating temp. Then it had a noticeable loss in power..... When I accel and
snap off the throttle it doesn't engine brake very well at all like it always has.
And a loss in power upon accel. My guess is that bc it's a stock header and I
only wrapped the rear of the exhaust, it's retaining heat and causing a loss of power. But I could be wrong.....
Never have rode the bike hard, few
track days etc. But I don't beat it up by any means always on time oil changed no trans probs. Clutch doesn't slip. It set up to corner lifted etc
Hope you guys can help out. I think tommorow after work I'll take
it for another ride and see if the power is normal until it heats up.... I may have to just wrap the whole exhaust or just take the wrap off idk. Any advise or help would help a lot.
Typed this on my iPhone so dnt be too hard on me lol
all miles are mine btw. I'll post pics soon just fr
fun.
