New to forum... 2 Years, 3 Months ago
|
|
Hello to all; looks like there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum. I ride a 2002 RoadStar with a few additions...( Bub Stubbies, Max Air Kit, Drag Bars & other miscellaneous chrome items). I love the bike. Just recently started experiencing problems with exhaust turning gold; this was after taking bike in for service to a "Super Duper metric bike mechanic". Perhaps someone on this forum would be willing to share their expertise with a "newbie". I live in Houston, Texas and would really like to hear from anyone out there who has had a similar problem with their exhausts. |

Welcome! That is normal for a little exhaust discoloration. I would probably pull the spark plugs to make sure they look to be burning clean, but a little gold I wouldn't be too concerned with. Do those pipes have heat shields?

Yes they have heat shields. It is more than "a little" gold. I started the bike up and you could actually see them turning gold. Is this condition a sympton of the bike running too lean? If so, any suggestions. I have no idea what size my jets are or what the PMS is set at. I just wanted to "test" the waters before I start changing anything. I have a couple of thousand miles on these pipes without any previous problems.....thanks for the response. |

Sounds like it's lean .What did you send it in for? Did he mess with the carb? How does the bike run. (hesitation, poping thru the carb)?  |
