How noticeable is the Engine heat: F3 vs RT?

Potentially, it depends upon the issue, and the dealer. For jurisdictions that still do emissions testing for bikes, there is that to consider.

That's what I thought. Apparently, enough people aren't concerned with the possiblities to stop that mod. Guess ya just got to decide what's more important.

Are there any regulatory/warranty issues to consider when removing the catalytic converter, depending on jurisdiction?

Just Google whether your state or local requires an inspection of motorcycles, (or 3 wheeled vehicles if your juristiction makes this distinction). If you do, then you may encounter issues. If not, then it is extremely unlikely that you will have any problems.

The other fact is that swapping back to the Cat is pretty easily done.

TX requires a $7.50 'inspection program replacement fee' at renewal time. Other'n that, good to go.
