stock exhaust on 2013's

[cuznjohn]

any rt owner or other owner of bikes that get hot, what exhaust are you running on your bike. i have the Akrapovic exhaust from day one, i had the dealer install it b4 i picked the bike up. if i put the stock exhaust back on do you think it might help with my millage and heat issues. i am bored and just sitting here looking around at different things and i was wondering if it would be worth a try.

You know something; it couldn't hurt to give it a try... :thumbup:
If we assume that the "Akro" is a bit freer-flowing; it could have leaned your misture out to the point where the bike didn't like it so much. :shocked: nojoke

i was thinking the akro exhaust was made for the bike and lamont told me that the bike would adjust for it, but if and when i get the bike back after a few days i might give it a try. but i am still curious what other people are running with bikes that get hot

I agree that the possibility is remote... :dontknow:
Just sayin'...

Honestly, no way it will reduce your heat. The exhaust is outside of the tupperware at the back of the bike. The Akrapovic is less restrictive and the ECM will adjust to it. If anything will cool your bike down, I'd think about doing the cat removal instead. The cat sits underneath your gas tank, so I'd zero in on that first and get rid of it. Another thing to consider is purchasing the PCV. If you're running hot, it could be because you're running lean and the PCV will eliminate that. If you get the Auto Tune with with the PCV, then you don't need to worry about finding a map that is compatible with your setup.
