Your bike would actually benefit from an adjustment to the air fuel mixture regardless of the baffles but I agree that if you remove your baffles and you want the bike to ride well that an adjustment is in order. Without back pressure you will lose a lot of low end grunt. The fact of the matter is that EPA says what kind of air/fuel mixture the MoCo is allowed to run. This means that the bikes are tuned extremely lean from the factory to meet the EPA standards.

So, if you "tune" the bike and add more fuel to the mixture it will not only cool it down quite a bit, it will run much better. It is one of those things you will never understand until you add a tuner and get a Dyno tune. You will be amazed at the additional power and smoothness from the motor not to mention how much cooler it is running. Remember, these bikes are oil cooled, not liquid cooled like most vehicles on the road. A cooler bike always runs better.

Not sure if I really answered your question, but I wanted to shed some light on the subject for you.
