ORIGINAL: rocksandgiz

My 08' ultra's got 750 miles on it. It does run slightly hot to the point that the pipes are starting toturn blue between and under the heat shields. My question is will it hurt the engine or just turn the pipes blue if I leave it stock and running lean for another 1000 or so miles? or till I figure it out.
Your advice is appreciated. Thanks,Rick
I don't think it has ever been tried.

Donny is right It wont hurt but it is best to at least do a Stage 1 for longevity.

I firmly beleive that the MoCo engineers these things so that you "MUST" spend more $$$$ to get it right - they just assumed everyone would come back to the MoCo for these extras. IMO
