Engine HEAT

RE: Engine HEAT

I know that the Stage I made me run richer to keep the heat down, but the guy from T-max said that the Stock A/F ratio was actually bad for the engines. Even stock they ran too lean. I find that hard to believe, but wanted another opinion.

We've all heard about the glowing head pipes on stock engines. That's how hot a stock engine can run.
For me, I did the stage 1 for three reasons. One is engine life, two is rider comfort, and three is performance.
BTW, I'm getting around 38 MPG with my set up which is a SERT & dyno tune. AFR is set rich at around 13:1. I like to keep the RPMs up over 2500.
