Engine Heating Up

[beuwiq]

Hi Y'all,

Finally got a Scorpion aftermarket exhaust . My bike now sounds like a dragon :rockon::Sport: :rockon:

But I noticed the temperature shoots up faster than when I used the OEM exhaust. Is this normal????

Obviously, the stock muffler, will give a bit more back pressure and is a "heat sink" compared to the Scorps.

When I put my Scorpions on, it didn't make a difference (or I didn't notice) in warm up temp's. My pillion did mention the rear seat is a bit cooler as the mufflers are lighter and allow air to flow past them plus there's not as much mass to heat up..

As long as the bike isn't overheating, your fine, enjoy the growl!
