your mixture is off , check your map if you have a pciii

 

Check the plugs NOW! Cooked pistons are a biatch.

 

check to see if the PCIII is connected right or if you lost power to it.

 

I think lean conditions cause -->too Hot!

check fuel mix!

 

I do not have a PCIII or any other mod, just the Speed* pipes and Speed* ait cleaner. I wil go check my plugs...NOW.

 

I heard of another guy having this problem, his PCIII was not connected properly. And since you don't have a PCIII then I think yours is not connected properly (LOL ha ha). But all kidding aside, bump up your fuel through your computer or get a PCIII

 

Bumping up the ECU is cheap and easy (I'm easy but I'm not cheap) and with your set up is highly recomended. I had great results.

 

For that to happen, wouldn't he have heard a lot of popping and backfiring if he was running that lean??

 

Okay, I'm back, I tried to post a reply earlier about my plugs but I had a power outage at my house....**** Detroit Edison. Anyway, I checked 2 plugs, the left rear looks good(to me) the insulator is a tanish color, the left front is sooted up pretty good, black all the way around...from my understanding from past and present searches, this would indicate rich and would not cause an over heat problem..I think, right? Now, another Q, if I had the original plugs in from the stock set up and then put on the Speed* pipes and air cleaner, would that give me a bad plug read and should I put new plugs in and then read them....All four plugs I presume as well? And yes 03Blue, you are correct, it is NOT connected properly..lol And yes Fafo, it is popping, but don't most of our Warrior's. So Meatball, I guess I will mess with the ECU but do I have to put in new plugs every time I change it to get a proper read?..Thanks guys. Now remember, these ARE Stainless steel pipes. Still any difference?

 

I think the main problem here is that you didn't have the cooling system engaged. Nothin wrong with the bike... operator error!

 

if there is no sheilding at all and you were looking at the pipes in the dark, it is possible for the pipes to have a little glow to them.

was it a dark red, kinda faint glow? or was it a bright red, headers look like there about to melt red? and was it dark at the time?

and again this is only if there is no shielding and if your looking right at the pipe off the engine. im assuming the bike was idling why you were talking to your friend? if so you might want to shut it off next time, nothing worse then letting a big aircooled motor sit there and run, as there is no moving air to cool it...

and black sooty plugs normally does indicate a rich condition, tan would indicate a good mixture

ROFLMAO

ONAGER: No, there is no shielding and it was pitch black. And ok, maybe Red Hot was a bit much but ya know, yea more like glowing red, about 8-10 inches down coming right from the engine. Yes I was idleing, and by the time I got a few miles they were fine. So, ya thinkin no worries then ey??

 

Worries? ......... na

More ride, less talk, you'll be fine. /emoticons/emotion-5.gif

I am still reading posts about reaqding plugs and adjusting the ECU, but after we adjust the ECU, for example, if the front plugs are rich, will the adjustment turn the plugs tan if the adjustment turns lean, or are new plugs required to get a correct reading of the plugs?

 

I've raced motocross for 15 years and when I started running friday night arenacross on a fourstroke I saw my pipe glowing cherry red while setting at the gate waiting for my race.I thought something was wrong but it was just the lack of air from just sitting still.Almost all four stroke race bikes have stainless headpipes ans a titanium mid and muffler pipe ,and anytime you see one at night sitting still you will almost be able to see through it.So dont worry about hurting anything but deffinately would bump up the ECU so your bike runs how it should with your new pipes.
