Are you still having issues with the pipe getting cherry? Mine is doing it now, I have an M4 exhaust and K&N Ru-1130 filter with a bazzaz zfi that I just installed. No matter what map I use it still gets red, I've tried riching it up to the point that performance suffers and it is still red....this is when sitting in the garage at idle though, I have yet to take it for a spin to cool it off and see if it still does this.
Thanks for the advice!! I called the dealorship (which is a mom and pop shop, pretty nice) and they said I could bring it in and look at it but it may be there for about a week as they are busy. I removed the bazzaz and it still hunts. Do you think this could be a faulty oem ecu (just had it replaced from the recall) or bad stock 02 sensor? Basically wondering if I am wasting my time taking it in? It performs wonderfully through the gears, no pops on decel, plenty of power, just hunts at stop signs (makes me think i'm killing the poor thing!!!). Thanks again for your advice!!
Thanks for the info, I will have to read my engine temp and see, I think you are right with the red pipe, just the nature of the beast. I'm really concerned with it hunting at stop signs when in gear, full clutch, 0% throttle (doesn't hunt in neutral just revs higher). Hunts from 2700-3100 rpm.Exhaust pipe thickness and Material type can differ from pipe to pipe manufacturer's therefore will show different results on the same bike at the same temp , I put a quick n easy temp gage on mine so i'll always know what the motor temp is which is the important thing
.
I had my temp at 257 degrees after 4 attempts at a steep hill and its the first time I smelt the motor (hot) ,but i didnt look down at the pipe . I will next time
Yeah, I understand they bumped it up to 3000, but it hunts to get there, then goes back down to 2700, then up to 3100, then back down to 2700, sounds like a loop of somesort. And in neutral idles at 3800.
No, no and probably yes. I have to wonder if your throttle is twitching between 0% and 1%. Kinda linked to what I mentioned, there's a lot of different stuff going on between 0% and 1%. I'd say just let it go for a little while and see what happens. Likely nothing to worry about. Mine hunts like one or twice at startup, but then levels out at about 2200.

Hey Kaw'ee, just an fyi, the dealership replaced my throttle bottle and now she idles just under 2000rpm with the re-call ecu installed! Not sure if this is something you want the dealer to look at or not but thought I would let you know!
