Red hot exhausts at idle?

[NToxx]

Hi there,

Even in the current freezing temps my exhaust goes red in one or two minutes at idle. I know engines run leaner and leaner with each new emission rules but I would like to know that I am not the only one!

Thanks!

No you're not the only one.

Rottweiler fuel dongle that thing! That engine heat and excessive lean condition is good for nothing except the central bankers of the world.

All my bikes that had thin-walled stainless headers since the 90’s did the same.

Done!
Not Rottweiler though, I went the euro5 way with that thing :

Bought from avdvparts.com, I like the idea to keep the closed loop to look as stock as possible.
No more red pipes, and slightly better fueling under 5000rpm : happy camper.

What is that?

It's a fuel dongle which keeps the lambda sensor active but fools the ECU and make the bike running richer.
It is the only simple way to do it for euro5 bikes, and it works also for euro4 bikes (like mine).

Mine still glowed with a dongle and power commander, removing the air injection made the biggest change but it still glows, imo the exhaust tubing is just that thin..
