Not attributeable to running lean, I have'nt.
BUT...... you will probably tell me otherwise

Not at all. You are the only one telling people what running lean will and won't do.
All I have said is for the sake of a £40 dyno run it's better to be safe than sorry IMO.
I beg to differ, I'm not telling anyone anything, I'm saying most people worry about running tooo lean when there is not a scrap of evidence to support the fretting.
I agree with your last paragraph
Hi Harry
My evidence was a melting no plate and Remus end can that was way too hot due to superhot exhaust gas, coupled with a Dyno run that showed the air fuel mixture was too lean.
I have always said that other folks bikes may be different but if we discuss these things then anyone else with similar symptoms can be aware.
The fact that some bikes run leaner than others when changes are made is interesting. Is the make of aftermarket exhaust the issue, I used Remus.

Wadham, do you have a full system and aftermarket filter?

Hi Wad, I did suffer a melting No. plate a couple of bikes back, same Remus pipes and can. I always put it down to the Remus can being too close to the bike tho'.
Now running Remus pipes and Akro can which sits further out and no melting.
I'm of the opinion that if the problem was that serious there would be bags of GS's with holed pistons...and that, as far as I know, is just not the case.
I am of course willing to be corrected.....as long as it's gentle

i havnt but have seen this on many a 2 stroke, and, to a lesser extent a 4 stroke
Remus headers, BMW Akra can, distorted number plate (because of the can position) and want the can for my Jesse panniers.
25,000 fabulous miles (some of then in 42 deg C).
Still happy as is my bike.
