i think i have a problem
« on: January 06, 2009, 08:27:58 AM »
Hello i need a bit of advise. I stated in an earlyer post  saying that i needed a map for my gytr exhaust because the two front header pipes are getting cherry red after letting the quad run on idle for aprox 5 mins. the pipe is red fron the cylinder head and stretching on for about 4 inchs. So today i thought i would try a diffrent map i downloaded the zero map to my quad and the pipes still go cherry red. I even removed the air filter to see if it was blocked it was fine but still cherry red pipes.
dose this mean the quad is running lead or ritch ? or is there a problem elsewhere.
or whay are my headers getting so hot ?

i have a 2007 raptor700
with a full gytr exhaust
fitted with a twinair air filter
and a powercommander III
the quad as no mods to the engine

The headers getting cherry red is not too uncommon, even for a good map.  How's your plug look?? and how does it run.

u can just adjust the idle mixture by modifying the numbers in the 0% throttle range from 1250 to 2250 rpm   ...
higher number is richer lower is leaner
