Hey guys I’m new to the forum as well as a new 2016 XMR 1000R owner as of this past Monday. I think I have read every post here associated with the exhaust heat issue. Here is my question, I have NO plans of replacing the factory exhaust as I want it as quiet as possible. What is by far hands down the best thing or things I can do to protect my new investment from melting or possibly burning down. I wish I would have done a little research before the my purchase and I may have made a different purchase as this terrifies the hell out of me. I have only rode it 3-4 miles and can tell you just in that time there was a lot of heat coming from the left side panel/seat area.
Would installing a vforcejohn PCV and wraps be efficient or go as far as a fan mod plus PCV plus wraps
Don’t even want to start it after reading all this, I have gone out tonight to take a look and everything is as its suppose to be. But I just don’t want to take any chances. TIA
