[QUOTE="bhkfjr, post: 1330834, member: 19229"] Got my new '15 A a few months ago! Love the Liquid Graphite, cruise control and heated grips. I'm coming off an 07 (130k trouble free miles). A common farkle on that year was a Power Commander to smooth out the throttle response and the lean fuel mix and I'm wondering if it also made the engine run cooler and would my new bike benefit accordingly. What got me thinking on this is my '15 seems to run hotter than I remember. I'm feeling a lot of heat on my left leg while moving at speed and the exhaust cans seem to be turning an amber color. The cans on 07 always looked like new with absolutely no maintenance, just wiped 'em off. I always thought that was pretty amazing and a sign of the best quality stainless. After only a few thousand miles my '15 cans are not the same color as new. Actually, they look dull, with a slight brownish cast. They have definitely turned color. Could this be heat related? Poor quality stainless? Anybody else seeing this? [/QUOTE]
