[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1422418, member: 3828"] CO settings are accomplished via the Barbarian Jumper mod (google that phrase for more info). In essence, you are varying the ECUs target air fuel ratio, mostly at idle. It makes a small difference in how those bikes run, but not earth shaking. Melting legs are part of the deal on 1st Gens. Solutions are: Always wear heavy, insulative pants, keep the tank full when its hot out (the tank helps suck up some of the heat), install an insulation blanket under the tank though to keep the fuel from boiling, try some of the first gen heat mods (various flaps and vanes to redirect the air flow) but in the end you just have to suck it up and power through it or bail out and get a later Gen bike that has better heat management. I rode my first gen for 7 years and ~90k miles, but when it got really hot out in mid summer Id leave it in the garage if I could and rode something else. My 3rd gen OTOH is no problem in the heat. However, that first gen was quicker, more nimble, and more comfortable to ride in the often cool or cold New England weather. You know the thing about no free lunch? Yeah, that. Not sure about your noise. More info required. Maybe say what conditions it happens at and what it sounds like? [/QUOTE]
