Just FYI, while riding down the road my temperature bars run between four and six across. Roughly half way across the spread. While sitting at a stop light the fan comes on at six bars or so.

My exhaust is factory and has gone a nice golden color from the exhaust ports to the end of the collector, with just a hint of blue/brown right at the head.

Of course, I only have 160 miles on the thing so far so this doesn't mean anything.

I hope you get it sorted out. Engine temperatures aren't what I'd be worried about. Instead, worry about burnt exhaust valves! I'd take it back to the dealer and have them check it. I don't think it's your new exhaust: possibly the wrong map got loaded?

Yeah, I love mine too. There's not enough hours in the day for work and enough riding. It's a good thing I'm single or my G/F would be just like the girl in the Triumph adds!
