my 04 GSXR 1000 yosh pipes are glowing red ever since i installed my power commander. oh yea and my oil cooler is leaning up against the headers and it melted a portion of the cooler and now it leaks... i tried repositioning the mounting oil cooler brackets...is there anyway to run the bike without the oil cooler? i can't see how much cooling an oil cooler will do if it is used on a stunt bike

 

yes you can run the bike without an oil cooler. and the red hot pipes are due to a lean condition. you might want to tweak your power commander a little bit or maybe try downloading a different map. not all bikes are the same and those maps that you get off the cd or internet are just a rough estimate.

 

Yeah, as mentioned above, glowing red pipes means you're running lean as hell. You're gonna want to adjust that before it causes damage.

 

what the **** should i do

 

yeah your too lean like mentioned in the other post....I guess you could remove the oil cooler but it is on there for a reason.....it does help lower themps which may not be a big deal up north....your power commander instructions should tell you what to do about adjusting the fuel air ratio

 

oh you have a PC? I didn't hear that in the orig post. Yea lean could be the problem for sure then. I thought you were talkin stock bike! What about the milky oil? Figure that out yet?!
