I'm about to place the order for my SM. I've been on here a while & have read & gotten some great advice but I wanted to get a general opinion.
Ok EVERYONE says to remove the AI to prevent blue-ing of the pipes. My question is this... how quickly will this happen? I was thinkin about leaving the bike 100% stock until after the 500 mile adjust. For a few different reasons but I was just at a dealer & saw the start of blue-ing on a Thruxton with under 30miles on it! Is this what I have to look forward to? Or could it be that the Thruxton runs hotter exahust due to it RPM's?
Just wondering? I mean in the long run I'd prolly be replacing all the pipes with more than slip-ons but would like to maybe keep the bike pretty much stock for this season & then do all the craziness over the winter (one good thing about livin here... ya can always do yer tweaks off season & come ride time you'll have a "new" bike per se)
Either way just interested in hearin what others have dealt with...
Thnx again!
