I did a demo ride today and man my rear area got so hot. This might be a deal breaker for me. Also the oil window is .... got false neutrals also. I wanted this bike to be so great and came away kinda feeling let down. Handling was good. Loved the dash.

Sounds about normal, I have had days where I am riding in 40c and was in traffic and I had to pull over and take a break before I became the BBQ.
Only one cure for it....Go faster

Yep ...Just sent my headers in to be Ceramic coated and will have the heat shields on the Termi's made of carbon fibre.

I've never had an exhaust ceramic coated. What is the benefit of doing this?

Good info
Do you mind if I ask how much it costs?

Sorry mate dont know as it depends on size and length of headers.
I will be able to give a cost by next week or week after as it takes about 5 days to do.

No This is the first and it was mainly because of the way it came through the fairing that made me look into it.
I have seen a Diavel with it done and they have a couple of headers done in Satin Black and Chrome at the shop......all of them looked great, I am not much of a chrome guy, so Satin was for me......you can just about get them in any colour you like and Xbox put up some pics early on.

The only way I would be able to say would be to get the 996r done....but that wont happen.
Why dont you ring a few of the companies here in OZ and chat with them, then you can find out who is full of it
Surely you only need to spend a few minutes thinking about it.
I don't have 'proof', but I have mine done (for aesthetics). I still roast my leg. It doesn't increase performance.
What else is left that would be an improvement?
If you put a thermal gun on it, it might actually be cooler. But noticeable to you? No. Absolutely not. See above.
Yeah, speak to the guys selling the product. They'd never lead you astrayThe only way I would be able to say would be to get the 996r done....but that wont happen.
