  Hi All,
  
  2014 GV650 EFi – after a short ride, the standard muffler was hot.. really hot, glowing red inside, discoloured chrome on the outer cover.. had been running a little rough too..
  
  This bike has had the baffle chopped in the past, so my question is, where is the best place to start?
  
  cheers

  Are you able to show us what your spark plugs look like ?
  
  How are your lambda sensors looking ?
  
  Lsstly, has the engine been overheating in anyway generally ? (Temp Bars on LCD screen always in the red?) – Try Motul Factory Line Coolant
