I find it hard to believe that an increase in heat is related to free-er flowing exhaust.

Technically, the engine would be running a bit leaner and thus a bit hotter but I removed the rear baffles completely from my stock cans before I got the Jardines and there was no perceivable increase in engine temps.

That means if you richened the jetting to whatever it wants, you gain Horsepower.
Not so bad.

This bike doesn't necessarily need a re-jet for exhaust, and unless you pulled all of the guts out of the stock pipes, I really doubt you leaned up the engine enough to cause a temperature spike.

Who knows if the jetting was even in the ball-park to begin with ?
Bring a bike from colorado to texas and it will run lean as hell.

when an engine is too lean, adding fuel( richening ) will bring up the horse power and lower the combustion temp.
Add an aftermarket exhaust and this same thing is what will happen.

Not to sound obvious, but it's summer. The farther you get into June the hotter the bike will run - yes, even in Romania. You're about the same latitude as US and in the northern hemisphere.
