Air out of right exhaust much warmer than left exhaust.

I have Rush slip on's on my bike. The air being emitted from the right side exhaust (front cylinder) is warmer and stronger than the exhaust air being emitted from the left (rear cylinder). The right (front) slip on portion of the exhaust is much warmer to the touch than the left side (rear cylinder). I noticed in the left (rear) slipon a littleness wetness (black and oily) at the bottom rear of same. The bike seems to be running ok however. I have noticed some difference in the sound. Doesn't sound as strong and or as loud. Both spark plugs appear to have the same color with respect to firing. Neither plug is oily. The check engine light comes back on for a few seconds after start up then goes off and doesn't come on again until after the next start up. The year model is a 2007. The selector down below would not allow the choice of an 07. 2007 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic.

When my bike is running I get white smoke from the right side exhaust and the right side also blows harder than the left. What could this be?

IF you are running stock pipes (not "True Duals"), the right pipe exhaust ALL from the front cylinder, and SOME of the rear, and the left pipe only blows SOME of the rear alone.

The stock rear pipe splits, some going to the left pipe by itself, and the rest going to the right pipe WITH the exhaust from the front cylinder.

Now, white smoke usually indicates moisture.
Being a (non-VRod) Harley, that eliminates the liquid coolant, because there is none.

Next up that comes to mind is condensation.
BUT, this would burn off fairly quickly.

So is the white smoke only at first, or even when warmed up?
And if warmed up, is it actually coming OUT of the pipes, or OFF the pipes (like some oil burning)?

My fix eng. ligh is on. i know i have a bad mass air sensor is from the cod thing or a mass mod sensor and and faild the emition test. now it will not start.and thair is a cliking in the door chime?

Hello, it sound like you might have a dead battery. Remove the battery and have it charged. Also, replace the mass air flow sensor. It is located at the front of Plenum next to the throttle control. There will be approx. 1/2 hole with two minute wires that are parallel to each other. Let me see here, the throttle is located on left side of the plenum and the mass air flow sensor is located on the right side (driver side). Remove the rubber boot that fits over the front of intake plenum. One more thing, if the mass air flow sensor MASF is totally shot. Your vehicle will not start. Best of luck, GB...stewbison

1997 Honda CBR 1100 XX. Bike builds idle slowly when cold . right side exhaust is forceful and hot while left side exhaust in minimal and warm only. Changed plugs and made no difference. Seems to idle...

Clay, you have a tiger by the tail. There are a lot of little parts to the carb system. I will try to assist you in the basics without carb removal. This may require a few replies back and forth. Start by turning off the gas then drain the carbs. Now turn on the gas and check to see that fuel flows into each carb. If gas starts flowing out of all the float bowls, now that the gas is back on, then all carbs are getting gas. To drain the carbs just remove the drain screw on the bottom of each carb float bowl. Two carbs have the drain screw on the left, two have it on the right side. Reply with what you find.

Does the front shocks on a 1982 1100 GS take air pressure. If so how much. The exhaust pipes are hitting my front fender now when I stop hard or go over bumps.

if there are air valves, those early bike sometimes needed air, about 5psi, do not use a compresor, use a small hand pump, or proper low pressure inflator. A standard tyre inflater will blow the seals.
The guard should not hit no matter what the pressure, check the exhaust is the correct one for the bike,check for a bent frame or forks

Best sounding exhaust setup for XL883?

well....I would say the RUSH slip on's have a nice sound and give some performance increase. I put them on my XL883 and now it sounds like a harley instead of a moped. They have a nice deep sound to them and have a good bark to them when you get on it, but at cruise tame down to a nice rumble. You can put on the rush slip on's up to a 2" baffle with out needing to remap, now when you change your air cleaner too, a remap would be in order.

Exhaust fan comes on when burner turned on

The left side is set for your grill. There is apparently a switch under the left side top / front of the cooktop. The aeration tray has a prong on one end that fits into a hole in the front end of the burner basin and activates the switch which stops the fan from coming on when using the burners and allows the fan to run when using the grill. Try switching sides with the aeration trays as one might make better contact than the other.
