It doesn't get as hot because your new exhaust doesn't have a catalytic converter! Changing just the intake air filter or just the exhaust shouldn't hurt the engine but changing both without a fuel mod may lean it out too much. Honda makes their ECU maps difficult to alter from my experience with their motorcycles. I had an ST1300 with a K&N and Two Brothers exhaust and no remap and it ran fine...I'm still reading about the P500 but am considering changing to a K&N air filter, a custom exhaust and this: Honda Pioneer 500 MAGNUM Dyno-Boost ATV Performance Chip
Okay. I honestly don't know much about it but I do know I'm drawing more air through the snorkel tubes as it's sucking in the prefilter I have on. It's also using more fuel so whatever the Dobeck is doing makes me think I'm not running too lean. The HMF makes it sound better too. FWIW
