This http://www.jaskowiak.cc/S40/S40%20One%20Year%20Old%20-%200002.JPG is from last year when mined turned a year old. I'd post the actual picture but it's really big.

I'm wondering if it's got to do with riding style as well as gas quality. Most of my riding is to-and-from work with about 50% at highway speeds. That should keep the pipe cooler. Also, I ran super unleaded in it when I was breaking it in. I've noticed the blueing started when I switched over to regular at about 1500 miles.

Also, I'm getting a little blueing on the muffler itself. Is this normal?
