Hawk DLX running lean

Hey everyone! I am new to the forum world. Please don't hesitate to ask me for any missing details that people usually put in their posts.

I bought a Hawk DLX last year and I have about 600 miles on it now. I noticed the other night that I was riding that the pipe was glowing red. I didn't think that I was riding it hard enough to cause that. Top speed on that is 68 MPH and I was only doing 40-45 MPH through town. I thought that can't be right and I am assuming it is running very lean. Possibly lean enough to potentially cause engine damage. I haven't pulled the plug out yet to confirm. I looked through some other forums here and I see people talking about them running lean but it looks like they are all carbureted models. Has anyone re-tuned one of these? How did you go about doing it? I have never messed with fuel mapping before.

Thanks in advance!
