I purchased a new 700 raptor se everytime i ride it the head pipe on the exhaust gets bright orange it looks super hot im curious if this is normal im not sure if it something i should be worried about.

nope, its normal if you let it idle.

Yea thats normal. First time I noticed it was at night. Looked like the whole bike would melt any minute

HELL no, that means it is running lean and will melt down any minute...... :grin_nod: just kidding it is fine.

Does this also happen with an aftermarket header?

I've noticed alot of posts about the glowing head pipe....... Alot of people also say its normal and to be expected. I must say that this has never happened to me. my pipe does not get that hot and does not glow so i dont know what everyone else is talking about. My bike is all stock as far as the motor and exhaust goes.

My duals glow like that too! Pretty sweet hey!

the glowing will only last a little while. and it is normal. once the pipe changes color you cant see the glowing. my alba pipe on my raptor did that when i first ran it so i called the dealer :thumbsup: and they said its normal. so all is good.
