Glowing Pipe
Glowing Pipe
Just installed the HMF header pipe a couple weeks ago and noticed that just idling at warmup its so hot it's glowing for the first few inches. I never noticed this on the stock pipe, is it normal or something I should be worried about?

I was thinking it may be a little lean too, I know lean runs hotter. I recently dropped the injector offset .01 because I thought it was rich, I bumped it back up to the factory setting today but haven't checked the headpipe yet.
I was running a Blaze traction map when I noticed the glow, switched to Moto while I had it hooked up today.
The strange thing is I rarely hear the radiator fan running, and I would think if it was running hot the fan would run alot.

I've got a call in to him, he'll call me back tomorrow and let me know if it's normal.
I was running the HMF slipon for 6 months and never noticed it glowing, but that doesn't mean it wasn't. I rarely ride at night and it's not that noticable during the day.
