Yea if ya'll are idling your bikes during a monsoon then they probably wont turn red.

Well most people dont ride on the track at night. If you take one of your bikes down the road and back at NIGHT when its DARK and there is NO DAY LIGHT the header will glow red.

So what the hell does what i ride have to do with my knowledge of motors? I didnt know that since my main machine has 4 wheels that i all of a sudden know nothing.

It will not glow when you are riding. The air that's moving by prevents this.
If it is - post videos to prove me wrong.

It will glow when you let the bike sit and idle.

lol take a video at night of one of your bikes running, and rev it a few times to simulate riding it. The header should glow on these machines, its not the least bit abnormal, it is normal. That is, on the crf150r, 250f's and 450f's.

Will do. I'll post up asap.

You can't honestly be serious. You are actually going to argue with a first hand owner and a daily mech and tech personel on these motors? The air moving by doesnt prevent this. The larger radiator and fan on my quad doesnt even prevent this. It is definitely a normal thing with these motors. The klx110 shouldnt do it because the header on any aftermarket exhaust for the 110 is substantially thicker than the header of the 150r 250f or 450f. And any of the three motors mentioned above have much higher running temperatures.

1 yzf250 street bomber, 1 wrf250 and have previousely owned countless regular yz250f's.

last time iv checked its normal for any bike sitting stationary for the pipe to get red hot even if it is jetted correctly. If you could look under your hood while driving your car you would see that your exhaust manifolds are red hot, some cats under cars turn red hot if they are plugged up too. I'm sure a lean bike compared to a rich bike would turn red hot faster.

When i rip my 1968 ct90 with a lifan 107 motor in it at night it glows red.

make sure it is either the 250f or 150r. They use the most similar header material and thickness of the material is identical.

BlackBeard · 08-26-2008, 08:57 PM

maybe its my elevation, i personally have neevr had my pipes turn red even in cars. well actually once in this old 4 cylinder mustang but it burned valves shportly after. not saying anyones wrong i figure id personally rather be safe than sorry

OK

Can you explain this to me.

I used to own an 06 YZ250f. Ti header came stock on this model.
Like anyone else; I would let the engine warm up to change the oil. If I did not have a fan (not your typical house fan either..) blowing on the bottom sides of the right radiator / header area; the header would start to turn red.

When the fan was blowing on it; there wasn't a single issue.

I got the vid!!!Uploading it right now. Its the 150R cuz I havent broken in the 250s engine yet to really rev it. It'll be on in a few minutes.

shracing683 · 08-27-2008, 03:53 PM
