Went down to warm up and move the bike, whilst doing this was listening to the engine as needs a little work and trying to establish what was wrong.
Anywho, looked at the top of the down pipes and they were glowing orange, never seen this befor so cannot say for certain if it has always been doing this, they are stainless steel pipes though.
mine will do that if i leave it on the choke for too long …
if any work has been done on the engine and IF it is possible to adjust the engine/ignition timing then that may be out of place but most systems are not adjustable these days so dont place too much on that …( used to get it with cars with the old distributor systems )
Things glowing on bikes… thats kewl. i saw a video of a car which, under heavy braking, you could see the discs glow. Does this happen on high end bikes?
