I have an 02 700 Sportsman,the exhaust manifold and front pipe are turning cherry red after a riding a short distance.I found the caburator adapter boot split,thought that was it,i changed it and it still does it.I have checked for vacuum leaks,none found,called the dealer and they said they have never heard of this,any suggestions?

What dealer are you talking to???I have a sportsman 700 and with the stock pipe it would get red hot after riding a short period..Changed to tuned header(cermic coated) and rejetted carb and no longer gets red...

 

Thanks,do you get the header and jets from the dealer?
