Default Raptor head pipe red hot

I'm not doubting you if yours is that way then its one out of probably 50 modded Rappys I've been around and its the first that does it. I just don't agree with telling someone its supposed to be that way and going on with it. I would at least recomend checking the plug and advising that its not the "norm" because like I said before I would hate to see anyone have to spend money on a rebuild because their bike was jetted wrong. I did see in your post that you did recomend that they check the plug as well... I just wanted to reiterate that. I know when I first installed the trinity pipes on my bike I was way off on jetting and had to jet up to take out the glowing head pipes. I did end up jetting it a LITTLE on the lean side because it felt a little stronger, and the pipes would glow at night about an inch down the header and I know I was a little lean.

Not trying to start a fight just trying to save someone a couple bucks by having them take the time to pull out their plug and check the jetting.

Im betting that you dont ride dunes at night do ya??? if you do, how the heck is your pipe not glowing, on my YFZ even with a ceramic coated pipe it glows a little bit, and its jetted properly...
