hi, I just bought a 2000 dr650, and it seems to me that one pipe is getting far too hot. it is the pipe that sits right in front of the engine, i think it is the beginning of the exhaust.
this pipe becomes red-hot as soon as i reach 70mph.
is this normal, or am i riding the bike too fast? or is something wrong.

it just went to a suzuki dealer for a service, and the mechanic told me the bike is in great condition. but still that redhot glow in the dark pipe bothers me a little bit.
thanks,
Ann

could be running to lean or the timing might be to far retarded

I got a DR650-R from 1993 and it gets quite hot on mine too. Nothing to worry about, just avoid getting naked skin in that area *tschhh* :lol:

Thanks
I spoke to a few mechanics here, and they all said that very same thing too so i'm not worried anymore. thanks a lot, and ENJOY EVERY RIDE!
