Red Hot Exhaust

[marshms]

Need help! My son was in a minor accident with his 2001 SV650S. Most damage was to fairing, speedo and lights. I've replaced all damaged parts and need some help. I started the bike up last week for the first time in 2 months. I noticed that when I rev the bike to around 3000 RPMs that the exhaust down-tubes off the front cylinder gets red hot. I don't remember this happening before. What could the problem be?? The bike seems to be running fine but don't want to damage anything until I get this fixed if needed.

If you leave the choke on it will get that hot...

If you're turning the choke off and it still gets red hot then you're running lean. This is common for a bike that has sat, I'd try some fuel system cleaner... if that doesn't do it you'll want to open up the carbs and clean them out. If you're going to go that far you might as well get a jet kit too 8)
