Red Hot Exhaust
 

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.

AS PER
 

Have you checked the radiator for damage and coolant level You have a serious overheating problem so here is a good place to start I am presuming the engine is running OK

I've replied to your other (same) post in the Sv section.
