        @reecesloane-2017 How hot. I mean yeah it's going to get hot. The exhaust is exposed to the combustion flame...

        There isn't a temperature gauge on the RE so is the light coming on?

        It could be the water pump failing.

        Or simply a faulty temperature sender...

          It gets hot to the point where I can smell
          It burning and feel the heat of it but it doesn't boil the coolant it the light doesn't come on I'm just worried about it heat seizing I thought the restrictions in the standard pipe would make it heat up I've got a yz 250 and I could put my hand on the pipe after hours of riding if I did it on the dt it would be serious the bikes only done a few hundred miles from new coolant is circulati g

                  Light isn't coming on?

                  Right mate Yeah it's fine you are worrying over nothing.

                  It's not a crosser the standard pipe is solid and absorbs lots of heat. I remember mine absolutely stank when I rode it home down the motorway.

                  But once it was home it was fine. As said that's just normal, the cat will cause the engine to run hot anyway.

                        @reecesloane-2017 Yeah mate. I got a thread on here about removing it. Don't. It's a royal pain the ass.

                        The stock pipe has a huge honeycombe system in it. It stinks when hot lol.

                        But it's a quality pipe.

                          Thanks for the help buddy almost put my mind at rest is it normal to see heat waves from the front pipe
                          I was really worried about jetting because the snorkel removed and the boost bottles

                            @reecesloane-2017 Put the snorkel back in, I do have one for sale actually.

                            And the boost bottle, also have the inlet one for sale. I must have the boot one lying about as well!

                            Yeah the pipe is going to get hot because it retains so much heat due to its thickness and material, as such yes you will see heat waves.

                                http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262948112886?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

                                http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262949644469?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

                                The snorkel is modified so that it will let in more air, but not disrupt the air flow.

                                It may not be what you're after.

                                The boost bottle is in fine condition.

                                For forum members I would do both of them for £15, so long as you don't buy it through eBay lol and I get charged shed loads of fees.

                                Just let me know here and I will take down the eBay ad.

                                          Thanks for the info after seeing what's inside the stock pipe today I'm not suprised they get hot they have an actual honeycomb cat in side no wonder I'm going to do away with it and get a dep I've give up worrying and just been having fun and the temp light hasn't come on I did 70 on it today with ease and I'm a big lad which was a surprise it stunk after though
