glowing header

[seemus]

was running my bike on the stand for about 4-5 minutes after changing the oil and as it was dark noticed the header starting to glow. never noticed before..

anyone else's bb\stroker do this?

They will all glow when they get hot....

I always change my oil after returning from a ride...?

[seemus]

yeah oil is cheap compared to a rebuild, i normally change every 500 k's but i havent even done 200 yet on the new donk and iv changed it three times. cant hurt....

Like I meant just do your oil changes after you return from a ride to ensure the oil is hot/thinner so it empties better....instead of warming it on the stand for minutes idling....?
