exhaust problem

I was recently on a short ride and i noticed that sparks were shootin out of my exhaust when i revved over 4000rpm, and also the exhaust was glowing red with heat around the welds i was wondering if anyone knew what could be the problem? any help would be much appreciated

 

m8 if your exhaust is glowin red good fukin luck emagine how hot your piston is wont be suprised if you piston melts wats your temp gauge say n hav u got coolant ?

 

Mix some water with your petrol. Should cool it right down.

 

wont be saying anything as typhoons are air cooled engines.

 

is this even possible???

 

The temperature at which steel starts glowing is about 4 or 5 times higher than normal engine running temp. And aside from sparks coming out the exhaust being near impossible even if it did it woud NEVER only happen at a certain rev range..

Deffo chatting shit.

 

unless the exhaust is scraping against the floor.....

 

so youre saying that you think i'm lying about the sparks? why the hell would i do that, there was definatly sparks coming from my exhaust

 

sounds like the bike is miss-firing to me? When my bike is running and i turn the key off the exhaust will pop and throw lovely flames

 

Well by the sounds of it your exhaust has a cat (catalytic converter) fitted to it all piaggio/gilera past something like 2003 have the fitted if you do have one of these exhausts it is normal for it to get very hot mine used to glow red inside and little blue flames would sometimes come out on idle after a good ragging lol

 

Sounds like it looks good to me haha

 

The sparks could be his packing shooting out?

 

deffo an arse

 

that is the worst thing you can do ...water dosent compress and can bend your conrod ....
