[QUOTE="NuMtrHd, post: 1238961, member: 77281"] I bought a 2001 YZ250F this spring to mostly trail ride with my kids. Although not ideal for this type of riding, I've been having a ball on this bike (a little too old to start serious motocrossing, but getting a little air has been fun!). I've been having problems with it overheating, though, even when only idling for a couple of minutes while warming it up. Today, I let my older stepson, who hasn't ridden at all, ride the bike for about 15 minutes, and he was riding pretty slow most of the time. When he came back, the exhaust pipe was glowing redhot out of the engine, something I never noticed before. I let it cool off for a few minutes, then rode for about 20 minutes much faster, but the pipe was glowing again when I stopped. I didn't notice anything unusual about how it was running, but am wondering if the red pipe is unusual or hazardous for the bike, or if I just never looked before. After it cooled off I added a few ounces of antifreeze/water mix, but nothing more than in the past. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
