Is it normal for the pipes to get cherry red on a brand new raptor 700?

Yes, it is normal for the exhaust pipes of a brand new Yamaha Raptor 700 to get cherry red during operation, especially under heavy load or high RPMs. This indicates that the engine is running hot and that the exhaust system is functioning properly. However, if the pipes remain red for extended periods or if you notice any unusual performance issues, it may be worth consulting a mechanic to ensure there are no underlying problems. Regular maintenance and monitoring can help prevent overheating.
