Can you see it during the day, or just at night? How far back on the header does it go?

[foxrider11]

Only at night,but its all the way to the actually head

[Scro]

It's normal for you to see it glowing at night. What do you mean by "all the way to the head". It's normal for the bend in the pipe coming out of the head to glow. If it's glowing half way back to the silencer, then you are probably lean. If not, don't worry about it.

[foxrider11]

Even if its like bright orange?

[Scro]

Yes, stock headers are very thin. They all do it, more so on the Yamaha than the rest seems like. It's doing it during the day, you just can't see it.
