[QUOTE="holeshot, post: 1372656, member: 17202"] I can't offer too much toward resolving your problem, but 1. Most people freak out when they see their 4 stroke header glow the first time. This is usually in low light conditions and it glows a lot more at high idle (like when the choke is on). If you go to a night race and are on the starting line, just tap the guy next to you on his shoulder and point to your glowing header. This will shake him up so much, he'll probably crash before he gets to the first turn. Nahhhh..most people have four strokes now, so they won't be fooled. This is more likely a red herring. 2. Premium gas from your local gas station is sufficient. The number in the manual is RON (it actually says RON in the manual). The number at the pump MON+RON/2 (RON being the higher number usually). This subject has been beaten to death here - I've already been schooled :whoa: Another red herring. 3. Four strokes don't like to be idled long - at least not as long as your trusty old two strokes. When people take delivery of their 4 stroke, they tend to start it in the garage and admire how cool it sounds for too long. Get it moving through the air. The leak possibly could be coming from the weep hole at your water pump (leaky seal) - a common failure on hot running four stroke beasts, especially when left idling too long. Yes, the seal can leak intermittently and it's on the right side of your bike. Although you did say the steam seemed to come from the right rad..... As far as the hanging idle - hmmmm - that's a tough one.. who put the cylinder head back together? Sometimes improper assembly can cause strange issues, but if it was put together wrong, it probably wouldn't last long anyway...so you'd probably know by now. [/QUOTE]
