Mine would do that back when I had the stock exhaust on. Get it checked if you're worried. Those pipes do have a lot of restriction, plus engines tend to get pretty warm when they sit at idle.

Started the R3 when I got home from work cause its sat for the last 10 days, so I thought id start her up and let it warm a little and shoot a little charge in the battery. After 5 mins of idle this is what caught my eye. Should I be concerned?
I've let mine idle for a long time with the water pump cycling on and off but NEVER saw this kind of heat!..Never!

The Harley fatboy did something similar when new but not all the way down the pipes. After replacing exhaust with Vance and Hines and a good tune it never gets red hot. The Rocket even at idle for awhile have never had the pipes turn red. That is about as lean as it can get.
