Head pipe color.

Just looking to see if my head pipe turning a blue color is normal?

A blue head pipe usually means your machine is running a bit rich. I know that's what it meant on HD's. I can't speak to the Rotex. I have no idea how they're set. I do know that mine runs a bit rich, at least it smells that way. Haven't checked the color of the pipe. Maybe someone else will chime in here with regard to tuning.

Normal...

In most cases because of the sharp bend in the header pipes they tend to blue. If you are not getting any warnings as to running rich or lean you should be fine. If you made changes it may be the reason but the spyder will adjust the mixture pretty well on its own. If you made competition type mods sometimes you will need a fuel controller but I have not seen many that really needed it....:thumbup:

with a single wall exhaust pipe, blueing is the standard for a motorcycle exhaust, especially closer to the exhaust ports.

What Chupaca said. However if your pipe is light gold in color, you should ask your service tech to check it.....(IMHO)
