Why does this bike go up in flames?

at 3:00 to 3:20 some guy is revving the fuck out of his ninja and then it goes up in flames

I know it's because he's redlining it while revving it, but why did that cause his bike to go up in flames? Just curious

[Pete.]

Looks like he rodded the engine, cloud of fuel vapour escaped through the hole and got ignited.

The heat could have melted a fuel pipe, not really seeing the purpose of him doing it, the bike isn't even moving!

The bike saw suicide as the only way out of his fuckwittery.

Interesting the time was 3.00 to 3.20, as that's the time they usually like doing it in a campsite.

my guess hes revving like a cunt because its running funny prob a lose hose to tank or car/throttle body then it came off under vibration fuel spills everywhere and ignites on hot engine

[Rowey]

I think the engine grenades, you can see a spark from between the tank and frame. A part of the head ruptures the tank spilling fuel on to a very hot engine and exhaust, causing a cloud of fuel vapour, which then ignites.

Either way, what a muppet.

What a fucking spaz dick. (not op, bike killer) I hope he burnt his arm and face. OK, bit harsh, but what a twat.

[neil.]

He didn't remove his helmet when refuelling and the build up of vapours ignited.

Pretty sure there was a thread a couple of years back about a member who had put their bike in for a service and was shown a video a while later of them ragging the fuck out of it in a similar way.

The whole clips is a testament to abject faggotry.

Only a Fool actually videos the sound a bike makes in a tunnel. We all know wot they sound like we doooon't need a freaking yootube clip of it all..

Why are they on the wrong side of the road? Oh aye... Made in America.
