Monster 696 idling at 2-3 thousand rpms for about a minute and the first 8 inches of pipe are literally glowing red. Is this normal or a problem with fuel/air mixture? Thanks

Um, a little of both. When running correctly the stock bike will, compared to older bikes, be lean. Pretty much any bike can develop a red pipe if idling at a high RPM, particularly if it is air cooled. No air movement, minimal cooling. There is no reason to idle the bike that high for a period of time.
Lots of posts on this topic, research, read..
