Exhaust / tail pipe

Suncross · 07-08-2011, 04:48 PM

Looking to buy an after market tail pipe. Something like a bolt on. I am looking to have a pipe that doesn't hit saddle bags, and one that makes the bike sound... a little louder. That or hum differently. It sounds a little lawnmowerish / sewingmachine-ish. I have a 2007 GZ250.

@Suncross
www.nichecycle.com I bought the muffler there - delivery was fast, but I still have to pick up the pipe, so can't say much about the quality.

@geezer
I'm so with you on messing with an exhaust, carb, jet, filter. It's a bitch to tune it up, it took me a day or so to get what I wanted and that was without a muffler ...

Hmm weird. When i did my muffler swap i had no issues with the idle or how it ran. Little backfiring here and there but other than that ... it ran fine after adjusting the mixture. Was never a need to mess with the idle.

Same here.My bike actually idled much better,mostly because of the idle mixture adjustment.My bike had been running so lean that it would not keep a constant idle,or start easily in cold weather.After a mixture adjustment,both problems solved,and this was before I changed exhaust.

:cool:

What model #'s of mufflers did you guys put on your bikes? That way I don't put on the wrong one and get the bad experience some people are getting by making a change.

Some of the websites are too vague on what bikes their mufflers will fit.

Thanks

i might have installed the wrong size main jet or moved the needle a bit to much, al i know is it gets even worse when its humid. and then there was that one time it was hard to start one day. hmm i dont know, but a plug chop will make thingsperfect.
