does anyone run there bike with no pipe and if so is it ok for the bike or does it loose or gain power

o0kawi_boi0o

some say its good some say its bad for the vales dont really know i always have a pipe so the whole neighborhood (sp) dosent hear me

i cut mine down and hated it. in theory it should have more low end grunt and fall on it's face at speed, but mine felt like it lost power everywhere

I chopped the last baffel off the end of my F4 pipe...made it about as loud as any aftermarket pipe...I didn't notice any power loss/change....

lower back pressure isnt great on the valves....only reason I cut mine was it was hitting when I'd scrape 12...

Your low end will suck, you could gain a drop of HP and top end but it is far too loud and ridiculous to do. Also it can hurt your valves especially if you like revving your motor

well mine is forever and a day long was just thinking about taking it off cus i really dont want to take the time to cut it down but then again it hits all the time and is starting to **** me off

Mine fell off somewhere once and I kept riding without it. Very noticable loss of torque on idle, not much difference on the throttle. Oh, it was still quieter than a D&D somehow.

not familiar with the kawi , but can't you just shorten your midpipe?

tjhammack

well im on the road 5 days a week and when i get home my girl want her lovey douvey **** so i only have enough time to sneek away practice for about 6 hours a week so the more time to ride is the best

lee majors

funny, but true!

don't you have someone you could trust to drop it off and do the work right, pick it up when you get home

tjhammack

yeah travis at royalty racing but im kinda weird its not my bike unless i do all the work myself and i love it when people say wow i have never seen a bike like that before
