Short Pipes
21 Feb 2009 18:22
Today I cut my pipes, and they were cut just a few inches beofore they go into the exhaust collector. Does this cause any adverse effect to the engine? Will I need to re-jet the carbs? Does this sucker sound sweet with out muffs....?

yes you will need to rejet. Many people will tell you that this was a bad idea. I have removed baffles on all of my bikes and the sound always seems to put a smile on my face:) My neighbors all like it too. They wave everytime i ride by, but for some reason they are only waving with one finger:huh: . I dont understand it, but i just wave right back with the same finger:P

It all depends on the bike and carbs you are running. on my 750 with bs34 carbs i am using 140/70 jets. If you don't rejet it will run lean. I didn't rejet for a while and you could definately tell the differece after i rejetted. Also the spark plugs didn't look so good before i rejetted.
