[dsn_klr650] muffler
Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2009 9:40 am
Exactly what I want to avoid. I am looking for a muffler that changes nothing, I just want a lighter better sounding muffler. If I have to rejet, or sacrifiece fuel mileage, I will stay stock.

Date: Friday, April 3, 2009, 8:32 AM Just keep in mind, when you "open" up your exhaust . it decreases back pressure. it will change how your bike performs. If you install a muffler that is too free flowing, you will need to make changes to your intake to allow more air in. then to the carb to allow more fuel. etc. were dealing with a single cylinder. every change we make no matter how little, effects the internal combustion. remove the air filter door and factory air filter. ride the bike. you will notice a change. your letting in more air. now the engine wants more fuel to compensate. when you install a good flowing aftermarket exhaust. you are removing back pressure from the engine. this will effect the engine and its Peak RPM torque. So, read up on the exhaust and how its made. ask the manufacturer. what will this muffler do to my engine. will I need to change my intake or carb settings. When I installed the supertrapp. I needed to shim my needle and modify my airbox. HUGE difference in response and engine peak RPM torque. when I install my factory pipe to have a quiet ride..... engine losses power, cause now I have back pressure and the carb and intake is not set up for that. so instead of thinking of sound as your main objective. think performance. when do you want the power to peak? 2000-3000 rpm. 4000-5000 rpm. etc. then you will narrow down your exhaust choices to as few manufacturers. Any after market pipe you install will be much,much louder. the stock muffler sounds like a scooter compared to aftermarket pipes. Well, I hope my rambleing helps..... hahaha -Mike- From: Rick McCauley To: dsn_klr650@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 3, 2009 6:12:11 AM Subject: Re: Fw: [DSN_KLR650] Muffler Yep. That's OK. I am in no hurry. My muffler is fine. I just want to learn what I can before I buy one. Obviously there are mufflers out there that sound much better than stock. You have proven that to me.

White bros has a muffler also. sounds good. I want/need USFS approved arrester.

Spend your money on suspension and pin some playing cards in the spokes.
