I took it out and it felt like I lost a lot of 1st (rev'd high quick) and gained more in 2nd. Not sure bout 3rd. Anyone else notice a difference for better or worse, or is it all in my head??

 

even if you did lose 1st, oh well, who uses 1st!?

 

1st is best for everything on 1 wheel

 

third is best for me

 

heres a better idea. cut the spark arrestor off the end cap and bolt the end cap back on. frees it up a bit without loosin the torque. takin the whole thing out is just plain anoying. just my 2 cents

 

ohhh, and 1st gear is where its at!!!

 

Hell yeah 1st gear is sweet for everything exept for doing jumps then u might need 2nd..

 

i just cut the spark arrestor screen out.. left the extension on the tip that goes into the can. didnt want to lose much back pressure..

 

Rip that peice of **** end cap right off!! I did tat with my xr100 and u really gain power everywhere. Who needs it? Then u can save the endcap fro when you kneed it quite. And if u want im sure you could cut a metal disc the size of the muffler and then cut a whole you desired size and bolt it up to get the power/sound u want.

 

i have the spark arrester on my can but several friends have cut theirs out (leaving the endcap on), aside from sounding like ****, it doesn't seem to be any different. i have yet to notice any type of power difference before/after and compared to my bike. maybe w/ a bore kit or something there might be a small increase in airflow/power. some people like it out but most people i know regret cutting it out. IMO it really sounds shitty - i like the stocker.

...... 2nd gear.

 

very good advice....

 

you would gain more BPressure by removing it, not lose any
