Re: Safe to take the exhaust off?
please do go on.... when you engine brake, exhaust starts to become a vaccuum... draws cold air into the exhaust(ever hear the loud pop noise, that is cold air expanding rapidly in the pipe) if this were to reach your valves this coud cause them to become brittle and crack... hot metal cold air ya'll know this... YES THIS WILL MOST LIKLEY NOT HAPPEN DO TO HEADER LENGTH... but dont throw it out the window... stupid *** thing to argue about.. back pressure increase lower rpm torque do to the cam design for emission and noise controll devices.
2. ive never heard any popping noise out of my bike
. 3. yes, cold air will cause the valves to get fucked, but as i previously stated and you agreed to, the headers are plenty long to not allow this to happen.
4. this is not stupid because this is what the thread was about.
5. you sounded credible until your last sentence.
i gurantee that thing will not hold up to the abuse that honda will.

Re: Safe to take the exhaust off?
ever held rev limiter, with WIDE OPEN throttle, for more then 30 seconds?
And how many miles you have?
I'll put a f4i to a rev limiter match against a gixxer ANY day of the week...
I'll also put any honda to a gorilla scrap contest and see who's frame last longest
Just saying.. Cuz we all know its the truth.. Gixxers are **** boxes! They serve 1 purpose, to go fast..
honda = reliability, gixer = fast..
I'd rather ride a kawasaki or yamaha any day!
edit: and no i'm not a fan boy.. Its just chance that I ended up with 4 hondas! lol
crf50 obviously the best 50, f4i obviously the most reliable easiest to stunt bike, 150f well I wanted a ttr125 but coudn't get approved for a yamaha card, so I swiped the honda card, and my car, well cmon, hondas LAST!

Re: Safe to take the exhaust off?
No whats a rev limiter?
And yes iv held it on the limiter for more than 30 sec........
my bike became a stunt bike at 2000miles and has almost 7000 now
And why would you want to have a rev limiter match....My ***** only on the limiter for a trick.....
Ya my subframe is a piece....thats why i dont smash the **** out of....but il scrape it all day long no breaky
Any yes Hondas are a bad *** bike........I just said my gsxr has been good to me and iv been pretty hard on it......

7000 lol
whats that, just past break in?
7000, thats still minty fresh new **** IMO
I got my bike with 12k! And destroyed it all the way to 26k.. And that dosen't include teh 2-3k odd miles I ran no gauges...
I bet your gixxer is fine at 7k.. but lets talk about its condition at 15-20k+

Re: Safe to take the exhaust off?
on my first F4i when my exhaust used to fall off all the time, i just got tired of it and rode without it for at least a month never had any problems with that motor until i believe somewhere around 36,xxx miles, i was doing rev limiter crazy larry's and snapped a rod.
1. f4i headers go 4-2-1, so there is always at least one cylinder firing pushing exhaust out.
2. ive never heard any popping noise out of my bike.
3. yes, cold air will cause the valves to get fucked, but as i previously stated and you agreed to, the headers are plenty long to not allow this to happen.
4. this is not stupid because this is what the thread was about.
5. you sounded credible until your last sentence.
i gurantee that thing will not hold up to the abuse that honda will.
