Creating a GZ250 Bobber

[kedebrav00]

I've been working on my GZ for the last week or so. Its been a really hard, yet fun experience. I just wanted to say to those people out there that are thinking about doing it yourself experience, take rust into consideration. No one ever mentioned that if a nut or bolt is rusted it will add a few hours to you project.

Hey Guys im at the cutting the muffler off stage of my Bobber.
I was about to cut off last week saturday but I decided to call my mechanic first. He went on this huge dialog about if I cut the muffler I'm going to have to recarb the engine, because the air gas intake ratio. I know a few post have been made about to increase speed. I am solely cutting my muffler for aesthetics. Can you guys weigh in on if I need to recarb the engine and get a kit and all that stuff. Remember I just want the bike to look lean. I love the way it performs now, I don't care to change it.

You normally don't need to rejet unless you change the air box or change to a K-N filter.Been there done that.

Just exactly what do you intend to cut.....and how much ??

Whatever you do, the muffler likely won't "muffle" anymore and you may not like the resulting sound.

It probably won't be necessary to re-jet.....unless you end up with bare header pipes, that is......which would be LOUD for such a little bike.

I think that the only practical thing to do is to find a slip-on replacement muffler that is shorter and cut the whole muffler off and replace it......but then you have to worry about how to firmly attach it.

My personal opinion is that it will be wasted effort because what you end up with will look worse than the stock cone.......which is already pretty "lean" compared to most bikes.
