I can't wait to hear how much better you think the sound is. Hopefully you'll get it running OK again.

The sound is unbelievably different. I set off car alarms when driving down the road. Its loud. I love it. I feel mre confident now too, gear changing better too. Less embarassing. What a difference, kinda feel a loss of power i think.

That's because your flowing too much air and not enough gas. You can get it right but you need to sit down with it one night and get it done right.

Watch out, esp in the neighborhoods of NYC you don't get a ticket for excessive noise and illegally changing from the stock muffler that came on the bike.

I called suzuki to order jets, they told me they dont take orders over the phone. I told them thats ridiculous. I have to drive 8 miles to the damn place then go back when they have em in stock. Jerkoffs !!

Re: I did it! I cut my muffler off and added a new one.

Is that a baffled pipe? If so only a 130 will ne required i only needed 135 when i removed the baffle and had straight pipes all open and free flow air filter i got all my jets at motorsports dealer for jet skis and atvs just ask for kehein large round jets or mikuni large round jets they were the same when i went there and easiest thing to do is take one with you and they can match em but all the online parts places have em too if you dont mind paying shipping and you know what you are looking for. Cycleworld locally had a assorted box of em and if they didnt have the size they ordered on bags of 6 so u paid for all 6 and got em all but you only need one... best of luck though!

Ps i used nylon washers from home depot to shim my needle jet it took two super thin washers to make her mid range beautiful!

Re: I did it! I cut my muffler off and added a new one.

I bought 130 jets. Had to by a 4 pack from suzuki. I told them a few things they didnt like but F'em. I need 1 not 4, whatever. It is a baffled muffler, it looks like 2 tabs inside thats all, alot of air goes thru seems like. Im thinking of sticking some steel wool in there along with doing the 130 jet.

It looks great! Someday maybe you could get a video so we can hear it. You really did a good job. All the mods look great.

Thanks greatmaul but the only real mod is the muffler, everything else is just paint. lol. The rear suspension came out great with the red paint. Its not chipping or peeling anywhere, which i thought it would do already.
