Re:Baffles 3 Years, 3 Months ago

I tried the no baffle approach also and it was kinda loud so I'm going with a modified setup. Any engine needs a certain amout back pressure. Running without baffles depends on the pipes (I'm sure some'll chime in on this). As far as the sooty-ness, what if any, are the mods done to the carb/air? Generally these bikes run lean from the factory. Lotsa questions. Gas octane you use, type of plugs, altitude you run at, weather, lead throttle hand, etc.
