[QUOTE="Ducdude, post: 34976, member: 2077"] Well the muffler it was..!!!! I took off the burgess silencer and just ran a straight pipe. OH LORD what a beautiful noise. There was about 5 miles of country lanes to the motorway and then I settled into a 60-70mph easy run in top gear. What a heck of a ride 50 miles as the bike seemed very happy. She became quite Lively and chipper. I never got her above 75% throttle on the motor way as there was no need. At 40-50% I was holding 65-70mph and the bike was happy chugging along. For a moment of passing at not quite 75% throttle not yet on the needle taper the speed had crept up to a point that said OK that is enough for today. I am pleased with the outing. The bike behaved just fine and felt stable and planted and once warmed and I adjusted the air screws to meet the needs of the lack of a silencer there was no untold carburetor issues. So the lot of you that said Muffler/Silencer were spot on. Even the idle was happier... I really did not want to come back, but as I have been told easy does it for now...There are 200-220 miles on the motor now and she is still getting better.. So, I need a new Muffler/Silencer. Does anyone have one or know who has any of the clubs spiral mufflers for sale or loan they are not using? This would at least meet my current needs until the club restocks their inventory. Thanks all for your help as always, Man this is fun! (now) Cheers, Eric [/QUOTE]
