I ran mine a little with out the silencers at my shop before dumont. I'm sure you'd be okay for a little while, but I wouldn't do it permenantly. Its loud as hell too btw. Quote
brugal Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Yeah its OK one or two minutes is fine.... Quote
Trick2stroke Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 My friend rode his blaster without the silencers...Nothin happend, seemed to run fine..LOUD but fine. Quote
bignasty1 Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 the silencer on my old kdx200 broke off when a stick flew up and hit it i rode i think it was like 7 miles to get back with out it. ran great as usual just loud but it sounded mean as hell. Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 You won't do any damage when you run it without the silencers..but if you run it without the whole pipe, you'll fry your motor. I did this with an old 50cc honda scooter me and my buddies called "Scoot". It lasted like an hour. But then again I used eather like nitous on the thing all the time. It would do a cool 45mph on eather. But Scooter's don't jump well and the handle bars have a tendency to bent till they touch the seat. Quote

I fired her up right after reading CEJ's post saying it was ok...I put in a set of ear plugs and fired 'er up....man i love the sound of a piped shee!!! now to get the silencers..and do some final adjustments..and i'll be good togo!! footnote: open the garage door stupid...exhaust fumes arn't very frendly..

trail rider Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 I love taking the sliencer off my crf 150. It is really loud, especially when drag racing somebody. You can hear it about 2 miles away. Does it hurt it when you hold the kill switch, give it a lot of gas, let off the kill switch and let it backfire? Quote
nickxc Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 My friend and I took the silencers off his v max 4 which is a sled with, basically 2 banshee motors side by side with a common crank, That bastard sounded soooooo good I still have a chubby over it. Too bad my 02 xc 700 smoked it but it sounded good when I went by Quote
