I was goin off a jump, and when i came down my tip got caught on a root sticking out of the ground and busted off the heads of two of the bolts holding in the spark arrestor on my stock pipe.

Now it is only held on by one bolt and rattles like crazy. I want to know if i should just take outthe spark arrestor all together or should i buy a new arrestor for it? I dont know if it will run bad or lose power or wut?

I would just upgrade to a aftermarket pipe but i just cant afford it right now.

 

Anyone?

 

same thing happened to me.. i was riding a wheelie at the dunes, it went back on the grab bar there just had to be a brick in the sand right at the spot my pipe hit, bent the tip and 2 of the bolts broke right off.... I'm not worried about it, i'll have my HMF full system soon...

I just took the end cap off i didn't notice any difference at all, i also checked the plug it seems to be running normal...

 

So other than being a lot louder on idle it wont have any other effects?

 

There is really not sound difference... just a little....

From what i have seen on mine it didn't change anything..... I would check the plug after riding for a while,just to be on the safe side...

 

what plug should i check?

 

thats a good excuse for an aftermarket slip-on!

 

After riding for a little while check the spark plug to make sure its running normal not lean...

 

ohhhh..... geez i shoulda known that haha, thanks
