RD4ME Report post Posted November 3, 2018 Too cold to do much today so painted the muffler. Zipped around yard with it out a couple of times. More noise - no extra power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RD4ME Report post Posted November 4, 2018 We've had a fair amount of rain this week and the knobbies have being doing a number on the grass. Hoping the leaves fall soon so my wife doesn't notice the chunks missing from the lawn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pschrauber Report post Posted November 4, 2018 The bike should perform.better with an end muffler and would be quiter too. I recommemd the aluminium WES replacement muffler these are lighter, makes the bike even less noisy and are repack able. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If i'm daft my mono will flip me on my a*** in 2nd or 3rd at a walking pace. Also check your gearing - something is amiss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't fully blame the bike for the lousy wheelies - but I should be able to flip one of these over backwards - and I can't! Scifi also suggested to try a lower gear. If it ever stops raining I will try it this weekend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
