^^^ Trav is made of money!
well i couldn't ever get a definitive answer on if i have to get the bike smoged so id rather have the stock pipe and could just slap it back on if needed.
If it passes, it will be for 2012 bikes moving forward. So if you mod your 2011 bike out, it will be exempt. One reason I like the Duc, you will not be able to buy this bike come 2012, so I will have myself a collectors worth more dough then it is worth now...Thats what I was starting to think. New Truck, New bike, He came on as such a poor man.
Welcome to Comi-fornia, by 2012 all DS bikes may have to line up for that shit. This is what I think, Comi-fornia, kiss my
If the screen came out, you are now sparkyless. I believe there is another baffle in the tip that you can remove to open up the exhaust, but I would just pick up the PMB cap since the opening is bigger and it lets the bike breathe. I may need to do this, since during my mod, I had the end gutted so I am umm well, lets say I do not want to sit around when ranger man wants to shove a stick up my tail pipeSo are you guys saying that the stock muffler on these bikes have an internal spark arrestor?
The reason I'm asking is I have a 2010 450 xcw and on the first ride the jagged edge ring and screen on the end of my pipe came off.
I went back and found the ring, but no screen.
So am I running a illegal spark arrestor without a screen or am I okay?
I've always broken my bikes in like I ride them...HARD. I don't believe in an easy break in because I'm not going to ride it easy. HARD break in, oil change at 20 miles, 100 miles, 500 miles, and then every 20 hours I change the oil. I either clean or replace (Ready Filter) the air filter after every ride.im told a 10h break in time where i take it really easy... truth?

Glad to see you on a dual-sport bike buddy
You guys are saying the missing screen is the sparky?
That screen is the spark arrestor.according to my manual that screen is a silencer element... WTF how is the little screen gonna make it quieter ?
That screen is the spark arrestor.
