Hey HQ,
So I went out riding today and on the way back I hit a small section of pavement and I hit the powerband in 4th gear and BAM, all I heard was some scraping and what sounded like an exhaust right in my ear...
The bolt holding the muffler (Which holds the stinger tube up also) came off, my clamp for my stinger-header pipe came right off. So "Shitting" bricks I though I might have done some damage to the motor after hearing a loud pop (I look down to my right, I dont see my stinger tube on.)
Somehow it was hanging on without flying out the back, but dragging right behind the axle.
Long story short I almost ran it without the stinger tube, found a pencil, jabbed it in (later found some wire to actually hold it on right) and went my way home.
After all that, it brought a question to my head.
Would damage be done if I were to run it without the stinger and muffler?
Hope you guys got a kick out of the story.
