to remove the spark arrestor you simply take out the 3 screw/bolts in the end of the pipe, remove the cap, pull the spark arrestor out and then re-install the cap with the screw/bolts and your good to go! sounds like a beast. its a cheap temporary sound fix though. once you get the money, get a pipe :)
ive just checked mine and it doesnt have the two holes at the end of the exhaust?!?!? did u drill these out or were they already there? mine is 2008 too
hey how is the bike like is it like the yz250f and 450 f where you have to do oil changes like every 10 hours and check valves every 20? is it allot of maintenence?
just wondering whats the spark arrestor and what does it do, and if removed does it give u a better top speed and more power. thanks, nice bike by the way im thinkin gof gettin gone
Hey if you want it to sound alot better run it without the end cap. It doesn't echo. Mine sounds good without the end cap, and without the spark arrestor.
If you want it to sound way better run it without the end cap. It looks like a mini cannon lol but it doesn't echo. Mine sounds great without it, and without the spark arrestor.
@ama828 does it have any affects on the engine? removing the spark arrestor? because if you think about it, it would provide some back pressure for the engine and removing it would cause the bike to run a little off would it not?
I'm thinkin about buying the same bike for casual riding and racing it in super moto at the same time. Great taste in a your choice of gettin one of these! They are rockin bikes!

Damn man it's about time someone put up a new video. Nice bike, i'm interested in the R version though. How's the gear shifting on these two bikes? Does it come with the tacometer to tell you when to shift? Or do you have to guess it?know it automatically?

Top speed is 92mph or around there, depending on your weight. And what ever the speed limit is for cruising speed!
