Exhaust Options for a '86 250r... Need help!

[KASEY]

I would mod out an FMF Gnarly off either a KTM 300 or 250. you would get some torque and it is close fitting, you just need to adjust the outlet location and inlet mounting style. My next project....

so your going to take a pipe off a motor with different bore and stroke configuration and make it better than a pipe built for the motor its on????? by cutting it up and changing it???? ok,,,, do you have a formula to use or a hacksaw?

HEY Red Ride.

Your buddy at 1dir racing ripped me off a while back. He's a real POS. Do yourself a favor and buy some REAL reeds..........V-Force. And leave that scum bag 1dir behind.

well, like i said before, my brother did the build, which included the reed choice. I dont want to get into bashing this brand or that. All i know is 1dir was very supportive when he had premature reed petal wear on the initial set, and they promptly sent him 2 sets of petals free of charge. And they seem to work very well. Not that i have anything against V-Force, i run a set of VF-3s in my sled and they work fine for me. Careful how much stock you put in V-Force too though. i dont know about their wheeler/bike setups, but in the sled world, their carb boots dont last for crap. I guess they all have one problem or another.

Kasey: i hear what you are saying too and agree completely

Mosh: thanks for taking the time to post all that good info up. i appreciate it. and you are right on the money as to my engine being kind of a low end torquer with real good mid that signs off on top...good call! I think i will be looking into the ESR pipe when i get the porting done and use the FMF setup on the stock project R i am working on

Ok Chopdunksplit: you can have your thread back!

I was thinking the same thing when I bought my R it had a hacked husky 250 pipe on i looked cool but it was like a inframe drag pipe, great for wide open only not a good idea.........
