Waiting on new muffler.... gorgeous day. Can you run with the muffler off for a limited time... or not worth the risk of running too lean? | ||

Your bike won't run very well, but you can run it without the muffler. I know a couple guys that have done this for short periods of time without killing their bikes. My Jardine came apart one day and I ran it about 20 miles over to a friends place to pick up his extra and it was no biggie. I wouldn't ride it that way for a couple months, but a couple days shouldn't be a big deal. It is after all your bike though, so if you don't feel comfortable doing it don't. | ||

NOT RECOMMENDED The main reason is that without support for the header pipes, which comes from the muffler mounts, you run a high risk of breaking an exhaust stud. Let alone the no back pressure and crappy performance. | ||

MAN, JUST DO IT!!!! Your bike will sound like the 2 assholes that live up the street from me that come blasting down my street at 2 in the morning on their POS sportsters. | ||

the header will crack before you get 10 miles I would guess | ||

I had to do it a few weeks ago. My Jardine broke apart. Performance kind of sucked. Needed to get the RPM's up on take off from lights. Extremely loud. I really suggest you don't do it. | ||

If you have to get it across town or something like that, do it but if it is not a emergency I would say no too. | ||
