    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How many of you have said "what the hell" and done

Today, I was tinkering on the Ol' 650...and I had this idea...
You know at the end of the exhaust, the baffle area...one big hole w/ 5 or 6 little holes around it...usually only exhaust comes out the big hole...well, I said @#$# it today and took a large, long screwdriver and punched out the little holes as deep as I could go into the cans. I've got a stock exhaust, and I paid practically nothin' for the machine, so who cares right? Well...the bike sounds a hell of a lot louder, and BETTER in my opinion. More like a Inline-4 should sound if ya ask me. Really screams at 7500 now. Anyhoo...How many of you out there have done the same thing, and taken out the ol' screwdriver/hammer combo? I road tested it after, doesn't seem to affect the performance or idle at all...just sounds real real nice...
 
DEW's are that way, although it's not his doing. I can hear him coming two and a half block away.

Yeah, I did that with my '77 Yamaha XS650D, although I only drilled out every SECOND hole. No big difference. Sounded a little better, not obnoxious, and still looked realatively stock. 8)
