Effect of removing a silencer (Honda 250 XR Tornado)
 

A friend suggested removing the silencer from my 250 Tornado, claiming that the increases in power would be significant.

Does anyone know if there is truth in this? More importantly, is it likely to actually damage the bike in any way (or just annoy the neighbours)?

Hello Matt;
:thumbdown: Removing or fitting an aftermarket silencer can result in the motor receiving a lean mixture,possibly causing burnt (stuffed) valves and other nasties to motor ,if carburetter jet settings are not adjusted.

Thanks - I had a suspicion that there might be problems arising. I think I'll just keep the silencer and keep the neighbours happy too!

Cheers
