[QUOTE="Colorado, post: 1081683, member: 60368"] [b]RePost! Please respond? exhaust question[/b] #1 07-14-2006, 03:09 PM Colorado Registered Bike(s): KDX175 '80, IT400 '78, MX400B '75, Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: I don't know. Member #: 60368 Thumper exhaust question -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought my daughter an '82 XT125 Yamaha as a logical move up from her XR100R. I'm a 2-stroke guy, but the MX175 I tried to put her on first scared her because of the bigger size and quicker power both at the same time. The XT is kind of heavy, but doesn't seem like a bad little bike. It does have an issue with the exhaust though --- the 'muffler' (silencer/spark arrestor) part of the stock exhaust starts right under the front of the seat, and makes for a VERY hot inner right thigh! I rode a '77 TT500 for a little while, but it had a modified exhaust --- an older Supertrapp that was mostly behind the seat, so it was only round tubing that ran under the leg there (for that matter, her XR100 was set up like that too). Is something like that the way to go with the XT? Can I just cut the stock pipe and add more round tubing, making the 'header' longer, then stick a supertrapp or some other spark arrestor on the back? Are there tuning issues I need to consider? I'm not trying to make this into a race bike --- just her next one to get used to a more full size ride. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
