Fun with TurboT's Gio Beast
T left me alone with his quad, and I got bored.
I chopped the hideous (and heavy) stock muffler off of the pipe, flush with the end of the muffler. The muffler corrects the angle of the pipe, so a flush cut was the best move for future consideration (more on that later). I intend to experiment with a Gio muffler that is intended for a 125 Pit Bike. That sounds kinda small, but the pipe diameter actually matches the Beast. I have experience with the Pit Bike muffler, and it's a hot rod piece. Here's the side view of the chopped pipe. I kind of like it this way, but it would likely start the carb and filter on fire. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...edpipeside.jpg It's deceiving from that angle. Here's the pipe from the rear. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...edpiperear.jpg Here's the future consideration I spoke of. T might want a Monster muffler installed eventually, and here's a mock-up of one I had laying around. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...erpipeside.jpg I entertained the thought of just attaching the muffler to the chopped pipe and calling it a day, but it'll likely hit the tire on suspension compression, and there's nothing to attach it to. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...eanglerear.jpg Dig that stinger look. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...eangleside.jpg I decided to weld in a piece of pipe to connect the chopped pipe and the Pit bike muffler. I attached the muffler to the rear rack mount via the supplied clamp. That welding blanket is made by Levis. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...esidefinal.jpg Here's the rear view. It looks straight. Sorta. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...erearfinal.jpg I'll fire it up tomorrow and find out just how obnoxious it is. Stay tuned. |
YOU ANIMAL! WHAT'D YOU DO TO MY QUAD??!?! :evil:
|
Now I'm gonna chop your old muffler into tiny pieces for the entertainment of the forum.
Teach you to leave your quad at my house. |

i was thinking of doing the same thing puting a 125cc dirt bike exhuast. got any sound clip of your exhuast??? how does the power feel
|
Battling a no-start issue as we speak. I thought I found it in the plug wire, but still no joy.
Further bulletins as events warrant. :D |

TurboT's kidding; it's his quad. The brake switch has been confirmed by the brake light and spark (yes, tried other plugs). I think that the new muffler has leaned it right out. Anyone have an idea about how much I should drill out the idle jet? The stocker is a 20.
While on that topic, I'd like similar info on the main jet (currently a 100). I realize that I can buy these, but everything is closed right now. I know that Keihin carbs have a direct metric relationship, but I'm not sure if a Mikuni 100 means 1.00mm. |
It this the stock or performance 125 pipe.

If it won't start with full choke then i doubt the idle jet is your problem, unless it's plugged. I must asked if you have washed it lately?, everytime i wah my son's 50cc it won't start til 24hrs later, there fuel, spark but it just won't start til the next day, time for some dielectric grease for me.
