CFR 50 exhaust on Vader 125
Well, I ordered the exhaust off Amazon and it finally arrived today. It's an open pipe and it sounds amazing! Only draw back was I did have to buy heat wrap, other than that I'm happy with it!

That looks good! The angle matches the bodywork well. Any performance change?

Thanks, I'm probably going to get black heat wrap. Never used it before and kind of didn't apply it correctly. We live and learn.

That's a good baseline for quantifying future performance upgrades. When you have a moment, please show us a pic of your stock intake tube.

This is it for now. I have to take it to a bike shop to replace the rear tire, when I do that I'm going to get a quote on carb installation. Maybe have him check it out all together. After I installed the mikuni it didn't start. With a 115 jet, may have to go with a 125 or something, I'll have to see what I have. Still need a taller intake because the carb is touching the head and I know that's not good. I'll get it worked out soon enough, I know with the right set up it'll get up there as far as top speed is concerned. I might even just get a 17t sprocket, cause with the 16t 1st gear is still pretty much useless, tho it is still better than the stock sprocket. (For some reason I'm not seeing the pic, but it is on my profile page.) picture 7 |

Have you taken the time to clean the main and slow jets in the Mikuni?

How much did it run? Can a mechanic install? Is it loud? If very loud, anyway to see the benefits and minimize the sound?
