My bike's been running slow. I took the exhaust of, and the bike was able to reach top speed. Anyone happen to this?Thanks.

dont run without an exhaust dude.. or it will lean out and cause the world to spin the other way if your not running the correct input parameters on the flux capacitor ;)

But yeh I'd say your up for a banana exhaust or something of the like. Maybe check your plug too after a wot sesh to see if ur running a tad rich.

What oil ratio are you running? If you're following the kit instructions and using a 16:1 mix it's a good bet your muffler is getting oil fouled.

Try cleaning the exhaust system and dropping down to no more than a 24:1 fuel to oil ratio.
Let us know what you find. There are other things we can look at that could cause your loss of power.
Whatever, do not run your engine without the exhaust/muffler. You'll be replacing the engine very soon if you do, and your neighbors will be forming a lynch party.
