Mine sounds very similar to the second bike. Both of your bikes are sik btw \m/ do I need to keep the baffle plate, or just drilling holes is better? And ill def be trashing anything I find inside that's not absolutly needed to make the engine run. I'm not looking to do 50 just would like to see 30 other than going down hill or least get it to wind out a little better

here's what the baffle (the long tube) the end cap and the baffle plate(disk) look like.

they are all welded together.
I drilled 2 holes just in the baffle plate (the disk) on the opposite side of the end caps exit hole.

here's what the cateletic thing in the muffler looks like.
it;s stuffed way up in the muffler by the head pipe, and on my mufflers it was held in place with a single screw that's accessable on the outside of the muffler. not sure if your has this, or if it's welded in or what.
but, all i did was take the screw out, and it fell out of the muffler.


I'm no expert on this, and there may be a better way, but this is what worked for me.

ok...so when you try to go full throttle, does it feel like the engine is bogging down or like it's running out of gas?
or does it just get to a certain rpm and not climb anymore?
have you messed with the jet needle in the carb yet?
if not, pull the slide out of the carb (the jet needle is in the center of the carb).
remove the needle & drop the E clip that's on it, one notch.
this will raise the needle, and give you more fuel.
BUT, normally, changing the E clip setting will not affect full throttle...it usually only has an effect from idle to about 3/4 throttle.
you may have to re-jet your carb if you're getting a lean bog at wide open throttle.
it blew the carb off?
you may not have had it tight enough.
I have no idea why it would have blown the air filter off tho because they are held on with 2 screws. maybe the screws were loose and they vibrated out?

look at your cdi where the spark plug wire goes in.
some of them have the wire epoxied in and some don't.
try twisting the spark plug wire counter clock wise to loosen it.
the plug wire is just screwed onto a sheet metal screw inside the cdi.
if yours is not epoxied in (you should see the epoxy around the wire if it is) you can unscrew the wire. then get an automotive wire with a rubber boot and screw it back onto the screw in the cdi.
this will give you a better wire with a better boot (you will have to re-install the little screw on cap that goes on top of the spark plug because an automotive boot needs it to lock onto it.
if your wire is epoxied into the cdi, i'm pretty sure that you can cut away the epoxy, and i'm pretty sure that it will still have the scew inside that the wire screws onto.
you may also want to upgrade to an ngk spark plug (B6HS) if you haven't done that yet.

...had the chain lock up and break. That part worked out great. Caused me to have to shorten the chain and I am now running no tensioner.... Oh and had spark plug boot blow apart a couple times....

Congrats on ditching the tensioner, the day I got rid of mine is the day I started liking my bike, cause I didn't have to wrench every ride any more!
The kit plug boot is just crap, brittle as he!!, you should just do away with it. Either buy a plug wire/boot from SickBikeParts.com or other source thats sells automotive style wires, or go to your local auto parts store and ask them to see their selection of single plug wires and pick something from there that will work. I have posted more details on how I repleaced mine many many times before, so if you search you should find it....

Plug/wire/boot/chain are 4 things in the kit that just need to be ditched and replaced, the tensioner should either be ditched and run without or buy/build a more effective designed tensioner. If you do the above you are going to miss out on a lot of the joy of constantly fixing your new MB....

Mine was epoxied in, it was a PITA but I picked the rubber and glue out with small tools and there was a wood screw in there for the wire to thread down on just like yours. So the glue just makes the job a bit tough, not impossible.
I dont know what is being sold as an "upgrade" plug wire/boot, but I would just go with an automotive wire and be done with it....

...As far as the carb goes I have no idea how to adjust it. It came with a couple of jets but I have no idea how to change them out. ......use of an off set intake to clear the frame. Not sure if intake makes a difference or not.

Click to expand...

The offset intake can definately have an effect, usually negative. I think the rule of thumb is the shorter the intake the better? What kind of air filter are you running? A big cone style?

...I also have 2 extra heads that use the strait up spark plug b/c I am forced to use the slant head due to frame being so tight.

Click to expand...

A rubber automotive plug boot is flexible and can make it on a plug that is much closer to the frame tube than the rigid boot that comes with the kit. My frame is almost too tight for the angle fire head, the stock boot wont fit but the rubber one does. As long as there is a little room between the plug and tube the rubber boot should fit... Just fyi...

On the air filter... I see you have the clamp on style, and the one you have isn't particularly low profile...
When you pull the filter off the carb, are there screw holes to mount an air filter? If so, you may be able to run the same air filter I got from SickBikeParts.com pictured below. It is super low profile, its bigger around to allow the surface area for the filter so it doesn't have to be so deep. I don't know why they didn't do a side shot of that filter to show just how thin it is....

PS The forum wouldn't allow me to upload the above picture because I had uploaded it in a different thread already. Can anyone tell me how to attach an image to a post that has already been uploaded? This has been a source of frustration to me in this forum....

tl;dr
What carb do you have? I am curious as mine runs lean...

Cool.
I have the CNS carb, it annoys me, but mostly because i need to re-jet it. Runs way too lean. Where'd you get your jets from? Dax?

Hmm, I guess I should consider that.
Would def. clean my bars up and make messing with the choke easier.
