It would mostly kill the top end and rev of the bike, the bottom end power difference would be very slight but likely not noticeable

Out of curiosity: what would a 250 carb do? The same?

Do you know if the pipe is a dessert or woods? That does make a difference.
You can also change the gearing to get more low end performance.

im not sure which pipe it has?how can you tell the difference? im planning on gearing it down to try to help.i read another post that advancing the timing will also help at the expence of some top end.any thoughts on this?

I'm not big on advancing or retarding the timing myself. If it has a Dessert pipe, it is going to "sail" down the trail at a good pace. If it has a Woods pipe, you will feel the torque-iness w/stock gearing. I have a 93 (new top end and a rad valve) w/woods and 95 (probably time for a top end, no rad valve) with the dessert. The 93 is so much fun in the woods, but the 95 just rips. I actually like the 93 one tooth up on the front and the 95 w/stock gearing. But, these engines do perform different than each other. I don't know why, but the 93 has always seemed more "stout" on the bottom than the 95, even before the new top end.

Anyways, you probably have the dessert pipe, which you loose some bottom end torque with. Up top, it will "haul the mail" though.

mid and top end power very good,and seems to have a nice hit in the midrange.seems weak or sluggish down low on power.fredette racing has the torque ring which ive read on here are mixed opinions on how it makes engines perform.the bike is new to me and in really good shape.i may put the woods pipe on and sell the desert pipe and reevaluate how it performs.

If you are serious about that, I could use a dessert pipe, right about mid December, I don't have a woods pipe to trade, but I still would buy yours.
