whoa. gnarly pipe.
I just put my gnarly desert pipe on my 220 just to check it out. I didn't mess with the jetting yet but the pipe in itself made a huge improvement. the bike wants to rev much easier now. I did notice a little bit or barely a power loss of the bike in the low end. but it has a nice linear power band that keeps going know and will rev out quite nicely. now I am going to see what I can do with the jetting and install my v-force reed system that I got yesterday. I do have a question though On my airbox I just removed the snorkel. do you guys recomending cutting more out of the box. also what jetting do you recomend. stock carb 500-5500 feet, 40-80 degrees. thanks for all your tips. the trail rider.

you know what happened. when I first got my silencer I loosened my pipe mounts. my dad made me put loc tite on the bolts. BAD IDEA, when I put my pipe on today everything went smooth until the bottom mount near the waterpump on my bike the stud snapped. I think I can drill it out and put a bolt and nut through it though and it should be a quick fix I hope.
get a lift, fat chicks can't jump!
when in doubt gas it!

Loctite should be used. Well...the right type should be used.
What color was it?
Don't use anything RED!

Yes. You are correct even.
RED is used only when:
1. You don't plan on taking it off.
2. If you DO take it off, it requires something other than hand tools (larger fasteners) and likely heat, too.
The RED part is applicable to not ONLY Loctite, but other thread locking agents I've seen as well.
But...I guess you know that part now?

FTR:
222MS 222MS™ Threadlocker, Low Strength/Small Screw
MS is for military spec.
My point is that all threadlocking agents are not the same..and going by the color isn't a good idea, either.
Some are anaerobic, some are not. Some should be used with a primer, some don't need it. Some wick, some don't.
Generally, knowing what to use, when to use it and using it CORRECTLY is the best choice.
