Why you may be asking? Because the stock exhaust looks like dogshit and because I feel like it. Anyway's, will running the bike without a muffler for a prolonged period of time damage the bike in any way? If so, how will it damage it? I know that it will slightly alter the back pressure on my engine but even then wouldn't it be fairly minimal and wouldn't this only effect mpg and specs rather than any actual damage?

Can you say burnt exhaust valves?

 

[Joeboo]

It will no doubt burn out the exhaust valves, run lean & run like crap.
Buy a slip-on at least, also is it worth the fine when officer plod pulls you up?

some reckon you meet the nicest people on a honda,
but that excludes all the other interesting people
who also care for and value, their honda..

Don't forget to cancel your insurance first.

 

[bongiorgio]

[pooder7]

Is the OP for real?

 

[Metalstorm]

Remember what I said on 'that other thread'? Well.. After seeing this I retract it all!

I really hope for his bike's sake that the OP is simply trolling us along and not at all serious about running with no pipe.
Otherwise MotoMike is gonna be this weeks champion on Jeopardy

 

[Nithesh]

what next? gonna ride around without the wheels because you find them ugly? invest in a slipon atleast if you cannot stand it. And if you cannot afford it just sticker the shield black and imagine it does not exist

 

[don'tpanic]

I love my quiet little motorcycle - but then - I'm old (56).

I have a black shield on order and my silver one is here in my living room waiting for warm weather. It will probably get blacked out, too.

I like the sound of my bike just the way it is also. I'm 59 myself .

Note to OP - as you will eventually learn, some questions are better left to search for rather than ask. Google is your friend.

Here are some search results for you to peruse:

Is it possible to run a straight pipe without a muffler without engine damage? - Honda Motorcycles - FireBlades.org

Running with no muffler? : Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

Also, if you are indeed just trolling, well played!

I would recommend to leave the exhaust on the bike!

1. In many countries it is not legal to ride without an exhaust.

2. The exhaust gases won’t come out behind you, but direct from the engine under you, they are hot, so will move upward an you will breathe them in, especially when not moving, for example waiting in traffic, that would be weather pleasant nor healthy.

3. Take a look how the exhaust looks like:

After removing the exhaust water or dirt could come into the cylinder head, maybe also into the combustion chamber, and that would not be good for both parts of the engine and their components.

4. The motorcycle will be very loud.

If you don’t like the original exhaust you can put another one on the bike, but in my opinion that’s a waste of money and time.

Let us know about your experiences on the CBR250R without an exhaust, if you have them.
