Would shortening the stock pipes/muffler on a 82 yamaha 400 have a significant affect on performance if any? please help if you can, because when i had the pipes separated(on the bottom where they connect) there was a big decrease in performance...not sure if shortening would make it worse,i need to shorten them because they hit the axle(3 wheeler axle on rear) and rub on the tires.PLEASE HELP

I don't know but you have to offer that thing up for a MO road test.

I'll put on my wife-beater and fly out there and do it myself! I believe in the right to bare arms. ;-)

Probably nothing a Factory brand jetkit and some extensive Dyno time won't cure.

You NEED to post more picks of the bike when you have it up and running. It is a hideous looking monster and looks dangerous as hell. And I mean that in the best possible way!

It'll Never Work!

[seruzawa]

Dang. That has to be hard on your tush.

 

[64886]

I just took the seat off so you could see the shock i put on.

Sweet Jesus! Please post your basic personal info so I can get a life insurance policy on your ass tomorrow!

PS: Canola oil will work better on those pipes than shortening. Less scorching, better taste, lower chlorestorol.

Wow!

I'd put the number to the nearest ambulance service on your speed-dial!

My dinky little Honda 200X 3-wheeler did everything it could to launch me over the bars. That is, when it wasn't trying to tear my shoes off and shoot them down the hill.

The 200x was a sweet ride. Not quite the 250R but still a fun trike. Too bad the safety nazi's killed them off. Keeping them from highsiding WAS the fun part.

Simply awesome! I agree with Airhawk. That looks like a fun little deathtrap you've got there.

Keep in mind, though, that MO's forum is filled with the strangest group of f**k-ups and freaks. So, take our grinning approval with a grain of salt.

My riding buddy had the 250R. After seeing him flying through the air a couple times (without the bike), I decided that not only did I not want to own one, but I didn't even want to ride one. We said it had an "ambush" power curve.

It seemed to delight in getting sideways and lifting one or more tires off the ground. Which, to those who have experienced a three-wheeler, is fine. However, it is almost impossible to survive the landings when you're sideways.

Mine has around the same hp as a Liquid 250r(about 40) its not the same quick and snappy two stroke power, but it has alot of low end torque and when you open her up she goes pretty good.And thanks for the interesting comments on it lol.

 

[mscuddy]

Jeezuz, that thing probably handles like a whelbarrow full of bowling balls falling down a flight of stairs. But I dig it. See what too much beer and a welding torch will do?
