It is correct that I have a few---thousand miles on it. I have been referred to as iron butt before. I will be checking the compression with my standard auto gauge next weekend. Am hoping I can get away with just replacing some gaskets like the right side I know for sure drips a drop when I park it. This is the first time with this machine that it has used a considerable amount prior to each thousand mile oil change. Thank you all for chiming in...and as always I was waiting fo JR's answer..Thanx again

Slightly larger I dont personally think would have any effect on motor performance. All it is vacume and air from gas tank, with cotton or whatever to filter it. Cant say I have ever had the one on the bike open, but there is not much to these things. Although I have learned what you dont think will effect the bike sometimes does, and rather stongly.

Hey Ernie,
I know alot of these scoots have a destinct smell to them but not of Gas..?...Even after three years mine smells the same when its hot or when I work on it. I am not sure I would purchase a canister yet until you are sure...I mean really sure. Hate to see you spend the money plus shipping and have it still stink. I have done such a thing and the problem has actually been something else. There are only a few things that could give you that strong of a gas smell.. so be sure to eliminate all of the obvious first there guy.

So far with my experiences Any chocking , stalling or kicking issues as far as hill climbing ( and trust I have had plenty ) has always led to not enough air or being to restricted..Have not tried yet to just run carb naked on intake side but have run intake without filter for a run or two and always end up putting filter back on. Roads are plenty dirty and dont need that in the bike..Just my Experience.....

Hey guys, after some research and lots of debate ( what we could afford with reason ) I chose the dragon exhaust syst.

I know some of you are not pleased with these but I think it was a good choice for my situation, as well as I got it for a decent price. The larger pipe will disapate heat well and that should make it last. I was very affraid of the noise factor, but after installation it sounds O.K. to me. Not near as loud as I thought it would be. It needs some modification for the 2008 250B but not that much. It sure looks better and sounds better than my broken muffler

And as you can see in the next shots it was getting quite hot.

and here the first baffle is gone and second one on the way

The third baffle is still in good shape.

This next shot is me rejetting the carb thanx to The Big Guy's instructions and J.R.'s posting

And here is the cheapo can I got from E-bay. Or what is left of it!


Not much as you can see. At the time I did not think so, but it is pretty funny ;D.
So at last a few pics of the new exhaust on the scoot...

And the cool shot intake.

My daughter and I had fun putting it on and modifying it to fit the way we wanted it to. The only bummer was I dropped the drill bits on my bench when we were drilling the jet and I drilled it at 55 intead of 56, And this is to phat for the scoot. So I have ordered new jets. These drill bits are so small they are hard to tell apart let alone put back into the index holder. As of now it runs great up to full throttle mode, then it loses a little power. So waiting for new jets. I am hoping that this exhaust will last more than a year or two going up and down the hill. She looks O.K. and sounds O.K. too....See Ya.

Not too mention uphill my friend. I should find out at what grade the skyway actually is. For why I dont know other than just my curiosity. I did recieve my new parts today and the camera is charging as I speak. I am planning to cut open stock exhaust so you guys can see. Also will take pics of cheapo can from E-bay, as well as new can in box and on bike.....
