    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

muffler differences?

What is the difference between a two stroke silencer and a four stroke silencer? :?
 
Quite a bit. Two strokes rely on the exhause pulses as part of exhaust scavenging, along with port timing etc, to produce power in combination with the engine. A two stroke can die with the wrong exhaust on. On four strokes it is still important, but not as critical. Heard of the expression when a two strokes "comes on pipe"?

Two stroke tuning and exhausts can be a black art compared with four strokes.

Were you thinking of trying to fit a silencer from a two stroke onto your bike???
 
I came across a glasspack megaphone on a two stroke that I really like the sound of, low, mellow, a hum of hidden power. I was considering it for my bike as I really like the sound. :cry:
