    Correct exhaust system for a gs550e?

    Hi all ive been on this forum before and got the right answers
    so can you tell me of the correct exhaust system for a gs550e 1980
    my bike is fitted with a system with no balancer pipe but ive just found a set on ebay that were taken off a gs550e and they have a balancer pipe
    i dont know if mine are correct because i got the bike with this system on it ie no balance pipe
    i have had problems running the bike in the past, will this balancer make a deal of differance to the bike running correctly? I know suzukis are tempremental to exhaust alterations and wont run properly unless they have the stock parts fitted
    my bike has always started missfireing above 6,000rpm could this be the pipes?
    Regards roy

    According to the parts fishe there should be a balance pipe. Info like this is quick and easy to look up using one of the various on-line parts fishe such as the one available here... http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

    The lack of balance pipe won't cause the problem you mention. If your bike has pods though, that would. A couple of other things that come to mind is the Ignitor could be bad or maybe the carbs are dirty. Not sure. If you would tell us more about the bike, such as the maintenance history, and when the problem started, it would help figure out the problem.

    Good luck and welcome.
