Will a GS 400 exhaust fit on a 250?

[sal paradise]

Hi ,

Long time lurker, first post..I picked up a really nice 1981 GS250T for my wife. Got it basically for free, put a starter in it, changed the wrheels to cast, cleaned up the electrical a little and she's been a fantastic little bike. Here is is as I bought it - [/IMG]



As you can see, the exhaust system is less than perfect. I found an exhaust system for a 1981 GS 400 - will that fit on my 1981 GS 250?

Thanks for any help you can give - love this forum,

Regards

Sal Paradise

Should. Can't see why it won't however, you may notice a slight flat spot in the midrange and if so...bump the jet needles up a bit.

Thanks very much guys. My guess is they are the same unless the head exhaust ports are different. From what I have been told, the 250 is just a smaller top end on a 400 anyway. Is there a cross reference for part numbers?

I bet they would fit just fine.

Sorry to hijack but you said you switched to cast wheels? Any chance you want to get rid of the spoked wheels?
