Issues that arose with my ride today..

[djscottymiami]

#1 - 32MPG is the highest I got on the whole 500km trip. It sucked. I need to check my valves and such but my bigger issue is #2


#2 - Just before leaving our second last stop, I noticed that my muffler had cracked all the way around around 2 inches forward of the rear exhaust bracket. There's just a small piece of metal holding the muffler to the exhaust pipe.


Where can I get mufflers / complete exhaust systems for an '80 GS850? It's the pipe on the rear brake pedal side that split. The muffler on the gear shift size isn't fairing too much better but it looks like its in one piece.

Hi Mr. djscottymiami,

Those pipes should fit, but they look like '79 pipes and not '80 pipes. The '80 and later years have the crossover "pre-muffler" and the '79s did not.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I wish i could find a set for the 8v motors that DIDNT have the premuffler. Dogma has a set on his 850, sounds SOOOO much smoother.
