    My project bike.

    I bought a 1989 'Zuki GS 500e a few months ago for 200 bucks. The guy said it just had a new cam chain put in but the timing was off. I figured it would be an easy fix. I went to time it and the valves were bent.I bought new valves for like 250. The automatic cam chain tensioner was shot, so I bought a manual cam chain tensioner for 75 bucks.(works a lot better) Then I had to get new exhaust bolts because 3 of the 4 were broke off. I still have to put the engine and frame back together, but I was wondering if i could just run it with just the header and a pipe to quiet it a little bit?
    Thanks in advance.

    If it has the stock jets and air box, you can get it to run quite well with an open exhaust. Keep in mind that the base carb settings will be meaningless to you and your going to have to spend some time with it to get it right. If you plan on putting pods on or some form of intake mod...you will have to bump the jet size up and unless you have a drawer full of jets or can borrow some, it can get spendy. A Stage 2-3 might be the cheaper way to go, at that rate.

    Welcom to the fourm! OH... WE NEED PICS!
