Exhaust baffles

Post by Professor » Sat Aug 22, 2015 5:13 pm

I removed the exhaust baffles on my 305 dream. Do I have to make any mixture screw or other adjustments to compensate for the decreased back pressure?

Why ? One of the beauty of a Honda is the quietness of the engines and exhausts.

If you must then more than likely you will have to make adjustments to the carburetion do a plug check, I would think you would be running weak without the baffles in. Me I try to stay as the manufacture intended the bike to run after all in the research and development they went to a lot of trouble to get thing right and we paid for it in the cost of our motorcycles.

Thanks for the timely response!
To answer your question"why take them out?" : because I couldn't stand the rattling of the rotted out right side! I figured taking both out was better than just one until I find replacements.
