I'm not sure which model pipe it is, but it sounds good. I'm going to take the bike in today. The guy working there thinks I'm nuts, but oh well.
i am pretty sure that is the ssr-2, that V&H pipe, the D&D Show-n-go and the yoshi rs-3 are the only pipes that really fit, other than the kerker and the stock can.

are you selling bike as a whole or as parts. not that i need anything but i'm sure there are members on here that would find this a good opportunity to get replacements or spares.
i am going to sell it as a whole, i have fought for far too long and pt WAY too much cash to see this baby come apart. i would really like to keep it being my first bike and all, but it just doesnt have the performance i want and just plain and simple an old bike. dont get my wrong, i absolutely love it, but my initial mistake was buying it so quickly, i didnt know ANYTHING about bikes and just wanted to get in the saddle. now that i know what to look for and what i want, it will be better. i really want a 600RR but those might be a little high for my budget so i will probably opt for an F4 or F4i. and i am planning on waiting until i find the right bike.

performance... ha! from a 15+ year old bike? maybe with a lot more money and downhill in a hurricane. no pun intended.
i know how you feel, but sometimes as with many old things, old car, old bike, old lady, you just gotta be patient. you're going to learn alot from this bike, because once you get into fuel injection, it's a whole nother ballgame.
keep the bike a little longer and maybe you can have 2. a runner and a project.

that is what i would like to do, but only if i can afford the upkeep on two bikes. its not really a lack of performance, as much as stuttering after 20+ minutes ripping it up in this texas heat.

alright well I called the shop and the guy doesn't sound like he really wants to do it. He said that there could also be a problem with the crank, and replacing that could cost anywhere up to $900.
So I thought I might post what the engine is doing on here and see if anyone has any advice as to what I should do.
It starts up and runs great, but when it gets up to about 3k rpm, something starts clacking in the engine. As engine speed increases, clack speed increases. But it doesn't clack at idle or when i rev it up slowly until it gets to about 3k rpm. Hopefully you guys can help.

clack, you say?
hmmm, try this.
take a long screwdriver. one that will reach far into the engine bay and will keep you a little bit away from the engine heat. some noises get reverberated throughout the engine case. what this does is narrow and amplify the noise through the handle.
now, take the handle end of the screwdriver and put your ear at the end of the handle. take the pointy end of the screwdriver and place it where you think the noise is coming from. you need to have it on the engine case, not near it. you should be able to narrow down the area from which the noise is loudest as you listen through the handle. place the screwdriver at various points around the engine cases, underneath, over top, sides, front and back.
post back up where you narrowed down noise to be coming from. you'll probably have to have someone roll on the throttle while you hunt for the noise.

thanks for the advice michigan...but my dad already ripped the engine out before I got a chance to try it out. apparently he found a new engine for the bike at a salvage yard and bought it with a lifetime guarantee. So right now the bike is hanging from our car lift totally gutless. I'll post some pics when I get home from work. We're going to start putting the new one in today.

Look at it this way, you picked up the bike cheap, you'll drop a couple hundred bucks to make it operational. It is a great bike, it's no RR but don't let the age fool you. These bikes haul a$$.

Ok I have new update.
My dad and I pulled the old motor and put the new one in. It went in much easier than we thought it would considering we're used to "shoe-horning" big block V8's into small muscle cars like Novas and Mustangs. We really had no problems other than we broke the dipstick on the old motor. So today we're going to put the carbs back on and add some oil and coolant and try to fire it up.
That's another question I have...When my dad pulled the carbs off he said that he didn't make any adjustments on them (intentionally or accidentally) but I'm still wondering if we're going to have to have them synced or re-jetted for this new motor. Any advice?

pretty sure you dont need to rejet unless you put a new exhaust on it, but the syncing depends on if they were synced right to begin with, or if they were messed with, its kind of hard to do it unintentionally but i would do it cause you have no way to know if they were right to begin with.

Update: It's running. And it's running good. The only weird thing...the shift pattern is reversed. Instead of it being 1 down 5 up, its 1 up 5 down. Not sure if I put something on wrong or if the transmission is just different, but I don't really mind.
So I have a bike now! Woopee
