Kawasaki Motorcycle Forums - View Single Post - N00B Question: Muzzy Exhaust on Ninja 500

skilletrx · 09-09-2007

Hello there KM Forums!

I am fairly new, and am looking at buying a Ninja 500. Its an 06 with 2600 miles. The owner put on a Muzzy Exhaust and did not tune/re-jet the carbs. I was wondering if this is harmful? He has been running 93 octane in case he runs lean. I am really new to bikes and don't want to re-jet/fiddle with carbs. Should I buy it them reinstall the stock exhaust, or will it be okay without a re-jet?

I was thinking about pulling out his spark plugs to see what color they are. Do you guys have any thoughts on this? Can I get away without a re-jet?

Thanks much in advance.
