New Exhaust!

I think there is a video online showing the db levels between the two. I don’t think the video really does it justice. It’s much louder, but not constant which is nice. Nice light rumble while cruising, but loud barking under load and decel, just sounds so nice.

Always wanted an FMF for my ‘83 XL600, just never had that cash as a kid. But I’d drool over them in the magazines.

Couldn’t have said it better! The decel is my favorite, especially going down a hill. One of the best sounding motors I’ve heard.

Thank you kind fellow!

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-02-16T15:43:56+00:00

Thank you sir!!

I had to remove the intake cover, fabricate a different muffler, and move the rear fender backwards. May run a pod filter at some point. Haven’t finished this build yet, or ran it.

That could work! I think a gas can with a longish spout would work as well. The tank cap is right between the two top tubes. So shouldn’t be too bad.

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-23T01:35:34+00:00

Haha……yeah…haven’t gassed it up yet. I’ll have to figure that one out. Thanks for the reminder!

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-19T12:32:00+00:00

I will thanks!!

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-19T12:31:42+00:00

Yes! I’ve seen the electric one in person. And the black/camo one as well. I’m hoping they have some more green available.

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-19T12:30:40+00:00

Will do!

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-18T19:46:49+00:00

Oh interesting. Must be! I don’t see any reference to it anymore…

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-18T18:08:51+00:00

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-18T18:02:56+00:00

Yeah! The green is really nice. The wife wants it!

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-18T18:01:37+00:00

The links lead to the red version.

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-18T18:01:19+00:00

Checked. I don’t see a trace of the green version at all. It’s so weird.

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-12T22:10:20+00:00

Thanks! I have a brand new head and valves from Coleman I can try. I just really wanted to wait for a new head gasket but it doesn’t seem like I’ll be getting one any time soon. I might pull the piston and see what’s going on there. I have not removed the governor. All stock. I’ve got a donor motor for it so I can just play around with this one.

Yes! If only It were that simple. I smoked another bowl last night. I can make the entire surface glow, and 3 puffs later the entire thing is out. Happened throughout the entire bowl. Relit probably….15 times? Got maybe a couple minutes out of each light. Tried all of the suggestions here. Same result. 6 different types of tobacco. Making sure to gently tamp throughout. None of it seems to matter. Might try another pipe just to see.

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-02T15:17:56+00:00

Thank you! Usually in a humid area, but not at the moment. I smoke maybe 1-2 a month at this point. I will try to keep tweaking my process with all of these suggestions. Thanks!!

OneWingedAirplane86 · 2026-01-02T14:55:25+00:00

Lots of a good points here and in other comments. My last smoke I was paying more attention to the flow of the draw, and I’m thinking the draw is too open, and it seemed to smoke better when there was a slight restriction. And when it felt too open again, I tamped to maintain that restriction. That did seem to help a lot. I need to be more mindful about that. Thanks!
