I will contact Lancer about the jets. As for the muffler is there something about the stock that is really bad? Do new pipes add that much more horsepower? Personally I don't feel the need to get real loud pipes and my wife would hate them.

Got my bike with the stock pipe. Just above idle it reminded me of a old VW bug (that whistle noise the exhuast use to make). Ran fine I thought. What did I know, I had just graduated up from a '82 250cc Honda.
Got a loud muffler on eBay. Now, I'm not sure it's faster, but I do get a smile factor. Made a baffle to help quite it down. Well, I let you know, don't use copper in the baffle if you make one. (don't ask how I know). It was getting louder again and had to keep adjusting the jet as it changed.
So....bought a Dyna take off the other week. I found that it's just above the noise level of the stock pipe but slightly deeper. I might have kept it because it was good running, .....but, went back to the louder pipe, this time with an all steel baffle. I guess I'm going thru a mid-life cirsis and what to make noise...... Huh

Only I'm pacing myself with a series of mid-life dilemmas. Saving the crisis option for later use if needed.

The Supertrapp isnt exactly loud, well, its kinda loud, but its not brash. It sounds like a well tuned engine, not just a noisy exhaust. It roars on hard accel, it rumbles & crackles on decel, or, if ridden gently, it will roll thru a hospital zone & not make anyone mad. 14 disks, a 150 main, stock pilot, almost stock white washer,& it delivers between 47 & 48 mpg riding with no consideration for mileage.That much fun & that much performance for that kinda money is a Good Deal, IMO.

I paid Blue Book value for it. $2175. Blue Book assumes it has 11k miles and no fairing. I am happy and the previous owner is happy. Probably could haven gotten it for 2k but it just felt right to offer Blue Book.

WOW.. Now I know I stole mine.

bought it feb 29 2008,

its a 2003 black with 70 original miles on it. garage kept and started and maintenance all done.

$2,300.00 what he owed on it.

he bought it for wife. she never rode it so he just made the payments and made her watch the money go for no reason.

finally he got fed up and pretty much gave it to me for that price.

Great starter bike, I havent rode in about 18 years so this is great for me.

congrats. I just got mine 2 weeks ago. its also a 2000 green with 3500 miles. I paid 1500, but it also had a broken mirror and dented tank.

so i'd say you paid a fair price. welcome to the forum.
