Is the header, where it's connected to the engine and starts to curve downward, gold colored or is it a nice shiny silver like the rest of the exhaust. With that mileage, if it's been running lean it'll show up.

Thanks for the help! I guess if it's not making too much noise it should be ok.

In New Mexico where I live there is no noise limit for bikes. I looked it up.

I did find since my earlier postings that a K&N carb jet was installed on it.
