I listened to my best friend and my brother and wanted to make the bike louder ( cause it so dang quiet!! ) anyway we proceeded to take the muffler off and just use the exhaust as is. Worked great for about 2 days, the the JB weld worked loosed at the top of the exhaust when it connects at the engine ( the previous owner didn't know what he was doing, he broke the bolt off, stripped it and instead of fixing it he JB welded it in place ) and poof, loss of power. I went and got a new bolt, attempted to take the old one out ( won't come out... yet ) and hooked up the muffler and it works. drove it about 35 miles, got home and wife noticed the cam chain is rattling like some of the videos on here. So next step, cam chain adjustment, then carb cleaning and adjustment and it should be good for another 5000 mile not including the minor usual maintenance.
