Well well,I wondered why my new '14 UH200 was so dang loud!

I put a new Michelin City Grip 2 front tire on my 200 today. I was inspecting the front and rear brake pads, the front were shot totally and the rear was getting very low but is not nearly as urgent as the front. I called my local shop and ordered a set of EBC's. While I was back there inspecting the rear brakes what did I spy??? The upper bracket on the back of the muffler was broken clean off with a 50 cent size piece of the muffler too. So I took all 3 mounting bolts off and loosened the clamp where it joins to the header pipe and slipped it off. It was still AM so I took it to my local muffler shop and he said no problem just leave it with him. I went back this afternoon after my PM run and picked it up no charge! I took it home bolted it on and man what a huge difference it made! It cranks better,runs a hell of a lot better and the sound is exactly what I wanted from the start,nice and quiet!! I thought the dang thing sounded waaay too loud to be a stock muffler!! LOL The bracket attaches on the back side where you can't see it so I don't feel bad about missing it!! So happy with the results,it's been running a bit lean and sounded like crap. Not any more,it runs like new!! I can't blame the last owner,I missed it too till I got down on the floor and was looking behind the muffler at the hidden caliper. The patched up muffler bolted back on like a brand new one,everything lined up perfect! Amazing!!! So I rode the wife around a little after all that and she digs it too!! YEAH! That huge back seat is a God send! BTW the bike came with a like new Kenda on the rear so with the new Michelin on the front she's good to go. When the rear wears down I'll put a Michelin on the rear too. As I work out all the bugs on this bargain priced UH200 I'm more and more pleased! I ordered a new belt the other day so that's next on the agenda. That and a coolant and brake fluid change. Cheers!
