hello all
My name’s Michael and I just purchased my first bike, 1999 250r. I had a bike before it but long story short, I’m still a decently new rider, and excited to start riding legally. I didn’t realize this bike had such a following before I purchased it, and it’s very cool seeing all you other people with the same bike, and so passionate about it. Definitely helpful since I’m still learning motorcycles, and since this bike wasn’t in the best condition, I’ve been having to do some work of my own on it. But thanks to y’all great people posting all the answers to any question I ever have, it’s gonna be running great soon, hopefully.
As of now I’m just trying to find a nice sounding exhaust, preferably on the louder side but nothing that my neighbors will bitch at me for, at least not too much lol. I know there’s routes with welding it on your own but I’m not that inclined, nor do I have the tools for that. I’m sure I can manage replacing a new system though, but that’ll probably be too expensive as well. Looking for something under around $250-$300. |

Welcome pennman! My preference is a bone stock exhaust system because all the louder ones I've heard tend to make the bike sound like a lawnmower.

Hi Michael and welcome to Ninjette!!!
You don’t have to spend that much for mufflers. Search for “el cheapo Ali exhaust” and you find some good deals. Before tarrifs kicked in, i got pair for $58! |
