no it's not true. Maybe they are talking about the whole pipe, but even so.
Best bet is save your money for a newer bike. If that isn't an option then clean the pipe out, repack the muffler. Clean airfilter. Check the powervalves are not broken (common). Grease the rear linkage & those bearings are likely duff.
Buy some new tires.
Here's a tip someone I know had a aircooled 200. They come with a Mikuni carb & the needlejet wears oval on them. Replacing that should help a bunch. The later modeals had Keihens & they worn the slide & boy they are expensive for what you get. (Had an 91 till recently).
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
