    Yeah fuck it Im just gonna cruise at a hundred. But yeah my pipe does pop when i button off. I heard an AIS blocker stops this, but the popping isnt really bad for the bike anyway...

    Im getting a bit of air escaping at the base of my muffler, like around a seam part, looks like it supposed to do that, but maybe something need tightening, everyone think I should tighten the screws up? The air escaping is on the muffler itself, not between the muffler and the pipe.

    You may find that is a hole deliberately put there to let water out of the muffler. Mine 'pops' but that's cause it's a v-twin, and the 650 is much louder (and much more awesome). I think you may be over-thinking and worrying excessively! Get on the bike and ride, mate!

    haha nah i just feel like posting on the forums, so thinking of stuff to say. Cant wait until I can I get a 650cc or something of that size. What would be the best 2nd bike someone could get? Im thinking something big straight away so I can just keep it for ages.

    My CBF250 rev's at 7000 rpm at 100 kph - feels strained too and I also do wonder if the bike is okay at that speed at those rpm's

    Nah its ok. As long as you aren't riding around continuously using 3/4 throttle or more, then you will be fine. Even my 650 is doing 5,500 rpm at open road cruising speed - only 1500 rpm less than yours.

    Riding any little bike full-throttle everywhere will eff it.

    I'm sure it is fine, my 1200 bandit does 100 at around 4000 RPM so you're doing pretty well being only on a 250.

    My GT250 reports 7000rpm at 100kph(indicated), and around 8500rpm at 120(indicated)

    100kph is about 110(indicated) on my speedo
    Currently at 37000km on the clock.

    I've done over 170 on mine and it wasn't too happy with me, but it did do it. It sits at 100 quite comfortably but there is not a lot of torque left if you are in 5th gear at that sort of speed so if you want to pass anyone, it's best to drop a gear or two.

    yeah I actually do 90-100km of commuting a day, about 70% of that is 100-115km/h. I've been doing it for 3-4months now and there has been no problems so far, I keep the bike in good order and keep it serviced so I think its all fine, just look after the bike.

    Give it heaps mate!

    Regarding the popping and exhaust leak - 'pop' down to Repco or SuperCheap and get a small tube of high temp silicone sealant - loosen off that pipe, give it a good squirt of sealant and tighten - leave it to set overnight minimum. This should cure the air leak and vastly reduce or remove the popping.

    Any particular brand or anything to look at on this one, AllanB?

    My Hyo sounds like a 21-gun salute whenever I am decelerating since I have put the new can on. I think there are a couple of holes in the headers or something... keen to get that resolved ASAP!!
