BIKERS ONLY! what do you feel when you take your bike for a ride?

Well depends, If you got those pipes for performance yes it is important, but if you only got them cause they were loud then no. But I would re-jet anyway, simply bc it doesnt costs that much, and the benefits you get from it.

Scooter that is drinking petrol!?

re-jet ,if you run lean it will get that motor very hot,hopefully not enough to melt pistons.

How many of you bikers/motorcyclist are involved?

Rejeting is very important. Changing to custom exhaust usually lowers back pressure this causes a lean condition. Lean fuel causes over heating, backfiring and popping back through the valves. In short term valve and piston damage, in long term major engine damage.
