baffle fell out while riding

and I kinda like it, can I really run it this way,and what do I need to do now?

just make sure its not running a bit too lean, and watch out for cops;)

Yeah it most likely needs to be richened up. I jet my bike with the baffle out and let be a little rich with it in.

Did it survive the fall or is it long gone now?

Mine is just bolted in. I have since replaced the bolt with a wingnut for when I do want it out. I tried it without one day and drove myself nuts. I leave my house at 5:45 am so Im pretty sure the neighbors like that I put it back in also, I know the guy with the car alarm must :evil:

yeah, when I got to school it was hanging by the last inch :laugh: , so when I got home I pulled the other and went out for a ride, it seemed to pull harder, tho that could just be me, I cut my neighbors a break by puling it out into the street before I start it and coasting down my block:whistle:

My gf's KZ400 came with no baffle. I could not believe it when I finally got the little guy running: sounded like a motor 3 times the size, & I was "that guy", setting off all the car alarms going down the street. Definitely not my style, or hers. I ordered a new baffle from Mac a couple days later. I probably ought to pack it with something, it's still pretty loud, but at least it doesn't set off the car alarms now that the baffle's in.
