I am considering buying a K bike that has a Luftmeister exhaust and chip. I have always kept my bikes stock with regard to pipes and etc so this is a new subject for me. Can someone help me with information as to whether the Leftmeister equipment is a good thing? I have heard that the Luftmeister pipes are really loud which is not what I want. Thanks for the info you might be able to provide.

You could always sell it for big coin and get a nice used exhaust.

Hi T (I'm not calling anyone Daddy) - welcome to K11! I don't know how loud Lufty exhausts are - but, like Ted says, you could easily sell it and buy stock.

I thought about selling it and replacing it with stock, however, if it would be advantageous to have it on the bike I could live with it. What does the chip do for the bike? Thanks

Supposedly, the exhaust and chip give you more hp... I think you'd have to see it on a dyno to know for sure. I wouldn't let the fact that it's on there stop me from buying it. If it's too loud, I'm sure you'll have no trouble selling it.

Thanks for the info guys. HP increase isn't important but I think I might give a shot at buying the bike. Very Happy

Here's Ted's buying guide: http://verrill.org/moto/kbikebuyingguide.shtml You might want to take a look at it.

Good luck!
