Gnarly pipe sucks ass

[richgilb]

I just put one on my 200 to find I gained a small amount at the bottom but lost more than that at the top. I was expecting the top to stay the same and it just fill a hole at the bottom...... how many people have discovered this and found rejetting to the pipe sorted this out or did yours feel like the top end was untouched without jetting?

put a fatty on mine as the front pipe was fooked, also replace the silencer for a power core and carbon boyeson reeds.
I did not feel any gain. I've just replaced my needle with the n3eg and finally I have a different bike
I remember reading up on the jetting and I sure it said not is required

It's all I know. For the riding I do it doesn't bother me, very seldom at WFO.

by what I've read the Gnarly pipe isn't very good on the 200. The Fatty is supposed to be better but I don't think FMF makes the Fatty for the 200 anymore.

for reference/food for thought, my parts manual shows the 200 and 300 use the same stock pipe (2004 year). The 250 and 125 have there own pipes. Yet FMF only has one Gnarly pipe for the 250/300 (either or) per their web site.

I have a Fatty on my 200 and low end is so so, mid is real nice and top end screams. I do have a stock gas gas 200/300 pipe but have not tried it yet to see how it compares. Still working on jetting and such with the current setup. Don't want to change pipes now, I'd be all messed up.

Personal I don't like fmf stuff. Pro circuit and bills pipes have always worked great for me. fmf always felt....flat.... or just top end pipes. To bad there's not much to choose from for the gas gas.

Does anyone know the standard carbs settings for the 200?

Yes, in a word; terrible.
