Man, I guess I'd better try that. I added stickers to mine, it's probably way slower now, of course mine is white/red, so it may not matter.

...........the fix blue yfz riders have come to agreement on to be competitive is--------- lose the oil, oil pan, drain plug! they say the thing rips, but they have never finished a race, so its not common knowledge yet

OK, I'll try it once. Be right back...

The screw is the one on the bottom side end. Just remove it and start your YFZ up for like 5 minutes. Then get some needle nose pliars and pull on it till it pops out. You should be able to get it out quick.

ok cool money kinda tight now so i think i'm selling the yoshimura pipe to get some cash back and just use the stock one with the baffle out now do i still have a spark arrestor in there or the baffle part of the spark arrestor???

The baffle is the spark arrestor, so with it out you don't have an arrestor.
