claremore, OK
Affects the performance of this bike? I was looking at buying this but the exhaust pipe has a huge dent in it and the seller does not mention it. Surely the dent in the pipe isnt some amazing engineering feat.

1985 CR125
 
Simple fix. If you have a chest freezer you can cap both ends of the pipe fill with water, let it freeze and the dent should pop out.
 
^^^LOL...Thats exactly what I was gonna say to do. Buddy did it on his when he laid his bike over along time ago. Thought it was fake but it did work. If I remember correctly it took a couple times though.
 
i have heard that a dent in the pipe increases compression and actually performs better, but im not so sure about the exhaust. im only saying this because some guy i know told me that he read about it in an article in dirt riders
