Won't hurt anything but your chance to ride because you'll be spending a lot of time on the shoulder with the fuzz parked behind you.

Got passed yesterday by a pack of three. One had open exhaust just cruising and it literally HURT my ears. I can't imagine riding it. Good luck.

There is no way i could ride with no muffler.
I was ridig the otehr day and held it at 11k for awhile. That was way to loud. My ears were hurting. So I can only imagine how loud it would have been open.

what kind of bike? bikes with sensitive valves(ducs) can be damaged just by turning it on without a muffler.
