Yeah, you're kinda breaking new ground here - have not heard from owners cutting off the LIKE's muffler. No idea what that might cause. It has to be giving the ECU fits.
Had a brand new (carbed) CB350 Honda years ago - we broke the exhaust off during a 24 hour enduro - it kept running fine. Just made it easy to spot when coming in for a night rider change - the blue flame shooting out was pretty cool coming across the Texas desert.

This figures to be interesting. You should have a good scooter when you get it sussed.

Changed plug and nothing changed. Still just cranking. The first plug was sparking but it was white. Gonna have to find a different muffler, anyone have a spare 1” ID silencer laying around. Ive got an old supertrapp but its a tad too big. I wouldnt mind the flames. My TT500 shoots fire and doesnt bother me, i just want it to run. A whole new exhaust is about 300 and im just trying to flip this thing.

Battery, terminals, fuses, and lights are all good. I can hear the fuel pump whine when i turn the ignition. Because of the straight pipe i get gas shooting out so i know for sure its pumping. Checked plug on saturday and had good spark but ill get another one incase its getting fouled. A scooter mechanic i talked to said that because of the straight exhaust, its not getting enough back pressure. Does that make sense? Ive never had an EFI bike/scooter. I got a mower muffler at the hardware store and will mount that tonight along with the new plug and respond findings tomorrow

I am having the same problem. I picked up a '13 like 200. It started but ran rough. Rode it home while it surged and sputtered. The man i bought it from said he rode it very infrequently. It only has 350 miles on it. I drained the gas and put fresh 91 non ethanol gas. Now it wont start. It will burp every 20th or so try. The last owner had cut the silencer off and put on a truck glasspack muffler for some reason. I removed that and at the guidance of a local shop the suggested finding a similar replacement. When i try to start it now with a straight pipe, the engine just cranks and spits gas out of the pipe. Engine light blinks six times. Should I go ahead finding a muffler or replace that sensor mentioned above? Any advice would be appreciated
