Starting the bike with no exhaust?

[Tombstones81]

Most likely going to have fresh oil, filter, plugs, & gas in the bike before my new exhaust.

Want to get it started just to make certain I didnt mess anything up.

Would it be safe for the bike to start it without any exhaust on at all???
I dont care about noise.
Just wanna make sure if I can or not.

A missing slip-on is one thing, but no pipe at all is supposedly bad for exhaust valves (cold air can warp them), never tried it to find out.

No muffler = safe for a while

No header or ANY pipe = Extremely unsafe for the motor and poses a potential fire hazard

That's the bottom line!

I went out today with no muffler.  I also had earplugs though cause it is raucously loud.  I wouldn't run an engine with no header at all though.  Tombstone I have a full GS exhaust if you need one.  (?)  I'm not doing anything with it, just using it for wall decoration.
