My brother recently gave me an old bike he never really used, he got it off a friend in trade for a motor. I've found out it's a 1981 Yamaha YZ250, but he said it's SUPER LOUD, like the cops were called on him last time he started it up.
I imagine I need to clean the carburetor, but I'm worried about the sound. Would I need to just replace the silencer with something like a DG Type II oval silencer? Or would I need to replace the whole pipe? Also, would I need to know how to solder the silencer on to the pipe or do they just come apart?
I'm not very versed in mechanical work, and am starting my adventure here with you all, so any tips (and patience) is appreciated. I promise I'm a quick learner, but would love some experienced guidance in getting this thing running again.

Your bike actually has the stock fenders still on it.
