Are baffles necessary or not on a 2 Stroke bicycle engine?

is it bad on a motor if you take a baffle out of a two stroke stock motor

I’ve only just taken the end cap off. Power increase but don’t see anything “bad” about it. Just as long as the pipe isn’t too short it’s fine.

baffles are not necessary at all as long as the fuel air mix isn't too lean its good to go

Easier to keep the noise level down by drilling some 5/16" holes in the "baffle" pipe, about four to six at 60 degrees to each other, and clean up the flash on the holes after drilling to keep the flow smooth.

Looks like my bike decided to modify itself

i ran my engine without a baffle for a good 4 months of daily use, no after effects at all (it ran better actually, and idled great!)
i ended up welding a 3/4 pipe fitting on the end of the pipe (to adapt a screw on style muffler, mainly because neighbors were complaining about noise) ended up working great!
long story short. no i shouldn't affect anything (though your results may very)
