To the best of -my- knowledge it won't cause any damage. However, the engine will be quite strangled above 4000 rpms or so. I did that for a while on my PV (original style 1 1.4 inch ID exhaust). The engine was just missing that 'on cam' feel it should have gotten above 3500 rpm, and the pwoer just trailed off slowly. When I finally got around to putting a header and 2.25 inch exhaust I found all the power that had been hiding.

I bought the header used for $125. And the ehxaust was done up very nicely by a muffler shop with stock tubing and 2 18 inch glasspacks for another $180. I should have gotten at least one real muffler, though. It's pretty loud with just the glasspacks, at least with the throttle open.
