Great video from across the pond! Another fab upside to changing the factory exhaust system is the the fact that aftermarket ones weigh a whole lot lighter over stock!!!

Stock jetting. MPG is about 65 on the highway. Brisk performance plugs are a nice addition. Runs great. Exhaust has somewhat the same impact as stock. It is from the UK where noise laws are very strict. I bought the Motad more for appearance and to be one-of-a-kind as I built this bike from a bare frame. I wanted the best parts on him.

The seat is by Gimbel in Germany. It comes primed fiberglass and you paint it to match your bike. They are on ebay as seller id bikeparts79. Go to their store and search in there for GS500 so see the parts they sell for the GS. The seat puts you an inch or two lower making it really nice if you are short like me.

They are R&G Racing frame sliders. You can get them for the "E" model and the "F"models as well (requires drilling hole in fairing but looks really great! Like a GSXR!)
@Lajko112 жыл бұрын
I have seen people drill holes in the end of a stock exhaust. While it makes it louder, it also makes it have a higher, tinnier sound - not deep and throaty. Others might have suggestions. Best I can suggest is get a used Jardine or V&H exhaust.
@Lajko112 жыл бұрын
Check all the bolts. Be sure the 2 bolts that hold the bracket to the can are tight. Insure the rear frame bolt is tight and extra tighten the clamp where the two parts join together under the engine. You might get vibration of your missed the rubber bumper for the center stand. Without that, the center stand can vibrate against it - metal to metal.

Love the video Patrick. Along with my Royal Enfield Bullet I have two GS500s, a naked 2005 K5 and a 2004 FK4. The fairing bike I built from individual parts. It has a 2007 engine in a 2004 frame. I'm thinking of ditching the standard exhaust in favour of an after market sports exhaust. Your motad looks great but here in the UK they're not cheap! All the best Ray.

Oh, the protective bands are R&G Racing muffler guards. A good way to protect your investment in a $400 muffler. Good for stock, too, in case the bike falls over.

Engine bottom is different. Oil cooler doesn't do much. They've been running them for years without one. 2004+ naked bikes in Europe do not have oil coolers. Just the 2004+ "F" models. Even 1989-2000 models with the TCP or Five Stars fairing were fine with no oil cooler unless sittting in really hot weather. Then, the fairing prevents air from getting to an oil cooler anyway.
@Lajko111 жыл бұрын
Yes they will. All GS500 exhausts fit the same because all engines are basically the same and the frames the same except for how the tail plastics mount.

Oil cooler not possible to add to older engines. Not really necessary, either. They were added in 2004 with the fully faired "F" model. Naked bikes 2004+ were still made without the oil cooler.

@Lajko110 жыл бұрын
It depends on the system you buy. No issues with Motad. As for Vance & Hines: 2 bikes with different vintages of it and one bike it is no issue and the other is so close but won't let you remove the filter without dropping the exhaust. On any system I've seen you can remove the drain, though oil may spill on the pipes so cover them with foil or plastic to keep them clean. Oil filter is the only issue on some systems. Sometimes you can get it out. Sometimes all it takes is loosening the headers 1/4" and loosening the rear bolt to let it move a little to gain enough clearance (so not always a complete removal).
