Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S exhaust update

[@e.cabrera1861]

You gotta get the Matt Gecko Led headlight. That’s the one I pull the trigger on my Vulcan. It reuses the outer shell of the the stock headlight and gives it such a modern clean look

[@AG_Vlogz]

I'll give it a look

[@hajmaj7565]

Its not Matt Gecko led, its Aliexpress 260$ lights from china. He is only reseller

[@SteveHore]

Just drilled straight through into the baffle. Brilliant sound 👍😆

[@AG_Vlogz]

Sorry about the late response. Been having issues with KZbin but I drilled straight through 😆. Yes, cheap but effective tip that I will not take credit for. I did see it online from someone else doing it but I thought I'd share. Glad you liked it.

[@lawrencebianco8800]

I'm from Malta and I'm going to do it tomorrow, I will start with two first

[@skarpy24]

And... how it is?

[@skarpy24]

What happened to the metal shavings from the drilled holes? Did you check the sound with one hole, then two, and for example three?

[@AG_Vlogz]

I can't say for 100% of them but most flew shavings flew out the holes when I turned it on. I was wearing shorts and felt them hit my leg 🤣. Yes, I started with one hole, then two and so on until I found the decibel and frequency that I liked.

[@toddtimmel6179]

Did you drill into the baffle or just the outer can ?

[@AG_Vlogz]

I drilled through 2 walls inside

[@toddtimmel6179]

How far inside the muffler are you drilling ?

[@AG_Vlogz]

I went as far in as the drill bit went 😆

[@carlostrujillo4750]

Hey i have a 2023 s and been looking for an exhaust system.i agree with you lm not going to pay 600 to 900 to change the sound.i will do what you did great video thanks

[@AG_Vlogz]

Yeah man, I mean, don't get me wrong, I will eventually change the exhaust, but for now, this satisfies that itch I had about replacing it. My car doesn't even have an aftermarket exhaust lol I just removed the mufflers.

[@EricGarcia-w2y]

Have you noticed the heat melting your ABS cable and cowling cover?

[@AG_Vlogz]

No, to be honest, I haven't really rode it in this heat that much, just a hand full of times. When not in use, she's in my garage so I haven't had anything like that occur yet. You have?

[@RomeoHart]

KAWASAKI GANG!

[@AG_Vlogz]

🤙🏼

[@oogenbisonbison9395]

how much does the windshield help?

[@AG_Vlogz]

To be honest, not very much. 😆

[@skarpy24]

"Does it affect exhaust emissions?"

[@AG_Vlogz]

I'm sure it does a but, couldn't tell you for sure. Just as much as changing it for an aftermarket one I'm assuming. No check engine light though 😁

[@MRUGEE]

I did the same thing it isn’t too bad bad haven’t had no issues been riding for a year now

[@AG_Vlogz]

That's awesome! That's good to hear that you have no issues after a year.

[@brianschooley3833]

You gotta do, what you gotta do. To each thier own i say

[@AG_Vlogz]

That's right!

[@SteveHore]

Hello thanks for a great idea and video. How far in did you drill? I’ve drilled mine just through the outer skin is that what you did?. At the moment not much difference but you’re sounds different. Mine’s a 2023 VS. Thanks

[@AG_Vlogz]

I drilled through 2 walls on mine of I'm not mistaken.

[@KingDire420]

Check out the CS racing exhaust. Not a bad price and I think it sounds awesome!

[@AG_Vlogz]

That is a nice one aesthetically and sound wise

[@dingznthingz]

I put CS Racing exhaust on my 2018 Vulcan S. The fit, finish, and sound is absolutely perfect. I hated the looks of the factory exhaust, and the sound was equivalent to a Grom. It definitely had to go. The CS Racing exhaust system is about half the weight of the factory exhaust, and it's 100% stainless steel. I placed my order through CS Racing and recieved it in about 10 days. That's very quick, considering it was shipped from Brazil to Northwest Illinois.

[@danielgarfias5391]

Did you notice any loss of power or abnormalities?

[@AG_Vlogz]

None at all. I actually find myself enjoying it more now 😆

[@danielgarfias5391]

@@AG_Vlogz hell yeah bro that's sounds awesome too! I want to do it but idk if it voids the warranty?

[@alfonsothegreat4481]

It must of cost you some torque

[@AG_Vlogz]

Can't say that it did or didn't. All i know is that i took it on an awesome long ride last weekend and this alone made it a lot more enjoyable. If it did affect the torque, it's not enough for me to feel the difference.

[@mparbus1961]

Sounds lkis a "Dyson" with holes in it...😅

[@AG_Vlogz]

The video never captures the audio quality but sounds worse completely stock 😆

[@mparbus1961]

Just busting Bro...enjoy! I have a 2023 and love it!

[@AG_Vlogz]

@@mparbus1961 No worries. Hell yeah, it's a fun bike to whip around. My electric toothbrush did sound like it had more torque than the bike but I got some decibels out of her with those holes. Not the ideal solution, but for temporary use it'll do. Until I pull the trigger on an actual exhaust.

[@mparbus1961]

@@AG_Vlogz Safe ride'n AG

[@Mark_cheapskate]

Bro. Just buy an exhaust have a tech put it on. 😆

[@AG_Vlogz]

For now I'm good with this setup. The install I can do myself, it's no big deal. The cost is what I'm referring to. I have other priorities that I have to address before I can drop those $600-$900 on an exhaust for my bike.

[@Mark_cheapskate]

@@AG_Vlogz I feel you. That's around how much I paid for mine. But sooo worth it!

[@jotoportillo7128]

Ugly cruiser......

[@AG_Vlogz]

And your opinion is supposed to mean something to me?

[@flesz_]

That thing in your avatar you sitting on is ugly

[@dark420passenger]

For ugly people, beautiful things looks ugly.

[@MRUGEE]

Lmao wtf are you riding a wanna be sport slash dirt bike 🤣

[@phlexx572]

Nice looking bike. I’m a fan of Vulcan s. I currently have an R1 and really thinking of buying Vulcan s as my 2nd bike for long distance riding.
