Have one on my Gen 1 KLR650 and Love it, I have tried the $20 dollar quiet insert but like the way it comes. Nice to have the option for a quieter bike. I bought a Lexx for my XR650L that is sitting in the box still. I have the FMF power core on it right now that is way too loud even with the FMF quiet insert. I'll be ditching the FMF for a quieter and better sounding LEXX pipe. Construction on Lexx is great, mine still black. Nice to have options with Lexx.

I just installed the Lexx yesterday on a Gen 2. Just before that I took out the snorkel and upgraded to K&N air filter...that really opened up the KLR making a much smoother and throatier ride. Adding the Lexx seems to complete things. Between these 3 things the bike had a much more enjoyable feel, less vibrations. I tried without the silencer/spark arrestor and it's not good for the performance, lots of backfires and lag feeling. Much better as is and loud enough, but I could go a touch louder. Also when you're not revving it's very quiet

Not really. I ride with a guy who has Leo exhaust, opened air, inline controller and they broke the ecm. My bike on the shop dyno makes 34 hp, he has 900 in parts he installed after work, now has 40hp, did hit 41 on a pass. It sounds good tho. Timing was adjusted as well. He probaly gets a solid ten feet on me in both 3rd and 4th gear.. Most the extra power did nothing til then due to gearing. However he went 14 x 50 or so now, but hasn't pulled it out due to weather. We assume 65 70 will be the new top speed maintain high, could hold 80 85 before. He may as well delete or quit using 1st gear now tho, and it creates a lurch and jump effect, nearly impossible not to toss yourself engine braking in the wrong situation. All in all, exhaust on the klr will give some extra, but mostly in allowing cars next to you to know your there sometimes. This is all done on 2 identical 2022 models. Minus color.

@@exposingthetruth3821 I have size 15 feet so I just installed the 1” extended shifter from happy trails in Idaho. It’s a substantial chunk of steel. Made a huge improvement. I also installed a set of Pivot Pegz the MK4 models and couldn’t be happier. At 260 pound the stock rubber pegs were awful and slippery. The pivot pegz allow a little movement when standing on pegs and when riding move just enough to provide some relief in the ankles. I have installed these on my last KLR650, Vstrom and a GS1200 adventure and couldn’t be happier with them.

If all you do is add a pipe the benefits will be minimal at best and without any changes to air intake and fueling might create adverse conditions. A better flowing exhaust combined with at the least a better flowing air filter such as the UNI and proper carburetor jetting will make a difference you can feel not just hear.

I bought a 2018 KLR, and it had DG exhaust. It's way too loud, I dont understand why so many people WANT the sound of a 2 stroke weedeater right next to their head. That's exactly what it sounds like. I would have kept it stock if I had the choice when I bought it. According to the specs online, it also weighs about 7 and a half pounds, so it's "better" I suppose, but I just cant stand the noise on long rides when I just wanna listen to music. Do you know what kind of aftermarket exhaust weighs less than the stock one, but doesnt make it louder?

You didn’t have any trouble with the OD or offset for it to fit? I’ll try eBay. Camel sent me a list of pipes but they evidently are still searching for one for the EU compliance.

So does the mid pipe when everything's fully assembled not slide as far up on what I'm gonna call the header as the original exhaust did? I threw a Lexx pipe on today and it seems as though the stock exhaust went maybe 3 inches up further

I've found that the muffler is a great addition. But in time the spark arrestor weld breaks and causes inner tail pipe to rattle. Jb weld doesn't help but it still sounds a little louder . BUT, what you really need to know is while you've got it apart. CHANGE THE STUPID EURO 5 HEAD PIPE. Factory claims they reduced it for mid range torque... uhhh, hell no. Its a smother. So. Get a used 2018 (carb style) off ebay. Drill 02 sensor hole. Weld a matching metric threaded nut at that location. (You will need to loosen the upper fairing nut way up in there) but the pipe will wiggle in. Use a new copper ring gasket. Then clamp on the Lexx pipe. Torque and sound is massive. You won't believe how choked the stock pipe is. This is why critics say the bike is a dog. Its is NOT A SLOW BIKE NOW. The 650 engine is a 100mm X82 mm short stroke,twin cam, 4 valve, design. Not a pig. Add a 16 T sprocket and your leaving 100 foot roosters. It sounds like a BSA Victor and pulls hard to the end of the torque curve. I bet 10 hp increase on my pro butt dyno. A MUST DO, ON THIS BIKE. Thx Bert.

I put a stock z900 pipe on my z900 RS. I found out why the z900 RS has 10 less horsepower. I put the chrome pipes away for later restoration. Much improved throttle response too. Which is the only complaint on the RS. FREE H.P. using ebay stock parts. My 50 th anniversary Z Is still technically stock and not butchered up. I may opt for the RS SE Ohlins rear shock as well. For a much smoother ride.

I went to order a lexx pipe for a 2023 gen 3 by ordering a pipe for a gen 2 and the seller called and said it would not fit. I looked up both part numbers for a 2018 muffler and 2023 and they are same part. So a gen 2 will fit?

Probably not a noticeable amount. Remember that it's only a 40 hp engine and even somthing major like a 750cc kit would give only 2 or 3 horse. The real benefit is in the weight reduction, remove the passenger foot pegs and use a lithium battery and you will save about 20 lbs

@SwankyCatProductions
@SwankyCatProductions 6 ай бұрын
Technically it's not designed for it. It was designed to fit the gen1 and gen2. So their system would indeed tell them that it won't fit a gen3. Which is the same reason the website will tell you or I that it won't fit too. Didn't stop me!

As far as I know the computer can compensate for the small change this makes. To get the most out of it performance wise though, you'll need an ECU flash.

So I will never buy another one of these again. The screws will back out. The instruction manual says to repack it every 10 hours. So if anything's fails on that pipe they'll just blame you for not repacking it. The middle of the pipes going to lose its colour after maybe 10 to 20 hours of use. I lost my first cap on the pipe. Stupid enough to buy another. I bought two instead of buying one Yoshimura and I should have my head examined for that. (The affair when the first it came off I thought that was cuz I switched out the tips. It wasn't till the second bike started doing it without me touching it from factory that I realize it's just a really shity made muffler)
