FJR1300 Exhaust Comparison Stock vs Yoshimura R77 Baffles In And Out Plus No Exhaust

[@TristanDesnos]

I sold my ‘05 FJR for a ‘13 VFR1200F and here I am, with a beer watching videos about my ex 😩 Never, sell, your FJR (unless it’s to be replaced with another FJR) Great video as always Bryan

[@brybish]

Tris Desnos I have had 5 fjrs and currently have the model with the posh suspension best of the bunch led h lights awesome, handles best of all the sickening crunch getting into first has gone. The 6 speed has mellowed the beast rejoin the fold m8 come home.

[@alext337]

I toiled on a decision to upgrade my 05 and what to get for 3 weeks before I upgraded to a 2013 FJR, what a difference and I am glad that I stayed with the beast. The 13's are so much improved over the 1st gen, hopefully you get a chance to come back to the light on an FJR

[@TristanDesnos]

Mao Zedong I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this! Best wishes

[@MARKINAU8]

There's no way you trade FJR with a VFR. The other one just not a proper touring machine.

[@Fpineros22]

me too. lmao

[@scotw67]

@5:50, pure gold. That FJR sounds like a beast w/o the pipes!

[@thatcheridaho]

I like the stock, quiet sound. ...scoot around a town in stealth mode.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Sounds amazing with the baffles out, very deep.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

At $1,129 each for these slip-ons on Revzilla, I think the stock pipes sound just fine. Plus, I don't want any more noise if I'm running down the highway on a long trip. Good comparison, though. Thanks!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Both, not each. And there are better prices than revzilla for parts.

[@QuentinsMotoVlog]

@@TwoWheelObsession whoops! You are right. That price is for a pair. Would you change yours to Yoshi’s?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

I like the stock sound on the fjr. It’s a 4-1-2 system. Slip ons really don’t do much for it IMO

[@jefftate01]

I went through the loud is better stage years ago with my 82 GS1100 E with Vance and Hines header and stage 3 jet kit. Very finicky jetting as the weather changed. Anyway I got older and decided to just keep my fjr stock sounding. Only person that needs impressing is me. Besides, aftermarket mufflers cost an arm and a leg for no noticeable gain.

[@magnum9870]

I love this motorcycle for its delicate sound, which aftermarket maflers do not give.

[@wieds98]

Stock sound the only way to go on an FJR.. Sounds awesome on my 2003 just the way it's supposed to..And people really never hear you coming, before you blow by them. 😉

[@freedomisntfree131]

Awesome sound from the Yoshi pipe. But, I don't want to give law enforcement another reason to notice my bike. I certainly love my FJR and I really appreciate your channel. Thanks.

[@Morgoth2503]

I loved the baffled sound but do you need an ECU reprogramming after putting the slip-ons?

[@ryankadish8351]

That's what I want to know.

[@travelinben1966]

I like it stock, plus the stainless pipes look way better to me.

[@newera478]

Maybe I'm too used to the stock exhaust sound on FJR but I really prefer it. Like many others have said, its sound fits much better on a sport tourer bike.

[@Stripping_Bolts]

Sport touring bikes don't have to be virgin-mo-biles, people are allow to make them cool

[@highsnburgers4862]

Love the sound of some loud pipes but none are worth the money over stock. When you're keeping that stout 1300cc engine pinned and still need more, get a full system. Most never use what they already have because the bike really pulls hard from about 100-130mph. The FJR1300 is sport tourer and loud pipes can get old on a deserted highway in the middle of nowhere. I prefer whizzing by like the wind vs causing every sleepy cop to look my way.

[@davidleroth8644]

Agreed. I want as little attention on me as possible when I'm doing 110 down a lonely interstate

[@NZsarge1]

I liked the Yoshi's both baffle in and out with a preference for out. My Concours 14 had a carbon Two Brothers slip on and it sounds so sweet and I didn't find it droned or was annoying at speed, quite the opposite actually

[@Stars-and-Stripes-]

I agree, It is definitely not very loud without the baffles, probably helps it be a little Quieter having 2 exhaust mufflers on an inline 4 than a 4into 1 exhaust would be..

[@muleoutpost8156]

(suggested edit:). At the end of the video, you should cycle short clips (with labels overlayed) of each exhaust configuration so we get a side by side comparison of the audio without the talking or time in-between.

[@spetersonmusic]

Baffles out - sounded bad ass. What did you prefer in person? What did the owner end up doing?

[@bryanroberts]

I guess it's one of those have to be there things but I really enjoyed the stock sound!!

[@louisbartay5170]

The Yoush needs Ivans re flash cure pop on de acell.

[@klwhitacre]

Thanks for sharing sir. How did the FJR run with the Yoshi pipes, both with and without baffles? Being injected, I just wonder if the computer was able to compensate for the mixture change you would expect "un-corking" the exhaust a little. It sure sounds great with the Yoshis.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+klwhitacre slipons only change the sound.

[@klwhitacre]

Roger that. I put Jardines on my 95 V-Max a few years ago. It was carbureted (of course), and needed to be re-jetted after the install. Do you know if he saw any noticeable performance/mileage changes after the install? Thanks again sir.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+klwhitacre no changes other than the tone.

[@Balithazzarr]

Goog point with no backpressure that might change things

[@Stars-and-Stripes-]

@@TwoWheelObsession old comment, but not really true as the uncorked mufflers will help the engine breath a little better. I actually lost just a bit of topend power on my old cbr F2 by switching to a loud slip on without re jetting the carbs.. It honestly felt like it was down about 8-10hp up top, But it was carbed and perhaps the injected ECU of an FJR can compensate some.

[@Nexus-6]

NIce! Are the fly-bys, at the end, with the Yoshi baffles in or out? Sounds great! 🥰

[@CoCo-Philly]

Thanks. It's hard to find fjr videos with watching. Love that red also.

[@GW-og4us]

Say I'm getting a 2014 this weekend. Does the bags still fit on. The vid looks like the new exhaust sits higher.. Love the sound with and with out baffles. I like to be seen and heard.👍

[@GW-og4us]

Do you remember the part number that fits the 2014 fjr. I'm getting my fjr Friday. Thanks

[@scottyboybc]

i had yosh exhaust on my previous bike, gsxr 600. the weight savings was remarkable with one can. x2 for the fjr and that might make a difference to the jump and feel of the bike.

[@freedomisntfree131]

I'm not trying to argue for the sake of arguing. But, my stock FJR doesn't need more jump and feel. Those bikes are incredible. So much response, acceleration and power. If you've never ridden one, I highly suggest it. 140 hp is incredible on that bike. It won't corner like your GSXR. But, I'll put it against any sportbike in acceleration. The 1/4 of a second that a 1000 cc sportbike could beat it is arguable depending on the individual rider.

[@ghinman6538]

Can baffle be removed from the stock exhausts?

[@kharma6216]

Wow, had no idea the screw was welded on.. ended up stripping the screw and now I can’t get it off.

[@stephenj.p.ingley4033]

Sweet...Ditch the Baffles...Awesome...

[@V4zz33]

Awesome effort, thanks!

[@Bruce-c3g]

I had a ‘12 Concours 14 with a Delcovic slip on. I tried with and w/o the baffle, and it made no difference to my ear. I love the sound of the FJR with these Yoshi slip ones!

[@reddog907]

No baffles, sound is amazing.

[@pwsm11]

Do you have a video removing the baffles on a regular FJR 1300?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

No, hardly anyone does that, it sounds like crap.

[@brybish]

Peter W. Santa-Maria Sr. Don't do it. If by some miracle it added 25 bhp yes but to just piss off the neighbours forget it.

[@highsnburgers4862]

There is a video out there. I bet it's sounds just right. If you don't like it you're out $20 and then you pick up some slip-ons.

[@scotw67]

Sounds awesome with no exhaust!!

[@Echo4Yankee]

I really like that FJR. Do you actually do high mileage touring with it? How is it? I know it's a Sport Touring bike but that doesn't mean anything.

[@markwhite232]

Thankyou

[@erictheredd3]

It sound good enough for you to get a pair Bryan?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

+Eric Moore I like my FJR quiet :)

[@daisy8luke]

I agree, If I want to ride something loud, I get out my H-D FXDX with the Bassanni Road Rage 2 in to 1. It'll wake up the dang neighborhood !

Literally can't hear the exhaust because the mic is clipping.

[@Quagmire88]

You're looking good, brother! Its been a while since I watched your videos. I think the last videos I saw were the end of your blue ridge ride.

[@brybish]

The problem I have with after market "louder" pipes is yes they sound nice for a bit then just annoying if they added power I would have a different view but they do not. The only street bike that worked with aftermarket pipes was the original 1200 bandit. That my tuppence worth.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Slipons may not add power but full systems do. I gained over 10 hp on the dyno on my fz09 and they are pure pleasure sound.

[@brybish]

I also have a fjr13 this one is my 5th with electronic suspension and the most awesome lights ever I find the leaning lights seem to work well.

[@jcarlos88]

Did Tom needed a remap or are the Yoshi’s and FJR ok without the remap?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Slipons never need anything.

[@andreasmerkel5717]

In Germany you risk a punishment to extract the baffles, but thats not the worst. The official operating license expires and if you still drive and have an accident, the insurance company can say: No money, because it was done intentionally. That's not worth the sound, especially since it's noticeable at every police check,

[@HenrikGahmberg]

I prefer the stock "sewing-machine" sound :-) Gonna stick with them on my 2017

[@Daniel_pc70]

Deffenatlly baffles out! Thanks.

[@morpheus324]

Hey you’re the cigar guy 🤣

[@MrGeorge0285]

@TomFJR, please tell me you went without the baffles. The bike sounds awesome!! Also, Bryan, why is it bad to run the motorcycle without the exhaust pipes, you said it'll screw the motor, but can you please elaborate.

[@timallix4407]

I skipped through the part showing how to change the baffles, and went straight to the end to fulfill the promise of the title of this video. This needs to be two videos, one doing the sound comparison, and one doing the baffle how-to. Us KZbin addicts have a notoriously short attention span, and we want to find what we are looking for by watching a 3 minute video. Sad but true. You'll get more hits if you get straight to the point!

[@timallix4407]

BTW I am a recent owner of a 2003 FJR1300. Amazing bike!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

My vids are for the info, not hits from squirrel lovers lol

[@stevemack389sm]

the Yoshimura exhaust system is the best to get 4 performance and sound!!! especially the bike's that r over 500cc motorcycles!!!

[@heliopires1516]

No all of us like or seek a louder sound in that bike but a different sound than that of the stock with her common whistle wich for me is really annoying. A fuller and gutural deep sound is what we get with that exhaust thay I like very very much.

[@brucewayne-ej3cx]

I'm prolly gonna ditch my 14 r6 for one of these

[@cavi3961]

👍

[@georgeboyd2774]

If only Yamaha would eqip this bike, with a cross-plane crank.

[@TommyTwowheels]

I have an R1 as well as my FJR and you are spot on! A crossplane crank on that beast of an engine would sound amazing and the low end torque would be out of this world (it's already pretty good).

[@lorenhusky2717]

No thanks. Some people (like me) HATE the cross plane crank sound. Can't stand it. They ruined the sound of the R1. Don't spread it to other bikes.

[@captaingoldbeered803]

@@lorenhusky2717 I agree completely, flat plane r1's sound like a f1 car, inline 4 cylinders are supposed to scream, not growl lol

Love your videos but gotta say on previous viewing you did say changing the pipes don't make much difference sound wise as in line 4rs don't really allow it..kinda disproving yourself here....

[@danielf4136]

Its a touring bike... why do you want it to be louder???? In my opinion your all jjst confused on what you want

[@joedangelo5640]

I don't mean to sound like a dick. But, I have to ask... what is the point of putting new exhaust on a sport bike? I get the loud rumble desire if you have a big V-Twin. But on a sport bike? It kind of reminds me of the exhaust people put on Civics and want to be cool like the guy down the street who has a Camaro SS. I don't get it.

[@AkumuX]

Any or all of these... Deeper sound, raspier sound, not having to hear the transmission (FJR has a good bit of whirring, as do some other bikes), shaving weight, better looks, better location, better construction and in my opinion not so much for inline 3/inline 4, but for V-twin sport bikes and V-four sport bikes it really 'wakes it up' in a MUCH more different way than putting a Folger's coffee can on a Civic.

[@JFizoust]

Don't think of it as aftermarket on exhaust on a civic, but rather performance exhaust on a performance machine like a Porsche. Putting aftermarket on a VTwin is strictly for show as they aren't performance machines. But Yoshi can increase HP, which translates to better track time for some.

[@pfineyut]

Loud bikes are safer bikes, speaking from experience no cagers hear stock pipes

[@JFizoust]

Just imagine if you learned to ride it lol. You want to be safer then wear neon or reflective clothing. I saw nothing in the HURT report about loud pipes, but would be happy to read any statistics you have supporting the claim.

[@joedangelo5640]

So, you are saying that this is a performance tuning thing, more than an audio cosmetic thing (though, after market pipes do increase HP on a V-Twin). Gotcha.
