V-star exhaust mod how to

Yamaha V star easy exhaust modification for a louder sound. Cheap, fast, how to mod. No bs, just a quick fix in a short video.

[@pluspnv]

Also, to save ages of drill time use 1 1/4" white Bosch holesaw bit first then use 2" white Bosch holesaw bit after. Works a treat and sounds great no problems at all

[@audreymoore9785]

Was yours the vstar 1100 too? I want to make sure the size of the saw is right. I'm doing this today

[@kevinhines9440]

did this in 10 minutes ... huge improvement to the sound! I dont sound like im on a scooter any more hahaha I will be replacing the exhaust soon

[@jacob-power5702]

What exhaust system will you use?

[@pluspnv]

Just did this on my 2007, sounds great and no rejet at 495m altitude

[@jakobcabrera3602]

Plus P any backfiring?

[@EighthHouseTarot]

YOUR MOM HAD A REJET. ON PROSTITUTION AVENUE

[@robertoalvarez5281]

Did you have to re-jet the carbs after removing the baffles? Any backfiring after that? Thanks

[@mvpsales1632]

THANKS YOU SO MUCH! EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YOUR VIDEO HAS HELPED US! APPRECIATE IT!😎🏆

[@jordan_5.450]

How did yours come out so easy? I’ve been doing mine for an hour and still on the first one !

[@Balithazzarr]

Thank you for the demonstration

[@paulacabbo466]

i can't believe the weld broke so easy where that pipe goes into second baffle, i had to rock the heck out the pipe on mine to break the weld, they sound pretty good but in the end i put some roadburner street pros on, nothing i did to the oem mufflers can compare to sound of roadburners and i started like you with a final baffle removal then removed the next one in and finally a full gut

Awesome. I have a great love for the Vstar. Still miss my Silverado something horrible.

[@ujmrider]

Do AIS delete and move jet needles up one clip - should get rid of popping 👍

[@larespuertorico]

did you have to do anything with the carb afterward?

[@stevenmarrone1526]

What size bit did you use?

[@michaelpetersen5581]

What size hole saw did you use

[@frios011]

After this mod you will DEFINETLY have to rejet the carb. I know this because I did the same thing. It may run ok for a little while but it will start to run like crap until it eventually wont run worth a damn. The engine will run too lean if you don't rejet possibly causing engine failure.

[@geovannydiaz1900]

What size of jet you put on?

[@Jusjeepin]

I'm surprised I know of a few people who have done it with zero issues no rejet or anything

[@HighAway]

that mod doesnt seem to have to do with anything with the carb. I don't get that logic. no effect whatsoever

[@mattblyther5426]

@@HighAway more air in or out requires more fuel which means jetting or at the minimum adjust the fuel screws and or needle

[@HighAway]

@@mattblyther5426 Right, i do get that part but what does it help? boosting up a bit? giving more oomph??

[@bommy673]

You can get rid of that back firing by disconnecting the AIS system. And it will sound better again

[@bryancurtis24]

How do you do this? I want to do this to my 1100, but want to do it properly.

[@bommy673]

Take off all the oil lines from the unit but research it first as I've never had an 1100 . There is a video on KZbin to remove this unit I just can't remember what it's called but I'll look it up​@@bryancurtis24

[@skytaylor4209]

what size did you use on your drill to saw out?

[@shuaybqadri1086]

I think this is a 650. Bill Hentings video is 1100 and it sounds much more natural

[@flashesofblack4128]

Great video but I noticed a slight backfire which is usually indicative of a lean mixture of the carbs. Did you have to re-jet it? I agree about the muffled sound of the stock pipes. On my V-Star 650, the wind noise drowns out the engine exhaust to the point where I cant hear the engine which I find annoying.

[@braydenjohnson5880]

Same, it's kind of annoying. I want to get a viper kit for it but I dont have the money rn

[@jprogers91]

I think mine needs a jett adjustment but I will change the Air filter to pods then jet it . Now with drilled out it seems a lil lean. It seemed a lil lean stock anyway. But surly a big help as far as 0 to 60 .. . I may dig out more crap out of that muffler like the cat int there !

[@geoffreygimonneau5775]

This modification is for the 650 or 1100 V-Star?

is your bike 650cc?

[@dexxeve9420]

Any performance issues lost ? Like a carb retune or anything

[@dominicbedanhowto7026]

I haven't had any problems. It actually seems like a little more power but I haven't put it on a dino or anything

[@LordofCensorship]

@@dominicbedanhowto7026 You did it the correct way in the video, I've seen people take out the entire retaining wall for the baffle and they suffer performance loss. But making the smallest hole you can to get the baffle out is the best idea, because the left over cone at the end allows for some back pressure which helps the engine.

[@thatkiddalton]

Is that the stock exhaust

[@vicentemunoz2420]

Can I use a 1 1/2 instead of the 1 1/4?

[@JR-gp2sl]

Did you have to rejet?

[@dominicbedanhowto7026]

J R I didn't, it backfires a little bit but it doesn't really bother me. also when you have it on full choke and you revit up it'll shoot fireballs. check out my other video to see and hear what it sounds like. I'll be modding the hell out of this bike so like And subscribe if you want some good quick no BS pointers on how to make this bike badass

[@JR-gp2sl]

Thanks for the response. I just subscribed to you channel.

[@dominicbedanhowto7026]

J R nice ! use a bigger drill bit than I did in the this video. I went back after and used the biggest bit that would fit in my exaust. it made it sound better and look cooler.

[@HappyHandsGaming]

probably welded from the other side of the baffle. try prying it up and down if u havent already gotten it.

[@robertking4465]

Just been out trying this and can't get the inner weld to break. No where near as easy as it seems in the video and I'm a mechanic. Also takes a hell of a lot of drilling
