Yamaha XV535 Virago Exhaust Debaffle

[@GabrielFernandes-bc7se]

Just came here to thank you! I was able to do everything in just 3 hours with: portable grinder to remove the welding on the caps, a driller for the weld on the baffles and WD-40 + screwdriver + hammer + pliers to remove the baffles. It was an easy and smooth process!

[@emilhansson5488]

Great video with detailed instructions :) I would just put rivet nuts into the baffles themselves and then put them back on with screws before the inspection :)

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Great idea!

[@KalleMuona115]

I had to warm the baffles with a blowtorch before getting them loose. Great video.

[@duskshadowpaws4434]

bloody hell I thought that with old bikes like this the exhaust system went straight through to the baffel, i didn't realise there was this massive exhaust box lol

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

yeah crazy right! I think this was the precursor to what we see on most modern bikes now - headers into a collector box, then out to a silencer.

[@crabbyboy3610]

Thank you, it is not many good debaffle videoes for the Virago 535. Very good video, I hope for more:)

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Thanks man, I appreciate that! What video would you like to see next?

[@crabbyboy3610]

@@JadusMotorcycleParts A video about mounting forward controls would be perfect

[@jamesr.waltonjr.457]

Very nice video. Quality debaffle work.

[@rameshsahiram3556]

Perfect ! Very nice work guys ! Thx !

[@simoneruffini86]

work done today. thanks to your instructions. it was hard to remove them but in the end the sound is spectacular. Is it necessary to regulate the carburetion?

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Hi! Great you managed to remove them. You will most likely not need to adjust your main jets but you should definitely adjust your air/fuel screw setting to allow more fuel at low rpms. It should be adjusted to between 3-4 turns out.

[@heavilyarmedgoy]

Would like very much to see an update video on the o2 sensor/jetting and a ride away so we can hear it in action : )

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

I'll try find some time to do a bit of a comparison video :)

[@heavilyarmedgoy]

THANKS!!!

[@KAPANGAAAMASTER]

This bike is carbureted no O2 sensor, yes it may need jetting!

[@nanalcd5628]

Nice video, nice job, nice sound. Thank you from USA.

[@Shaneg-tu7gt]

Sounds v nice

[@fng226]

Great video! Did you need to change the main jets? What was the right size jets in such case?

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Thanks! Yepp, main jets and air/fuel screw was adjusted. We have our intake kit installed on this bike so the jetting is different if you still have the stock intake set up.

[@TheXeago]

How much louder is it than stock exhaust now? Does it get obnoxious on longer rides? Love the xv535 content btw, going to buy one soon :D

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Thanks! Yes, you should get one, they are great bikes. We think the debaffled sound ends up being just about right. It has a really nice, deep v-twin sound, without hurting your eardrums like the straight pipes do!

[@m.esslinger4669]

Why not cutting the Baffles in a Half or more and then move it back in, so maybe you have to do this once in a time? Would it not sounds louder anyway?

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Good idea! You could absolutely do that! Not sure how good the sound would be but would definitely be better than stock :)

[@Shaneg-tu7gt]

Nice

[@HenryKhiev]

Great video! Need to do this to mine.

[@Khemore]

How did u adjust the carps for no baffle mode? I really like the sound after u removed the baffles, and i wan't to do the same on mine, but i'm afraid to do it without jetting

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

We have an install video for our intake kit and there you can see how to adjust the carbs 👍

[@Mr_DocQ]

Hey! very informative video that gives hope for tomorrow. such a question, I have an XV400, for my engine I understand correctly that it will play the same way, having a stock intake

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Yes, by looking at the XV400, this kit would work for that bike as well.

[@Mr_DocQ]

@@JadusMotorcycleParts Okay, can you also tell me what jets you used for idling? or these settings do not affect the removal of the inner part of the muffler? Thank you

Hey man! I was just wondering, what is the consumption after removing those baffles

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

No sure man, we have not done any testing on that as it has never been a problem/consideration for us. Some of our customers would know though so you could try the same question on the Virago facebook groups :)

[@belmondoe9643]

Is it safe or suitable to debuffle this exhaust while having stock intake and air filter system? I saw your video about some nice mod of yours but and here is my question

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Hi! Yepp, it is fine to do this mod with the stock intake system. Just make sure you screw out your air/fuel screw 1/2 to 1 full turn and probably best to go up a couple of sizes on the main jet.

[@Mr_DocQ]

Hello. Have you started doing exhaust system upgrades like in the video? what parts did you change after that?

[@pekkaahlgren1928]

Is it possible to use debaffeled exhaust without replacing the jet?

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Yes it is possible but we would not recommend it. Your exhaust system will flow better allowing more flow into the cylinder (more air) and this increased flow should be matched with more fuel, otherwise you will have a lean/leaner condition.

[@романэлектролитов]

👍👍👍🔥

[@محمدشاكر-ق7ف]

Oz Electronic Yamaha Virago 400SH535Slim used

[@brucelee3835]

I grab my 25 cal pistal and shot 8 holes on the baffle plate without removing the exhaust. sound just as loud. Only took 45 sec.

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Haha amazing. Well you must be American because there sure is hell ain't another place on earth someone would do that.

[@mitchellkennedy3556]

Can get st8s for $200. Still nice

[@chrwille1]

You dont need to deill !!!!!!!!

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

?

[@fuelheadjay8800]

Good day chap will your kit work if filter was in open air and not covered by tank has looking at having split tank on my xv535 and think it look sweat on show please check my vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp6Qfp96qNx_p6s This is it at mo and will be getting redone and be a survival rat hopfuly when done.

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

Hey man! Yes it would definitely work in that scenario. Although it would be best to cover it with something - only in case of rain. All other debris is no problem but moisture into the intake would not be good. Cheers.

[@richardrichard5409]

Sounds like a wet fart 🤣

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

You really think so? Try listening to a 180 degree crank parallel twin!

[@DmitryStein]

this is not stock exhaust

[@JadusMotorcycleParts]

It isn’t? It has the Yamaha stock exhaust part number stamped on the side of it!

[@davidjames1007]

Yes it is stock, it's exactly the same as mine

[@AA-69]

What he'll be meaning is that he'll have a "different" stock on his... Mines has longer pipes, but when i debafffle it, I'll cut it back to the shorter size and avoid plugging holes etc...
