Cat Removal - Twin Delkevic Mufflers - Speed Triple Mods & Maintenance 3 

Well this kit is specifically for the 1050 speedy so It was gonna fit lol

Lmao, very well worded.

Right? I find that the 3/4 view of the single arm side is just ridiculously good looking. Having grown up in the dank side of town, theres no more comfortable place for me to ride!

Day to day you're probably right. Still gotta get the comparison for people who want to buy it. I swear there's not much content for these bikes out there...

@@Theillestrator1050 The comparison will be much appreciated I'm sure. You should make a series on mods for this model. You'll end up being good reference. Nice.

Thanks Jon

Happy to see youre still watching!

Lmao yeah, I gotta adjust them or something because they come on before redline!

I'm working on sourcing some minimally sized mufflers to fit onto the stock midpipes, mostly because no mufflers at all will attract negative attention visually ha. Red and blue lights

Sucks that we can't get a discount on them from comoto tho

Word, only exhaust comoto lists is Arrow and they're talking about a 6 week wait... and even then I bet before the 6 weeks are up, you'd just get a refund cause they cant get it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed!

I think so too. I like the wide exit look. Very ducati monster esque.

Thanks, having grown up in an industrial zone, it makes me oddly comfortable to be in desolate, cramped spots like this because there's less traffic to hit and less people to complain!

Thanks Ben!

I have a 2006 that's been in my study over the winter,...Done so much to it now and its so polished its gleaming !,..Roll on the summer !

Enjoy!

Glad you like it!

Lmao, good old UPT. Right. Maybe I'll have this bike long enough to replace that crush washer.

Lmao very true. Need a little extra noise round here.

@@Theillestrator1050 oh I’m not judging. I’ve ridden my bike and a friend’s Sportster with a Vance and Hines exhaust around LA. I’m not a “loud pipes save lives” kind of guy but in a busy city I know it makes a difference.

Thanks man

Thanks Ella; with this bike, you don't have much of a choice! 🤣 Noted. Honestly I am scared shitless of balance point, I won't go beyond the point of the weight dropping the bike back down automatically. 😬

@@Theillestrator1050 Honestly same. I spent a few months working on wheelies, and I started kissing balance point and, yea its scary as hell. Ive mostly dropped the wheelie stuff though, tried hanging out with some local stunters and those dudes take their shit hella seriously and I'm just, not about that. Still fun to clutch up my little cb from time to time. Main reason I tried to learn was so I could manage the occasional power wheelie without getting scared.

Right, I remember you saying that

Yo I can imagine how good the VFR sounds...that bike is in my top 5 for best sounding bikes easily. Glad we're both happy!

Thanks for watching

Same here, I have a system on my CB550 as well. Good stuff.

👌🏾

lol thanks Well I have a GoPro hero 10 black and I shoot in 4K superview. Its probably just the good quality

Thanks, yeah I read that that's something folks do. But I want to replace the hardware as it's rusty so I'd have to tamper with the seal again anyway. May as well just replace it outright

I definitely will for the comparison video

Nice. I typically don't even use torque values... Last time I did, I stripped it out on my sv1000

@@Theillestrator1050 If tightened properly, it doesn’t feel tight enough.

Agreed about the torque spec not feeling tight enough. But I torqued my oil plug after bottoming it over a curb. There was a slight seep that was taken care of by torquing it to spec. Whew. The impact was a glance off that bottom fore of the plug and the plug itself.

Yeah I was thinking the arrow high mount tune. I have a coworker with the software and cable to install it

@@Theillestrator1050 just buy it yourself it’s so cheap when comparing tuning. I think I’m less than 100$ cdn into the software and cable and can use it for other things like diagnostic codes and whatnot. Definitely worth the investment

Ahhh, you may be right. Though would it be a good move to tweak the natural angle like that?

Lmao, I guess that's technically gonna be the Sprint 1050

I had to look up the CX650 you referred to....and holy hell that thing sounds RIGHT.

@@Theillestrator1050 for a CX650, she sure sounds like a '65 racer..., plus 20+ mins of audible heaven in that vid...

Thanks Duke!

Lmao!

I'll have to do both because I gotta get the comparison video. But I reckon after I use both and give each a listen, I'll be able to decide which one I can stand more lmao

So it's funny because when my dad stayed outside to hear it, he swore it sounded the same as stock when at idle and given low revs. If anything, it sounds more rich, not terribly loud so I would say in comparison to stock, maybe a 5 averaged out across the rev range compared to stock. It's tasteful basically. Even more so if you keep your cat.

Indeed lol

Lmao, I can imagine on a thumper like that

Lmao thanks

🤘

O rings? Interesting.

I agree, it's pretty good! Still gotta get that comparison though lol.

Ha!

What do you have?

@@Theillestrator1050 oh, not me, it's all the loud pipes around me...🤣🤣🤣

When you say build up do you mean the oil or the dirt?

@@Theillestrator1050 yeah in see amgs blow up over a bad oil change it's only a few second to change it

Thanks Joseph

Lmao oh right its right there behind the headers sideways right? I know from 2J's bike. apparently you can skip that step if you have to...

Yes, I got a coworker with a cable and software. He has a speed four

@@Theillestrator1050 that's good just wait till you get to play with that it's a game changer btw you can use a cable or Bluetooth and any android device tablet is better if you wanna mess with afr or whatever but most of the custom tunes are pretty good

Yeah I figured as much lol. I feel like maybe it's a liability thing.

@@Theillestrator1050 engineers like nah you can keep using it then the lawyer got involved was like no no no no have them change it out every time🤣

@@Theillestrator1050 by the way I really like that gurgle on the dicel. There's a lot of guys who want that pop and crackle. But for me when I hear that gurgle it sounds like a beast just waiting to pounce

It felt more like the 11 year old cracked tire letting go in the moment. Never had the clutch slip in the torquey lower gears, in fact the wheel comes up through first and second. So the clutch wouldn't slip at high gear right?

@@Theillestrator1050 I’d test it on the Highway to be sure. Could be the tyres like you said.

That's fair regarding the washer. Regarding the cat, that's easy. More exhaust flow, it's the reason why when you get a race exhaust there is no cat to be seen. The arrow catless mid pipe would be the best option but it's unavailable. Deleting it to help the bike breathe is the next best option. Fortunately these triumphs are easy to remap with tuneboy or tuneecu for any modifications that you do. There are pre made maps selectable to match the specific bike. I have to disagree about being unable to dial the bike back in. The results are out there and proven.

@@Theillestrator1050 I think our definitions of "proven" are very different. Fluid flows are extremely complex, less restriction in the exhaust is not always a good thing without holding other things constant. For example, by deleting the cat you have removed a reflecting surface that causes pressure waves to bounce back upstream, this has consequences for gas exchange especially during valve overlap. While at certain RPM and load conditions this might give you better performance (more max HP), the low end torque/part throttle operation are probably severely compromised. Also without an engine dyno and instrumentation to verify, you have no idea about in cylinder temperatures/pressures/knock... not ideal for reliability/longevity. There really is no replacement for a factory exhaust or a factory developed race exhaust/map package. Most aftermarket exhausts and tunes are half baked at best and dangerous at worst.

Does that make it all the way through to the otherside of the cat?

@@Theillestrator1050 little by little. It’s the circular one with the bit in the middle

Yeah I know the one, so you just use that and nothing else?

@@Theillestrator1050 that and a big ass drill. Because it takes hella torque to cut through it

Lmao, within reason yeah I definitely agree

Which part exactly?
