Thank u 🙏. After this video I figured I’d try it and if it didn’t work I’d buy the new kit I wanted for almost $1000.00 but I was more than satisfied with the results and now I have a little extra Christmas 💰
So you just pop out the plug and leave it in there? I'm a little bit confused. Do you take that muffler off to pull the plug through the part where clamps on to the rest of the exhaust?
If u use a big enough pipe it’ll punch knock loose the spot welds of the plate and push the pipe through another 4 inches a few times and no muffler removal literally just like I showed u will feel it and see it if u have a flashlight once it’s done
@@MainelyFishing1 but what I'm saying is, you're punching something through towards the front of the bike. And you're punching through you just leave in there? Or are you just punching a hole through a thin piece of metal? In the video it made it sound like you were pushing a plug out of a hole
@@vinniemadrox It looks like in this video the metal bar he uses punches a hole through the baffle - i.e. doesn't knock it out - but I can't be sure. Worst case you could always take off the muffler and shake out a loose piece of metal - I was looking to drill mine out but the metal hole saw + extension starts to get expensive for a one-time use thing.
The only problem is that it's an one-way mod meaning that you cannot revert it. I owned a Virago 535 which suffers the very same issue (the only way of removing the mufflers is by BREAKING it with a chisel). I am getting a VStar 950 and was in the hope that it had a removable muffler just like 99% of motorcycles. I really don't know what's wrong with Yamaha.
I had a v star 650 that someone removed the baffles on and after I owned it for A few months it started to act under powered and sputter and sound weird after about a month but with the 950 is fuel injected there was no change in the bike at all if you completely remove the baffles it might but as for my experience it didn’t change anything engine wise
It takes a few solid whacks with pipe or bar and a 🔨 shine a light down to check as I did press the bar firmly against it before hitting so it absorbs more force i found that a 2lb sledge hammer works best
