Making videos take a minute to learn and a lifetime to master. You have great content which is the most important criteria. Well done (from a f650gs owner) 😊
Imo the „double“ exhaust just looks better. I mean single exhaust will save you some weight and ad a little extra HP, but i would never switch to single. For the extra bit of sound you could swap the air filter to a KN it makes the engine sound a bit more aggressiv, thats what i did. but anyways the g 650 gs is a perfect adventure bike, love it and keep it!
If I'm honest it was a little too loud. I always wear ear plugs anyway so that made it ok, for long rides. All of my travels round NZ & OZ was with this setup. The engine guard was the BMW one and that upper one was Touratech.
Hello! Thank you for the video! 🆒👍🏻 The new Remus exhaust looks great and sounds more aggressive. Much better than the original BMW exhaust. I have a G650X, where did you buy you Remus exhaust?
I brought my exhaust from Techmoto, a motorcycle accessories store in Auckland New Zealand. But i’m sure if you look at the Remus website you can find your local importer / dealer
Not really however I did have a little dongle thing that plugged in the the air box air temp sensor and that tricked the bike so it ran a little richer which did improve things alot down low. The exhaust was good for noise and weight I don’t really remember if there was a noticeable performance change
I was able to connect with then through Instagram via the website. Strange there’s no “Contact Us” link on their website, but their response was it’s no longer available. Thanks for your help. Cheers!
Great video. Bought a 650 Dakar with loads of gucci extras and she's a 'keeper'. Tried a Dominator single can on her. Well made but raw raspy sound, not the same depth that previous Remus can had on a 1100GS. Know that's more cubes, but took Dominator back off. Still vexed that original cat / single exhaust out set up doesn't set off what is a robust, useable single cylinder engine. Your single Remus can sounded great. Might be the way to go. Thanks for your very informative video.
The importer used to be and maybe still is Eurobike. Contact Techmoto in Auckland they might be able to sell you one and ship it directly from Eurobike. If it's still available and in the country could be a long wait if not.
I brought mine from Techmoto in Auckland, New Zealand. The Remus importer in NZ has an RRP of $1199.00 NZD. At the time I was working within the industry so was lucky to get a bit of a discount and I can't tell you the price I paid. Sorry
@@evelcustom9864 This bike, for what it is (650 single cylinder), is pretty impressive. I did a 2 up trip about 200 km without a passenger, picked up a girl, rode about 200 km with her onthe back seat on the way back, it still had plenty of power for highway speeds. We just held it around 120 km/hr all day long, no problems. On the odd times I did need to accelerate to 140 km/hr to pass some erratic driver for safety, it was okay. Riding two up you can definitely go full throttle in 5th gear and run out of power on the highway if trying to pass/avoid bad drivers, so while it's not really made for two up riding, it does OK. The biggest problem that we had was the seat. The G650GS seat is narrower and less thick than the seat was on the old F650GS single. They do this to help you get your feet on the ground more if you're short, but for us it was just very uncomfortable after the first 100 km. We found a used seat from the F650GS 650cc for $70 being sold locally, bought that, it's thicker and wider, and much more comfortable for two up riding. I have a video coming out on my channel this week about the three best mods to the G650GS, and, spoiler: upgrading the seat is #2 on the list. Subscribe my channel if you wanna see that when it comes out. Only other thing I would mention about two up riding is we may get foot peg extenders for the passenger because I have big 41 liter hard cases, and they make her feet stick out a bit more, so she could use some more support under her feet. They make little adapters for $20 that bring the pegs out further so that's easily fixed. I've never taken it two up on trails, so I can't help with that, sorry, but I hope everything else in this msg was helpful. See ya later! :)
I can't tell you the exact weight as I don't know. But it is a lot lighter, for one you loose the catholic converter and then the Remus can is lighter than the stock one
Thanks, Charlie. I finally saw a very short video where someone showed the actual point of attachment on the machine and turns out I had all the necessary parts to make it work. Looks and sounds awesome! Appreciate all your support. Cheers!
L. Alejandro Cascante I don’t know where you could buy a remus exhaust in costa rica. You’ll have to research online. I brought mine while i was in New Zealand.
I think it might adds a little, will say on the remus website. I believe it was like 5HP but don’t quote me on that. I brought it for weight saves, free up the cat side for a tool tube and more noise

Thanks dude, seems to also take a life time to edit but I do enjoy the final product and i’m glad others do to.
Sounds good man. WOuld have loved to know what the weight savings is between the weight savings is between the Remus and the stock pipes removed.
Seconded

I used the free space for a tool tube.
I crashed the bike and got a KTM 790 4 years ago
I'd love to get a better sounding one, but I do kinda like the dual exhaust optic, even if it's just a can
🍻🎂
Thanks for the video mate. How loud is it for long journeys? Does it get a bit much?
What is that engine/tank guard on you bike?
If I'm honest it was a little too loud. I always wear ear plugs anyway so that made it ok, for long rides. All of my travels round NZ & OZ was with this setup.
The engine guard was the BMW one and that upper one was Touratech.
@@Adv_Charlie thanks heaps mate. I just picked one up. Can’t wait to take it out 👍🏻
Is 50bhp ok fully loaded with a pillion on the gs650 thinking of buying one but worried it could be under powered I ride a cb1000r neon cafe ?
You will 100% notice a power difference it’s a great bike for pottering alone not for speed. But it will manage pillion and luggage.
Hello! Thank you for the video! 🆒👍🏻
The new Remus exhaust looks great and sounds more aggressive. Much better than the original BMW exhaust.

Nice KTM :) I have a BMW G650GS too. Do you notice any performance change with the new pipe?
Not really however I did have a little dongle thing that plugged in the the air box air temp sensor and that tricked the bike so it ran a little richer which did improve things alot down low.

What tyres are you using like the back one
They are karoo 3’s I don’t recommend them. I swapped to the Mitas E09 Dakar that is a much better tyre
Can you please share where you purchased your Remus? I can’t seem to find any resources here in the US. Thanks!
I got mine when I was in NZ. Have you been on the remus website remus.eu and looks for an local importer?
Thanks for reaponding. I’ll give it a shot. At first glance it seems to mirror the US site which is terrible.

The stock definantly sounds better.
It was a bit loud at times.

What bike does you mate have
That one is a BMW G650GS however I now have a KTM 790 Adventure.
How do I get a Remus for my 650gs I'm in Nelson NZ. Thanks

Good job on the video, How much did you pay for the exhaust?

Suena re choto
Have you done any suspension work on it? Have you done any 2 up riding on it?
No I didn’t do any suspension work and I didn’t really do any two up riding
@@Adv_Charlie thanks for the reply 😊
I do a lot of two up riding on this bike if you have any questions
@@YouMotorcycle thank for the reply. What has your experience been riding with a passenger on different terrains (highway speeds, on trails, etc)?

Hello Charlie, was wondering what if any the difference in weight was between the two exhausts...is the Remus lighter by much?
I can't tell you the exact weight as I don't know. But it is a lot lighter, for one you loose the catholic converter and then the Remus can is lighter than the stock one
@@Adv_Charlie cool, thinking of doing the same. From the vid it looks a fair bit lighter
It is 100% a lot light. Just not sure by how much. It's also loud.
1 more question: There must be a 90-degree connector from the included clamp to the bike that I’m not seeing in my kit?
Sorry for the late reply. I don't remember all the parts in the kit all these years later. Have you contacted Remus or the shop you brought it from?
Thanks, Charlie. I finally saw a very short video where someone showed the actual point of attachment on the machine and turns out I had all the necessary parts to make it work. Looks and sounds awesome! Appreciate all your support. Cheers!
Did you have to remap the control unit?
Hi, No I didn't. Remus have their own Dyno and test the exhaust on the bikes to make sure they work with the stock ECU and mapping.
Did you have to remap the control unit
Hi, no I didn’t Remus has a Dyno so they make sure it works with the stock ECU settings
I LIKE THE SOUND OF YOU NEW MUFFLE, WHERE CAN I FEEL THE SAME? I live in Central América, Costa Rica
L. Alejandro Cascante I don’t know where you could buy a remus exhaust in costa rica. You’ll have to research online. I brought mine while i was in New Zealand.
What that cost you nz?
I can’t remember now this was like 5-6 years ago. You’d have to check online for current prices
Does this exhaust add power?
I think it might adds a little, will say on the remus website. I believe it was like 5HP but don’t quote me on that. I brought it for weight saves, free up the cat side for a tool tube and more noise
Sounds great. I've changed my exhaust on the F650GS (2000 model) to a Scorpion. What tyres do you use?
Normally i use Mitas E09 on the rear and a Continental TKC80 on the front. If im doing more road miles but sill might go off road i use a E07 rear
Cual es el modelo??
Remus Roxx
Cual es la marca del escape ?
The brand is Remus and the model is Roxx
