Finally someone on UA-cam has figured out how to record an exhaust sound. Nice job. I'm picking up an XE this week and cant wait to start messing around on it.
I just bought the 1200 XC version! I need this sound. The stock sound is good but not loud and deep like this. All you did was remove the cat? Need a tune?
Took a screenshot of your tach, lovely setup, with the simple basics: fuel gauge on left, I think temperature on right, and in the middle is rev counter and gear selector on a lovely black background. So very easy to see the rev counter, during the day 😀😃 Can you tell us how you configured it this way? Picking mine up in two days
The Scrambler 1200 has an "auto learn" feature that eliminates recalibrating the fueling/air intake systems. Just put the bike in neutral, start it up, and let it run for approx 15-20 minutes until the fan kicks on. The bike is constantly reading the air flow, fuel jetting, and temperature regulation. Purists hate on the ECU, but that's a really great perk. And WesternUSA, I will be picking one of these up from Free Spirits. TEC posted a DIY video on how to take the cat out and re-weld the joint -- while that would be cheaper than buying this H-pipe, I'd rather throw money at it rather than try my hand at welding.
@@ramblinscramblinadv9554 Sweet! I am really happy with the decat, really opens the sound up. Not really louder but deff more open sounding. And nope Brandon, no remap or tune needed.
Man, awesome video and awesome sound. One question: i am about to buy this bike in the exact same config you have, and i'm a bit worried about pipe's heat; does it solves with Decat system?
To be honest I never really had an issue with the stock exhaust heat, and I keep my legs fairly close to the pipes. The decat did reduce the heat a bit in that area. I can only speak for myself but I really don't have to adjust my natural seating position at all because of the way the exhaust is positioned.
To echo @WesternUSA, you should not worry about the heat from the exhaust. It's a triple insulated heat shield that does a great job. You will feel some warmth, but no way will it ever burn or even become uncomfortable.
@@ramblinscramblinadv9554 , actually..I have a very different experience. Having ridden a completely stock XE, I can say the heat was a tremendous issue - even to a point where I just kept my right knee turned way out to avoid burning the inner thigh. I'm getting the XE come June, but will opt for the Zard exhaust with the de-cat kit immediately ( internet research shows it reduces the heat roughly by 50% - will see). Otherwise love the bike!
@@westernusa5032 Yii - Haaaa !!! :-) cool ! it looks slower than it is - which means it's a great ride ! well cm'on man, take it to some rocky desert trails and show us the video !
@@westernusa5032 This video just played a very pivotal role in me picking up one yesterday. What a machine! P.S. the baffles removed give a real grumble.

Sweet! It's a never ending journey when the mods start lol
@@westernusa5032 Tell me about it - I have a schedule, month-on-month, on what I can afford to buy :)
Nice sunrise
Great job 👍. Thanks for that fine vid

mine is a 2023, Free spirits says their decat only goers to 2020
Hell yeah!!

Great exhaust sound
Where did you install the microphone?
Nice vid! Dude!
Any electrical problems with this bike? I want one but I have heard this can be an issue. Great sound and video.
Hi!
How did you de-cat it? Aftermarket headers or "gutted" stock canister?
No cat and stock Arrow slip on mufflers ?
Alice's Restaurant!!
Is this with or with the baffles in?
Did you have to remap or tune the bike for the decat? Where in CA was this, looks like arrowhead area.

Hi, I'm thinking about buying the 2019 1200, but I'm afraid of the heat from the exhaust, what's your opinion of the d cat kit?
Decat w stock mufflers?
Hi !!! is the speedometer in MPH or KPH ???? what a great bike
Howdy and thankya!. That speed is in MPH.

@@eyalcr500 hahah I know I really need to find some time to take to an off-road area. It will happen one day!
@@westernusa5032 good, just be careful with that monster ! greetings from Israel ! hope Triumph will come here soon too .
@@eyalcr500 thankyou much! Howdy from California, hope your day is great!
Really great video! baffles in or out?
The baffles are in here. Just arrow exhaust and de-cat. But I have been considering removing the baffles also.
@@westernusa5032 This video just played a very pivotal role in me picking up one yesterday. What a machine! P.S. the baffles removed give a real grumble.
@@Taco12356 hahaha awesome!! I hope you enjoy the heck out of it! .. I have a feeling the baffles need to come out yup lol.
@@westernusa5032 Btw.. LOVING the bike!
Just bought the XC version (im short) are there any removable baffles on the stock pipes?
