I've always wondered why this is everyone's first mod to their bike ...personally, I like the look of the stock pipe. Good looking bike ...I'm in the market for one!
That is a easy one to answer,The OEM pipe hits the back of my right leg.And I was concerned that my boot may get stuck under it when off-road. Ride on,Cheers;)
What has kept me away from installing an aftermarket exhaust to mine is that most of them make it sound like a single cyl revved up, this one is the best one I've heard through a UA-cam video, but i think i would need to try one first before making a full switch. The bike at stock sounds good after 6000 rpm, not sure if these exhausts would improve on that.
The only thing i don't like about this bike is it's sound. This sounds like a good plan. It'd be wonderful to hear it from the riding position. Could you maybe make a very little video and record from your sitting position?
I just received my generic exhaust can (same one you have) where did you get the connector piece ? I only have the adapter that you show on your first install. Looking for the connector pipe you have in the later part of the video..thanks
It was all in the kit from the Ebay seller. That is the connector I cut to fit. Will you send a photo to my email here on Ebay so I can see what you got? Ride on,Cheers;)
You say in the beginning of the video that you will leave details about the new pipe in the description... I'm interested in doing the same as you, care to share more about the pipe and how I can find it? Thanks
Hi Michael,I got the muffler on Ebay from "Professional_motors" for $65.00 shipped. I did cut the stainless steel connector part to fit the hanger mount. You'll need to see how it will fit up to your VX3 when you get it. Also,look at the Danmoto pipe for this bike on Ebay. They have a more exact fitting system. hope that helps? Ride on,Cheers;)
Only good reason to install aftermarket pipe is to keep the original scratch free for resale. Weight difference is fuck all. It's a quiet bike which is good if you don't want to attract attention.
@@PRTEVYBMW how are you liking those tires now that you've put some more miles on 'em? I just got a newish Versys-X with stock tires, so I'm considering my options to upgrade.
James,My intentions on replacement of the OEM muffler,is to drop weight and to narrow the pipe so the back of my leg stop hitting it.Kawasaki made it to large in my opinion. The cost was very low and has been very good so far! Ride on,Cheers;)
Hello Matheus,Here in the US, We have many on Ebay to buy from. I got one for $65.00 Us shipped to me.I had to drill a hole behide the ride passenger boot peg to hang the pipe strap. I did cut some of the right angle tube to make it fit in place. Their are many people selling on Ebay that will fit with no drilling or cutting.But they all cost over $300.00 and up.One band of muffler is "Yoshimura" and "Akrapovic" and many others. Ride on,Cheers;)

The truck will notice you when you're near. That is less accident

You make a interesting point. Ride on,Cheers;)
Nice sound, had same kind on last bike Honda 500x. Gonna maybe put this on my 650.
Thanks for sharing. But, you mic sounds like a 1962 Military recorder.
It's my iPhone.One of these days I'll get a 4K camera with good audio.Ride on,Cheers;)

Hello Goker, Please check out my last videio on my VX3.I'm off roading her on the fly. Ride on,Cheers;)
@@PRTEVYBMW Thanks. Just watched the video. It sounds beautiful.
Nice video. What else have you done to drop the weight?
No, just what's in this video. RIDE on,Cheers;)
Sounds awesome! What add on seat cushion are you using?
Cut and flair 2" off the downpipes, make it rigid!(support band moves further up the can).
William,Sounds like a plan.I'll look at it soon. Ride on,Cheers;)
Hey! Are you able to share a link to the muffler?
Take a look on "Amazon" it was around $55.00 dollars or so.If not check "Ebay".Some one said it's also on,"Alibaba"? Ride on,Cheers;)
@@PRTEVYBMW Whats the size of the inlet into the muffler? Thanks.

I noticed you use something on top of the seat, is the versys 300 seat so uncomfortable for long trips?
Yes,It's a gel seat pad.Helps with the factory seat,It's way to hard for me.I'll replace it with a "SeatConcept" someday. Ride on,Cheers;)
Well done good job.
Many thanks! Ride on,Cheers;)

@@PRTEVYBMW thanks a lot for the reply. Really appreciate it
Just out of curiosity, what stopped you from getting the danmoto?
The cost. I tried cutting deal with them and no go?! Ride on,Cheers;)

WOW, "F*%# ALL" That's a new one on me?! Well you know everyone has an opinion. Ride on,Cheers;)
For sure. Some people prefer the stock parts even if detached. I am saving all of mine.
@@PRTEVYBMW"Fuck All" is a British expression
and...how do you make a spark arrestor ?
I got some stainless steel mesh from Ebay. And cut it to roll up inside the buffle.Hope that helps you? Ride on,Cheers;)
what tires do You have?
I pulled off the IRC tires and went with, "Kenda 761". They have more bit for Off road,and good up to class 2 riding. Ride on,Cheers;)
@@PRTEVYBMW how are you liking those tires now that you've put some more miles on 'em? I just got a newish Versys-X with stock tires, so I'm considering my options to upgrade.
Why is the audio level broken
Do not know? I'm just a guy making a video in his garage. RIDE on,Cheers;)
It's recorded on a camera with a built-in mic using auto gain adjust
Dosnt seem worth it just to save 6 lbs. plus i like the sound of the stock better. I will keep mine stock. Nice bike though.

@@PRTEVYBMW its all good, mine is just too new for me to make mods yet. Bought mine on the 17 of july 2020
Nice setup Bro! This is the link pipe for ninja 300? I have a Versys 300 here in Brazil but i cant find the slip on for versys-x

Why patronize a company that makes fake junk??? are you that cheap? SMH
Why yes I am. And retired! As for it being junk, I have 4,700 miles on the muffler and still look and sounds GREAT...!! RIDE on, Cheers;)
