If you don't wish to go as far as baffle removal, try this: Drill our the rivets that hold the plate to the end of pipes, and remove. Now drill the hole that remains out to about 1/2 inch- you may want to add a 4th hole. For looks, you may also want to saw off the last 1 1/2- 2 inches of the baffle itself, to make it flush with the opening. You can touch up with some inexpensive black spray paint. I did this to my wife's '97 VN 800 Classic, and she loves the sound and the look.

Aftermarket exhaust systems are available which will have more flow through and are louder.

However, I always love the sound of a stock exhaust.

SOURCE: Fluid changeing.

hello should be small cover on gear shift side of case with 3-4 screws in it , oil filter is behind cover, not many fluids to change on this bike unless it is automatic, also there is big screw in bottom of motor to drain oil.

Are the carbs on the us model and the uk model have the same specs.on a kawasaki vn 800 2005

the us bikes are normaly set up to meet the california clean air regulations, as europe have/had no restrictions i would expect the would be jetting differences, prob on the lean side of things for the us bike larger main jet etc, if you find a carb check and see what jets are fitted for main and pilot, also the needle might be set lower..( weaker )

Ho w to remove the silencer of a 2008 kawaski ninja2 50r

Kawasaki engineers spend years fine-tuning exhaust systems for best performance, while staying legal. If you did what you propose, not only will you lose power, but you will also eventually burn out your exhaust valves from over-heating due to improper air backflow. Sure it might sound cool. But, is it worth it? You're much better off buying an aftermarket pipe. Either way, you MUST have your bike professionally re-tuned for best performance and reliability. Otherwise, you're just trashing your bike.

Too quiet

Drill one hole 1/2" diameter in each muffler. Want more noise, drill another hole. No loss of performance.
  • Do you really want to drill into a $600 set of mufflers?
  • Will the trade-in value be less?
  • Will it sell faster if it is noisey?
  • Am I promoting rusting the mufflers?
Just food for thought my friend. . .
