1997 Yamaha Royal Star XVZ 1300 A Logo

I want to put after market pipes/mufflers on a 1997 Yamaha RSTD 1300. It is a V4 motor, so there are four pipes coming off the cylinders. I'd like to get a 4:2 conversion similar to the 2008 model. Can I find such pipes, and will I have to rejet and retune the carbs? Approximately how much will it cost to do this?

No it will not. You probably don't NEED to rejet at all. If the manufacturer suggests it for your bike and pipe combination I would follow their advice. If they do not suggest it I would use a dyno to get the best performance from your new setup. Keep in mine your new exhaust only lowers the back pressure. You haven't changed the intake parameters at all as far as airflow. So any additional air going into the cylinders due to your new exhaust will only be because of the reduced volume in the cylinder while the intake valve is open. This is a rather small amount, so don't get all crazy and jump several jet sizes at once.

First off did you buy it new? Second has it gone through its break in tune up yet?Did you do the re jeting? My guess is it was re jeted wrong & neeeds to be re jeted again or could also need more air(upgraded air kit) or a tfi or power comand fuel mod.My bike also poped untill I did the air & fuel upgrades & them upgrades will also give you a much needed house power needed for this rig.


Bring it to a shop & have it looked at.......


Good luck

SOURCE: Carb (Mikuni) flooding on Yamaha Vmax motor cycle

You will have to adjust the float pin of tht particular carb and don't remove them off the rack..just pull them out of the engine and work on the one tht needs attention.
Hope this helps!

I would double check compatibility and wiring hook-up of the A/M CDI. See if the previous jets (if undamaged) improve top end. The leaner, the meaner!

I have a 2006 Royal Star Tour Deluxe with a 1300 V4 engine.I would like to know if the existing stock mufflers have any kind of removable baffles or anything that could be removed to effect the sound of...

loud sound is attractive to only the rider and will attract the ire of the neighbours and the law
another point , if the manufacturers thought that a modified muffler was good for the engine , the loud mufflers would be already fitted but as the design of the mufflers also includes economy and engine life that means that a balance of economy , engine reliability and noise is struck in the factory

I would like my vtx 1300 to be a little louder. can i drill a small hole in the back of the muffler to make it louder will this work any pros or cons please

Honda mufflers typically have several baffle walls You may need a drill 14 or more inches in length to punch through enough of these walls to make a noticeable difference. Changing the back pressure of the exhaust will also lean the mixture. This may cause a bad hesitation on take off. This will happen if you change the exhaust system also. To correct the hesitation you may need to install a jet kit on a carburetor model (about $100) or install a Power Commander on a fuel injected model (about $400 plus programming). In both cases your fuel economy will go down. Your stock system has a five year warranty, should not blue like an aftermarket pipe (unless you leave the choke on too long), and have a good long service life. Unfortunately there is no easy solution for your problem. Any aftermarket system will be way to loud (especially on the freeway) and drilling may not give you the desired sound you are looking for leaving you angry and frustrated. Consider a different option, One of the best sound options I have heard was a set of stock Harley pipes adapted to a Yamaha Virago 1100. Most Harley riders change out there exhaust systems before they even ride there bikes which should offer a cheap high quality system that can be adapted to your stock headers with common automotive adapter pipes and custom build it yourself supports (a simple modification of your stock pipe support/mounts). By not damaging your stock system you can always put it back on if you do not get the desired effect.

Royal star one cylinder is not firing accordingly how can I check the coil?

I would swop the coils but it won't be a coil if only one is misfiring. Swop the lead and then plug over.
The coils serve two cylinders each.
