hey just wanted your guys' thoughts, im looking into getting a slip on for my sv650 the delkevic is about 200 cheaper than a yoshimura. is the yoshi worth the extra money and does anyone have any experience with delkevic, do they sound as good?

thanks

stubby

mxroostin

yeah i was thinking of the stubby just wondering if anyone has heard them.

stubby

Why are you thinking of me?? And lots of people know the stubby

Personally I would stick with a company that does a fair amount of R&D. Will check out your link shortly.

romo23

im thinking of you because the stubby (you) will look good on the side of my bike and sound good lol jk

He does make some great animal noises!

romo23

i dont need animal sounds just more of a vrrrmmm vrrmmmm
and every ow and then a yutttugggghhh...

stubby

I would stick with Yosh after checking out their web page. Which yosh pipe were you looking at?

turbolq4

the non yosh pipe looks nice but sounds kinda flatulent, i was also wondering which yosh pipe you were looking at?

The best place to get concrete proof would be over on the SV forums since that's all they know or talk about. I come here for rides and to BS, but anything TL specific, it's always TLPlanet or TLZone for me.

you should look on e-bay there is a nice looking jardine on there now bid is 50 bucks. I say look around and buy used if you can find something you'll save some cash.

ok so the full story is i have a yoshi pipe right now on the bike, but someone on cl wants to buy it for 250 cash and i was wondering if i should sell it and get the delkevic and put 100 bucks in my pocket.

@m5james: i read up on them at svrider.com, they have 153 pages on this pipe in one thread and they all say its great but they are going from stock to this so duh... plus ive seen alot of people on there be totally ok with buying ebay stuff for their model and then having to custom fit it, i.e. they have low stanards. but thanks for the heads up

im thinking ill just stick with the yoshi since i have it, just thought i could maybe pocket a 100

romo23

im not sure which one i have but its a full size oval ss. thats all i know.

turbolq4

lets see a pic, really likely an RS-3

romo23

it is an rs-3 i just checked and it has that right under the yoshi name

turbolq4

those are good sounding high quality pipes, my SV has them with the baffles still in place, if you like loud pipes just remove the baffles

romo23

wont that be a problem with back pressure?

turbolq4

get it flashed if it backfires, ive seen sv 650s with that exact pipe that have the baffles removed with no problems

romo23

looks like i may have an additional project after i figure out those stupid sliders....

'01 has carbs.

I've got a stock exhaust that I can sell cheap if you want to pocket some cash (and ride around in stealth mode).

romo23

yeah it has carbs, thanks for the offer but im not into ninja stealth but if you wanna pm me a price i may pick it up just in case i ever need it, i am a part whore like that.

Back Of The Pack

you could always buy a stock can and chop it, no more stealth mode and money in yo pocket.

romo23

true, maybe ill pick up the stock exhaust, chop it and if i like it ill toss the yoshi for some cash and then find something to buy for my bike with it

Back Of The Pack

If you need some pointers I've chopped a few.

turbolq4

oops, didnt realize it was that old, thanks fer catchin my screw up cider

romo23

well turns out my yoshi had the baffle taken out before i bought the bike, and it wasnt included in the sale. that solves that problem

if i pick this up would i need to jet my carbs on the 01 sv650, i already have a kn air filter?

m5james

Long story short, I accidentally filled my 1st bike w/ diesel, so I had to take everything apart to drain and clean it. Jetting was super easy on my Yammy, so if Zuki's are the same, it was literally like changing a screw w/ a smaller orrifice to a larger one. The dealerships parts counter sold the jets for like .50 a piece, so a sales guy and I compared the orrifice sizes to the K&N premade jetting kit they had in stock, then just grabbed em from a bin. Supposedly after jetting, exhaust changes, etc your supposed to get everything re-tuned, buy my R6 was completely fine w/ the changes.

romo23

yeah, i heard you could get away with changing to a kn and slip on exhaust, what i have now, but if i went mid exhaust id probably need to get it jetted. if its that easy maybe ill buy the jet kit and see if i cant do it, even if i dont get the half exhaust.

@james when you get your pc parts back can you email me some pics? im thinking about gettin some stuff done.

m5james

Yeah, for sure. Bailey can do PC work, but he can't do frames, so I'm using someone else and getting it all done in one shot. If you also want help jetting the bike, let me know.

The hardest part is getting the carbs off, but it's definitely not rocket science. Once the carbs are off, changing the jets is simple. Beware the screws on the float bowls--they are notorious for stripping out. They look like normal Phillips-head screws, but they are actually JIS screws. There's a screwdriver in the SV tool kit that will fit them properly.

romo23

hey so im gonna get a jet kit for my bike, im thinking about the dynojet kit. any recommendations? and if i have beer any chance i could get someone to help me install them cuz ive never really messed with carbs.

m5james

Like I said, aren't the jetkits simply new jets and an airfilter? That's what the K&N "kit" was for my R6. Since you've already got a filter, why not just hit the parts dept and buy some jets for like $.50 each.

romo23

fine with me id rather keep the money in my pocket i just seriously have no clue about carbs so i didnt know if id need other parts or just new jets.

m5james

Maybe check around on the SV forums about what jet kits people have used, and we'll go from there. I'm very mechanically inclined, so we'll figure it out.

this cant end well.
