GP1800R #6 $30 Aftermarket Handlebars
A short video explaining how I used a Pro Taper bar pad on the stock Yamaha handlebars and steering column on my 2020 GP1800R SVHO. I also did some other custom modifications with tools you probable already have in your garage to clean up the look of the bars. I did this because I really couldn't justify the $700 price tag of the Riva kit for something I was mainly interested in cosmetically. Total pricetag was $28 in parts, not including the spray paint I already had, and maybe an hour of my time.

GP1800R #1: Air Intake And Crank Case Breather Mods. The Under $50 Alternative to Riva Racing.
is there any coding etc needed or just fit it then ready to go ?
@brodieleask7391 nope. Direct bolt in, doesn't effect any sensors.
am thinking of doing this to my fx, do you have a photo of how it looks from the front?
How is theses 2019 rangers? 1.5 was looking at one with 50k on it
@Ronnie_Herron I've since sold mine to get something bigger with a higher towing capacity, however no major complaints. Rock solid reliable well built little trucks. Even tho they're rated for 7k, If you're not towing more than 5k regularly they're great daily drivers. Gas mileage leaves something to be desired though. They basically get the same MPG as the 2.7 F150s in practice. After a lift and big tires i was averaging about 19.5mpg combined.
Donde puedo conseguir ese kit de escape
What part of potomac do you ride in? Im in MD
I've since moved... I'm now in South Carolina.
Looks great!! I literally just purchased all the parts! Have you thought about anything to do on the hole? I was thinking a black acrylic sheet cut to that size but im not sure how to attach it
@carlosalarcon5175 the riva kit is an aluminum plate snap tabs on the back kinda like a hub cap. I was planning on going to the hardware store and trying to build something, i just never got around to it yet. Ive been riding it as is with no issues it doesnt really bother me. I get plenty of compliments out on the water, no one has said anything about the hole.
Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Came out great, looking to do the same to my fx. $700+ on the Riva kit is crazy. Rather spend it on go fast parts.
Lmao I love the way he’s like ah fuck it just start pulling shit out
Homie sounds like Steve O, lol!
I'm a Drill Instructor in the Marines, my voice is a little fucked at times from work.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Thanks for your service!
If Riva told you to do it like this they wouldn’t make $150. Good video.
Nice video Homie
Use picks to work the entire assembly out (rubber ring surrounding the metal mesh)...no reason to be mangling anything or making such a mess.
The rubber falls right out by hand. You cant get the ribbon out without any sort of cutting... even the riva kits require you to cut with a hole saw.
Does it really matter how he gets it out, my God people are stupid.
How did u get ur odi grips on is there a certain diameter bc mine have always been to big so I usally put take on the bar and put them on
ODI makes a set of end caps that bolt into the end of the factory bars, then the grips clamp nicely to them. They are standard 7/8" bars so make sure you got the 7/8" size grips and not 1." If theyre still looses you may just need to glue them or put a shim under them (like a sliver of a coke can)
I can't find the cylinder head cover anywhere.... do you have a link
Are you talking about the factory plastic engine cover that says yamaha on it?
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy no buddy the plate that says fizzle on it
@user-bt2if2ee4n thats the stock valve cover. I have another video of how i repainted it on my channel.
Excellent Job! Doing the same to my ski. Thank you!
How do you like the exogear speakers?
Junk. Waste of money. One is completely broken and the other i use as a portable speaker sometimes but its nothing compared to a decent JBL. They basically tacked them on and forced me to buy them. It was a weird altercation with the saleswoman and i eventually caved. She threatened to not sell me the whole ski without them. Because there was a waitlist.
Pretty good 👍
we do it on race cars the same way it's accurate with patience.
I liked it)
Great,in theory thats all good only if you don't use turntables under front tires all your calculations are WRONG truck has not settled down as driven on road.
Put 30k miles on it no tire wear. Sold the truck though. I have 4 other vehicles algned the same way driven by me and my wife every day. Like i said in the video, just take it to the shop if you don't want to do it this way, thanks for the reply though!
So what are negatives/risks of removing the ribbon? Yamaha put it there for a reason, right?
It is there because it acts as a "flame arrestor." They are required on all boats in the US basically as a leftover law from a bygone era when boats were carbureted.... Carburetors have a tendency to back fire out of the intake and this can be a fire hazzard for boats... however with modern fuel injected, computer controlled engines, this doesn't happen, however the law still applies.... so you are at most violating an emissions law pertaining to boats. But the possibility of you getting caught doing it is basically zero, i cant imagine anyome would be taking off your intake manifold to inspect it... but if you are concerned about it, they do sell aftermarket air filters that are basically a metal mesh designed for boats to meet the flame arrestor requirement and if you watch my other video on the inake/ccv mod, i explain it a little more in that video.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Thank you for taking the time to respond. This is extremely helpful to know, and makes me much more inclined to do this mod now that I know that it has to do with emissions laws rather than an actual danger risk to the engine somehow.
Did you put an o-ring in at all?
Yes the O ring goes back in when putting it back together. Its just out in the video to not damage it
You need a gear reduction starter
how do you stop water from backing up into the motor when being towed...new guy here...
This effectively is the exact same setup as any other aftermarket free flow exhaust. Neither of which changes the principle of why water doesn't backflow into the engine, because water won't flow uphill.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy thanks, but water will go rise in level if there is back pressure. I am concerned about flooding the engine if my ski has to be towed. I know this is off topic from your video, which I enjoyed. I was here trying to learn about the exhaust system. Thanks again.
@jstone1211 towing or stationary, it wont change the fact that the ski wont sink. It has nothing to do with back pressure keeping the water out... think of it as setting a pool noodle with one end in a pool and the other end on the pool deck, water wont magically move uphill without a vacuum drawing it out. Since the engine is above the water line, there is also no possibility of siphoning... your question has a lot to do with fluid dynamics, however i can assure you, this modification will have absolutely zero impact on the ability of water to enter the engine.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy thanks for your reply. I am staying stock for now as I am new to Jet Skis. I did look at the exhaust on my waverunner. seems like water could be pushed up into the water tank in the system. again thank you for your reply.
wow…you must have liked the math classes. so much easier to just have the truck alignment done on a machine with computerized calculations visible.
Old school mechanics know math. Cars were invented with pencil and paper.
What happened to the vids
Haven't been riding or changing much on my ski lately been busy with work. Hopefully get some more time late summer.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Awesome I got 81mph with the mods you posted!!!!
My 2021 svho won't pass 40mph. The one way bearing it fine. Idk what else someone mentioned what you just said. 36 hrs on the ski. And suggest?
been wondering why people dont just do this instead of the Riva kit, remove the flame arrestor element and put it back together... easy. Thanks your video explained why there was a need for the replacement flange on their kit that i couldn't figure out
Bro thx for the Torque specs.
How’s the catch can holding up. I just did mine last night
No issues. Just make sure to use some loctite on the bolts
Thanks for the video! I am thinking about doing this to my gp1800r, however, I am wondering how well has the silicone elbow worked? I realized most of the silicone pipings are rated for about 200celcius, I am worried if the exhaust gas will get too hot for it?
The exhaust is mixed with water from the water box, so in theory, it cant get any hotter than the boiling point of water of 100c.... mine held up just fine for over 100 hours before i switched to a thru hull exhaust for no reason other than me wanting it.
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy 👍
You are the only one on the entire internet who managed to drill and destroy this ribbon filter vs gently sliding it out, and not removing manifold....
What are you talking about, there is just no way to gently slice it out, it is bigger then the opening.
Yeah 2021 plus there is no way that thing is pulling out, now if you drill that outer plastic part out with the kit, sure. But if you don’t want to buy that kit this guy is doing fine. You should have seen mine, I drilled like 20 holes hahah
You are not the only one on the internet that doesn't know WTF you're talking about.
This year and newer has to be cut out. Pre 2019 (i believe) slide out. Even the riva kits require cuttinf with a supplied hole saw bit.
Dumb idea. The water box prevents water getting in to the engine in case of a flip over.
The baffles were replaced, not the water box. The water box is still in place.
Does anyone know the difference between a normal riva rear exhaust and a riva free flow exhaust (other then the price)
Rear thru hull exhaust you have to cut a hole in the hull. Free flow you do not.
@@kingmike2121 cut a hole for the new exhaust and seal the existing exhaust hole ?
You didn't need to do all that. The first hole should have been the right size drill bit so that you could immediately screw a small slide hammer for pulling dents out of cars. Auto zone and others sell this slide hammer. It would have popped right out after screwing into the hole you made with the sheet metal screw tip on the slide hammer and a couple slaps with the weight the ribbon would have popped out clean with no more drilling or metal debris created. I want to do this to my 2020. But I cannot get anyone to tell me that their skin improved performance after doing this. If the ribbon is that restrictive, it's got to make more power...or maybe it actually doesn't became of some physics reason.
I did this with a screw driver, no drilling needed or metal shavings
What are the gains to all this work?
The common conception is that you will get increased airflow through the intake.... The main reason I personally did this mod, i meantioned in the video. There is a possibility for the ribbon itself to come out of its position and get sucked into the intake... the ribbon itself isnt big enough to do any harm but the rubber gasket can. The rubber gasket can get sucked into an intake valve and bend the valve. Under warrenty this isnt an issue, but if you're going to modify your ski and void the warrenty in the first place, its good insurance for future bigger mods. But probably a negligible performance increase.
Well said
Nice!
In theory this may be useful for the HO versions since there is no forced air induction...I wonder if the 2022 skis built for export are still fitting these?
What speaker setup you got??
It came with the "audio package" from yamaha but it was completely pointless. It was just 2 shitty waterproof Bluetooth rechargeable speakers and mounts. Terrible speakers, no bass, could hear them over 20mph and one of them stopped working in 2 weeks so i just took them off. No speakers on it now
Man, i think im going to do it to my 22 fx. Was thinking of buying the delete kit but i dont see any difference & way cheaper to just delete
Can you point me out to a video of how to remove the intake manifold out? So far, I can not find one.
th-cam.com/video/7803m7M1aiw/w-d-xo.html
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Thanks. I removed all the screws and all the straps below the manifold. How much force you need to apply to make the plastic manifold loose. ? I found it to hard, like is not loosened at all
@@2SHARP4UIQ150 it should nearly fall off with no force... you most likely have some bolts left in it. There are 2 bolts down at thr very bottom on either corner of the manifold. They are the same size as the ones that go all along the intake ports (in the fuel rail area)
@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Thank you so much. You were right.

@@ZF5foraWhiteGuy Did the drone get better with the Worx silicone ffe?
@@Mike-xn1bh yes much better but there is still some.
Thank you for this vid!!!
Hi did it cause any issues with water levels as I see you have now changed to the worx through hull which goes up higher inside the hull under the seat before dropping back down to exit?
hello brother., send the link of the complete intake it is for a yamaha vxs 2016
Did you run into any problems when you did it or was it a job that you do and you get up and go is there anything to it that I would need to know as you can see in my profile picture I have a 2014 Yamaha FZS SVHO and I really wanna do this instead of buying the Riva kit But I wanna make sure it’s a get up and go type of thing
I did it in combination with a few other mods at the same time, but i was pleased with the results.
