Thanks for posting this! It was great that you included the stock exhaust on camera to compare. My yoshi system gets here next week for my 12' Ninja 650. Can't wait!
I have the same bike but in black. just installed the exhaust yesterday and it just sounds so DAMN GOOD. its way better in person no camara can really do it justice its just so good in person. this is the only thing I have done that's been done to the bike everything else is completely stock. it dose backfire at around 4to 5,000 rpm when you let off the throttle. its so good in traffic ppl actually hear you coming.
I bought full Yoshimura RS4 exhaust for $225 used from Ebay and it was in 10 out of 10 condition he only used it for about 6 month and sent me the original receipt too
This is an excellent first street bike .. powerful enough that you don't get bored like on a 250/300, but not enough torque for you to really mess up on. This one is actually for sale right now if you're interested :D
Yeah I definitely realized that afterwards. I was in the process of moving and the garage was full. My newest video has my new bike before and after in the same place. Thanks.
@FryeBros I did not put in a power commander. Everyone says you have to but I really didn't want to have to buy one. I live in Colorado and have only got to ride it a few times since the install since it is so cold here, but it seems to be running perfectly. No backfiring and it doesn't seem to be running lean at all.
@WhoopingCof Sure will! I will put up a video of revving before and after too. In all these aftermarket exhaust videos nobody seems to go past 3 or 4k rpms.
@Thunderbird2935 I was in my apartment complex parking lot and that yosh exhaust is so freaking loud that I couldn't rev it very high without pissing people off. The loudness just does not make it's way into the video.
One more question about the sport bars. If you've ever been on a supersport bike, how do they compare to the riding posture? I just rode an 04 cbr600rr for about 20 miles and it was a very comfortable, aggressive riding position. Getting back on my ninja 650 with the stock bars felt like being on a dirtbike. PS. Got my Yoshimura installed, it sounds awesome! My video will be up soon.
I haven't ridden one yet, and to be honest I'm kind of aching to get one (I've sat on a few). How much faster was the cbr than your 650? The 650 sport bars are probably in the middle of the stock bars and the bars on the CBR. I'm excited to see your video, I'll sub you.
hey i have the same bike, but i wondering what kind of handle bar system you are using??? i have been really wanting to do like clip ons, but its my understanding that they dont really go on very well for the 650. any help would be asom.
Hey bud, I just put up my video with my new exhaust installed. I didn't do a before and after like you did...the stock exhaust just wasn't worth it anymore. ;) Brand new integrated tail light video to come soon too.
Brother...you can probably answer a question that I have been looking to get answers for a LONG time....did you put in a power commander??? I don't want extra performance out of my bike- just a nicer sound...so, do I NEED a power commander???? Thanks for any input!!! I have the exact same bike! Ride safe...
Okay. I have the 2013 Ninja 650. I'm still fairly new to owning a bike and I dont know too much about them yet. I was a little disappointed when I took it out and top speed is like 130. I didnt know if by putting a new exhaust on would help or if there was a governor that keeping me from going faster? I was talking today with a guy that had a Yamaha 600 (cant remember what it was) but he could go like 160.
i have the same bike and i was wondering what you did about a fuel management system/ power commander? since its a full system you need it but ive heard with the ninja 650s you dont "need" one.
tyler henning Basically if u wanna increase the power then u need the full set i.e free flow intake power commander / remapped ecu and the full system exhaust. If sound is all you are after and maybe making the throttle a little free then only the exhaust will suffice
I like that sound, but for ma taste, more for a dual trail, or dirt. I had a Yosh on a KLR 650, was good. But the Yosh sounds better on 4 cylinders, I think.
Quick question bro. . I just installed this very same exhaust on my ninja 650 too however I have one question, the exhaust tip is very close to the rear tire do you think this would cause the tire to melt and maybe explode?
Yoshimura says is supposed to be close but not touching. A little under half an inch. I have 3400 miles on my bike with that exhaust and no issues yet.
That carbon fiber tip doesn't get that hot anyway. And with the tire moving and air moving around it, I doubt there's really any difference in the tire temperature.
@Thunderbird2935 I really really like them. I like a more aggressive riding position so this helps, and steering is noticeably better since your weight is more over the front wheel. I really hated how upright you have to sit with the stock bars. I got them off of ninja650shop(dot)com. I also recommend the yosh fender eliminator kit, it makes a world of difference when it comes to the look of the bike!
sir.... can u tell me about ninja 650, it is worth for me to buy this bike? i like ninja 650 model, so aggresive so cool but... in Indonesia this bike so expensive.. around $12.869 dollar :( for 2 cylinder machine... or should i take ninja Z800 second hand? same price but different machine sir :(
I live in memphis and am looking for a Ninja 650. This would be my first bike and am 6.1 so I dont want to be on a 250/300. How much is this going for?
Just some constructive criticism, but it would have been a better comparison to stock if you had done them in the same place. the stock sound was inside an enclosed garage while the Yoshi test was outdoors in the open. Makes it hard to tell the true difference
No matter what brand of slip on exhaust you put on any 2 cylinder engines, it will not sound better than the 4 cylinder engines even with lesser displacements with stock exhaust.
WhoopingCof you sold your bike away? do you have particular reason for NOT to like your 650R + yoshi exhaust..? may be you can share your though together here.. TQ
Captain mimie The 650 was a great starter bike for me but I have always wanted a super sport. I sold this and purchased a 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 636 and put a M4 exhaust on it.
It's a good tourer right?. What about the handlebars, sitting upright for a fast bike makes you feel a little disconnected. I am going to get one anyway. There's nothing good as Ninja650 at that price range
Hari haran well mine has the sport bars so I'm a lil more leaned over. my back def hurts after a long ride. idk how it's lke with stock bars bc they're in my trunk lol, the guy i bought the bike from already had these on. stock bars are probably similar to the yamaha fz6r but the pegs on this are def further back. my friend has the fz6r and we bike swap sometimes. his is way more upright and begs are more forward. his bike is way heavier tho, even tho on paper it's only 10lbs, it feels way wayyy heavier i want a supersport but don't regret this bike at all, it's the greatest stater bike out there imo
I've heard pretty much every available exhaust for a ninja 650 on youtube and the only exhaust that actually sounds anything remotely close to sport bike is the stock exhaust. Anything thing else and the sound of the bike doesn't match the look of the bike. Everyone knows a ninja 650 isn't a real sport bike but when people go changing the exhaust the sound of it is a dead giveaway for anyone within ear shot that someones riding a poser bike.
+1984sFinest A poser bike? Really? You must be one of those kids that bought a liter bike for the first bike to swing dicks around. The 650 is a great all around bike. While, I argue it is not the best beginner bike for reasons, it does do good in that regard as well as offer great cruising and performance when asked of those that know its limits. Anyone that calls any bike a "poser bike" is the same people that ride around on 600cc 4 bangers with slip on exhausts on the highway at 70 mph in 3rd gear cruising. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. My new 15 650r rocks socks in all regards. Let me know how long you can ride hunched over listening to your loud ass raspy slip on on a long distance trip without stopping.
08650rRider I actually owned a 2012 650 so I have every right to say whatever I want about them. And yeah, it's a poser biker whether you like it or not! It's a glorified scooter which is why I only had it for one season. But you have fun putting around on your little boy bike and when you get a real bike, come on back and maybe i'll talk to you like a man.
+1984sFinest Ha. ok. let me see pictures of your one season worth of tire on the ass end actually worn edge to edge. Lets also see what you ride now., and its tire wear. Better yet, lets look at how stupid you sound talking about something as fast as an STI in a straight line, and call it slow. Get fucked mate, you make responsible owners look bad.
08650rRider Awww, the kiddo is butt hurt because he's riding a 650. Don't worry squirt. Someday you'll get a real bike and everything I said about the 650 will make sense. 650 fast... comical!!! You crack me up.
+1984sFinest Naw, butter cup. The fact is you call it a poser bike. It is a "sports cruiser". It knows exactly what its doing when it leaves the house in that dress. No one (apparently you though) buys one to compete with a true "sport bike" or treat it as such. I bought one to cruise with a dash of sport. If I was in the market for true sport. I would have bought one. This is the same battle as a Harley rider waving his dick at a sports rider. Never said it was fast, I clearly said "as fast as an sti". Never claimed an STI is fast either. But stay safe out there, it is a wild world on the road.
The Yosh is by far my favourite sounding exhaust for this bike
Thanks for posting this! It was great that you included the stock exhaust on camera to compare. My yoshi system gets here next week for my 12' Ninja 650. Can't wait!
I have the same bike but in black. just installed the exhaust yesterday and it just sounds so DAMN GOOD. its way better in person no camara can really do it justice its just so good in person. this is the only thing I have done that's been done to the bike everything else is completely stock. it dose backfire at around 4to 5,000 rpm when you let off the throttle. its so good in traffic ppl actually hear you coming.
8 years later still the best
That sounds amazing and deffo improves the look too :)
Thanks man .. Huge fan of your channel so I appreciate the comment. I have a 2013 zx6r now so I'll try and post some videos soon!
what size risers did you get on the new handlebar kit? seen a few videos on here and most of my fellow 650 riders have the same brand..
Thanks man, really appreciate it! =)
I wish the 2012 gen bikes would allow a slip on. That's quite an investment for a full exhaust system.
Nice!
I bought full Yoshimura RS4 exhaust for $225 used from Ebay and it was in 10 out of 10 condition he only used it for about 6 month and sent me the original receipt too
This is the deal im looking for
Thanks for the comment. You're going to love it, let me know how it is!
This is an excellent first street bike .. powerful enough that you don't get bored like on a 250/300, but not enough torque for you to really mess up on. This one is actually for sale right now if you're interested :D
Looks sick and sounds great too! I never knew how horrible stock was
Yeah I definitely realized that afterwards. I was in the process of moving and the garage was full. My newest video has my new bike before and after in the same place. Thanks.
@FryeBros I did not put in a power commander. Everyone says you have to but I really didn't want to have to buy one. I live in Colorado and have only got to ride it a few times since the install since it is so cold here, but it seems to be running perfectly.

Still sounds good
@WhoopingCof Sure will! I will put up a video of revving before and after too. In all these aftermarket exhaust videos nobody seems to go past 3 or 4k rpms.
@Thunderbird2935 I was in my apartment complex parking lot and that yosh exhaust is so freaking loud that I couldn't rev it very high without pissing people off. The loudness just does not make it's way into the video.
How many kms have you clocked since u have installed the exhaust? Does the exhaust make the throttle on of transitions any smoother?
One more question about the sport bars. If you've ever been on a supersport bike, how do they compare to the riding posture? I just rode an 04 cbr600rr for about 20 miles and it was a very comfortable, aggressive riding position. Getting back on my ninja 650 with the stock bars felt like being on a dirtbike.

Hey WhoopingCof, how do you like the sport bars? How much does it affect handling? Are they the ones that are on ebay?
Did you end up getting a PC? If so what map did you use? I cant seem to find one.
Sounds like a lawn mower
@WhoopingCof Oh okay! I understand. I'll probably head out to somewhere private to do it then.
Did you install a power commander after putting on this exhaust?
hey i have the same bike, but i wondering what kind of handle bar system you are using??? i have been really wanting to do like clip ons, but its my understanding that they dont really go on very well for the 650. any help would be asom.
Yeah that's just the sound of the engine. MSRP is like $720 and I found it on Amazon for 580ish
Question... Where did you get your handle bars from?
No it didn't have a power commander, but it was running pretty rich so it needed one.
Hey bud, I just put up my video with my new exhaust installed. I didn't do a before and after like you did...the stock exhaust just wasn't worth it anymore. ;) Brand new integrated tail light video to come soon too.

Yoshimura says is supposed to be close but not touching. A little under half an inch. I have 3400 miles on my bike with that exhaust and no issues yet.
I wrote to yoshimura and they sent me a picture of how close the exhaust should be to the tire. I am unable to post that picture here.
That carbon fiber tip doesn't get that hot anyway. And with the tire moving and air moving around it, I doubt there's really any difference in the tire temperature.
So you have problems with the exhaust rubbing on your boots?
No the exhaust sits a little further in then the pegs so my boots never were close to the exhaust.
Were you running a power commander with that
Did you need to flip off your brake line when you have instaled your sports handle bar?
Yeah, you gotta flip the banjo bolt 180 degrees.
@Thunderbird2935 I really really like them. I like a more aggressive riding position so this helps, and steering is noticeably better since your weight is more over the front wheel. I really hated how upright you have to sit with the stock bars. I got them off of ninja650shop(dot)com. I also recommend the yosh fender eliminator kit, it makes a world of difference when it comes to the look of the bike!
What all did u have to buy? The full exhaust set? I have a 13 650 and want to put a yoshi exhaust but I don't want to buy parts I won't need
U need to buy full system if u just buy th3 piece of the back wont sound good
i've got the same bike and also live in colorado. im interested in getting the same yoshi pipe you got. maybe we can ride sometime.
are the silencers out of the yosh?
If i bought 2011 headers would they fit and allow slip on exhaust? prefer not to have to spend so much extra money for a full system
is that a slip on or a full system?
Did you need to flip the banjo bolt when you installed the sports bars?
Yes and bleed the brake
Yeah I had the dealer flip the bolt for me so I didn't have to bleed the brake.
+WhoopingCof did you need to tune up your bike?
i live in memphis and im about to buy a 650 on friday we should ride sometime man
Still has a little of the whirring. How much was it?
were did you order the exhaust from?
I got it from Amazon
sir.... can u tell me about ninja 650, it is worth for me to buy this bike? i like ninja 650 model, so aggresive so cool but... in Indonesia this bike so expensive.. around $12.869 dollar :( for 2 cylinder machine... or should i take ninja Z800 second hand? same price but different machine sir :(
I live in memphis and am looking for a Ninja 650. This would be my first bike and am 6.1 so I dont want to be on a 250/300. How much is this going for?
what its the model of the yoshimura exhaust???
Just some constructive criticism, but it would have been a better comparison to stock if you had done them in the same place. the stock sound was inside an enclosed garage while the Yoshi test was outdoors in the open. Makes it hard to tell the true difference
Good first street bike? I've been riding dirt bikes all my life .
Do you lose back pressure since the exhaust change ??
yes and thats a good things with a tune
cool vid. got a 2013 650, looking to get the same exhaust. do you got Facebook?
Any good solutions for its exhaust
Hi
Please help me with the sports bar, from where i can order?
I didn't get a PC .. I think you might have to take it to a shop to get it dyno'd and get a map for it.
Where you running a power commander with that
is this a slip on exhaust?
I have the same bike how do you like the yoshi pipe?
MMMNNNNNMBBBBBB o I
It is a full system .. you cannot get a slip on for the 2012/2013 ninja 650
@Pearce Trenary Sent you a PM
No matter what brand of slip on exhaust you put on any 2 cylinder engines, it will not sound better than the 4 cylinder engines even with lesser displacements with stock exhaust.
Yamaha FZ7/MT-07 with an Akrapovic titanium exhaust sounds mean though.
Except V-Twin engine.
of course not but it helps lol
V twin engine sound doesn't appeal me as well. Some sounds like a tractor, a parallel twin or even a single cylinder engine.
And how many miles?
will you make a install video please?
I'm sorry, I no longer have this bike so I can't film an install :(
WhoopingCof you sold your bike away? do you have particular reason for NOT to like your 650R + yoshi exhaust..? may be you can share your though together here.. TQ
Captain mimie The 650 was a great starter bike for me but I have always wanted a super sport. I sold this and purchased a 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 636 and put a M4 exhaust on it.
can you send me the link of where you bought it if you still know it ? =/
Ninja650shop.com
The rear spoke needs replacing bro
Why there is so much smoke out of the OEM pipe and little smoke out of the Yoshi?..I did enjoy enjoy your vid though..makes me wana go Hummmm!...lol.
Really nice clean bike but $6000 is a big over budget, being my first street bike I want to buy one priced a little lower. Thanks tho hope it sells
I'm not sure .. since the 2011 is so different from the 2012/2013 I would have to say probably not but I'm not positive.
is that bike heavy?
Not a very heavy bike, very easy to flick around with ease!
Around 200kgs
in california?
Colorado
I would like er6n in usa, too bad they dont have eit
is this a single cylinder
+Zane Zinn no parallel twin so is the ninja 300
For how much$
el caño original lo prueba en un lugar cerrado y el otro afuera, eso es hacer trampa ja jaa
I was thinking it sounded like a scooter
Sent you a PM
Do**
Saiki wong ameirca sing ning indoensia lagi lapo..... Omongke love oive matamu picek kui love. Omongin ngono. Haha.lah yo sak enake dewe.
Wrong- Two Bros makes a slip on for K12/13
All 2 cylinders sound like fartcans
ninja650shop(dot)com
No, they don't.
great bike but, sounds like a tractor
yeah but at high rpm it sounds good. i have the same bike
It's a good tourer right?. What about the handlebars, sitting upright for a fast bike makes you feel a little disconnected. I am going to get one anyway. There's nothing good as Ninja650 at that price range

Sound 650' but idont like...twin cilinder
yuck haha
Sounds horrible
