I totally forgot to start the bike so you guys could hear the header/exhaust... please check out this link for that - th-cam.com/video/sOjRmoER5gc/w-d-xo.html
There used to be a video on TH-cam but now it's on Rumble On of the British Biker In The Philippines that installed one on his bike. He has the Serrow. I didn't see the O2 Sensor on his. On Webike there are 2 stainless steel exhaust headers the one you bought and commented on and the one he bought and commented on. Is the O2 sensor the only difference between the 2?
@@not1au Thanks Bent Water 🙂! I purchased the header and heat shield from Webike. The links are in the description. I would imagine the header would match up with the oem exhaust. If I recall I think the product listing said the header was the same dimensions as the oem header. Might want to research the dimensions none the less to be on the safe side.
Just bought a XT 250 and like what you’ve done with yours. Hoping you might have part numbers for your complete exhaust system. I’m new to this and would really appreciate any help or direction. Thanks
@@gregggruse2522 Thanks. I don't have the specific part numbers, but I usually attach the part/ item links on the videos. Just check in the descriptions.
These are the most misunderstood bikes. I'm 6'2 and ride a KX 450 and a ZRX 1200r. I fell into the typical stereotype of this bike and bought one for my girlfriend to ride 10 years ago. The girlfriend is long gone, but the bike remains. It's my trusted little donkey. I use it for fishing expeditions. Gets me to some hard to reach places.
Cool you still have it and also enjoy it along with the other more dominant rides you have.Yamaha did a great job with these and I feel they provide long-term longevity. I'm about to try something new out parts wise that was a big expenditure 🤞 it jives well with the bike.
@@findingneutral I've never had a problem with it. Just tires, brake pads and oil changes. You can't beat air-cooled, fuel injected bikes for reliability. There's a reason they still sell these bikes. I also had the chance to ride the XT225. Great machine. About 50lbs lighter than our bikes. Basically, a street legal trials bike.
@@mcscotty325 Thats all great news to hear. I'm planning on my XT250 being my last girlfriend and hope to ride it into my old age 😄👍. Part of the reason I've showered it with lavish accessories. I had bought a 2021 and got the itch to trade up and used it as trade for my CB500X. Instantly regretted it. Turned around and got a 2022 and plan on not parting with it. Have you seen the XT250X? Only sold overseas as far as I can tell, but very cool concrete jungle version of our bike. Thats my next experiment I'm working on. But only the wheels. I've not messed with the gearing or suspension as I feel its just fine as is. This bike fits my 5'6 145pds like a glove too. I really like less bells and whistles as I'm not very mechanically inclined. Have to admit I do envy bigger bikes like your Z though. I've never had the chance to even ride anything like that. Your is retro bad ass. I came very close to trading all my bikes for a z900rs, but pondered it so long and realized for what I do it was overkill. Still love the looks bikes like yours.
I'm planning on keeping mine for the long haul, as well. Parts are plentiful. I'm looking around for an SR400 now. Nice little bike for running around the city. The ZRX can be a handful, but I'll never part with it. The KX will have to go to make room for the SR. Doesn't get much ride time nowadays.
Rule 1. Never show off a pipe without before and after sounds. Wish you had shown how close the pipe's business end is to the bike. Seen a couple of XT plate holders making stalagmites melting on a long haul with a too short or too close aftermarket pipe. The plastic Yamaha uses for that part of the bike is not heat resistant. That is why I kept my XT standard and lost 40lbs to "get more power" out of my bike. Pipe does look great though. Good job! Just watch out for proper heat dissipation. You might want to thank me later. Been around these bikes since Rambo made them popular. Nailing an underpower bike like an XT is still way more fun than trying to hold back an overpowered bike up to 55mph. Ride safe and may your angel always fly ahead.
Thanks Connie 🙂! That Rambo XT250 is one of my favorite chases. I researched before installing the Delkevic and also on the 2020 Yamaha XT250 I had prior. It had a Delkevic, but it was the shorter DS70. I still have that video posted as well. 'No Ones Watching' did a great video on how his FMF melted away his plastics. There is also a Aussie Mate named Chip who posted a really good video on his 18 inch Delkevic version and I asked him directly if he had any melting and he said no. Luckily for me I saw these videos prior to my final purchase choices. Neither version I've owned heats the plastic at all. If it did no way I'd have it. I never posted a before audio of the oem sound as I figured most know what they sound like, but I understand some may not. I'm just using a cell phone and am not super tech savvy re: editing. I wish I was. I'd do better videos otherwise. I dig the looks of the stainless header & exhaust even though it probably offers no power boost. One bummer is I found out I best not drop my bike hard on the carbon fiber as it cracks easy. I'm still novice and learning so that's good to know. Luckily I'm not hard-core off rider. I enjoy just casually riding listening to my IPOD so hopefully I'll keep the rubber side down. Thanks for checking out my video out and your insight. Much appreciated and be safe out there as well.
Out of curiosity can you give me your opinion on owning a larger CC bike vs say a 250-500cc? Are they level up fun wise? Or eventually feel about the same fun factor over time? I'm really pondering a z900rs. Thanks for any insight.
I own or have owned everything from 125-250 on up to my 1900cc bike, 500, 650-700, etc. The fun factor always goes up as weight goes down for me personally/generally. But there are certain bikes that are just way more fun than they should be (and others that are quite underwhelming). Depends where and how you ideally ride as well.
@@chazlyle41 Thanks for sharing this bike knowledge and experience Chaz. Beings you've been there and done that bike wise this information is very helpful to me. Wondering if I'm missing out on more fun by not having something bigger and faster has been on my mind for some time. Your post and particularly the last sentence really made me think it over more clearly. Asked myself what more could I do safely and legally where I live and ride. With my novice experience level riding wise on a 900cc vs what I already own essentially nothing more is my conclusion. I still have fun and feel my bikes are financially modest in the scheme of things. Thank you again for taking the time to share this information. Really appreciate it 🙏
@@findingneutral For sure. The other thing I'll note is that a lot of bikes that were stupid fun / exhilerating for me (on a test ride) would not be so in my day to day. If you've found the limit of your bike and you're a better rider than it allows you to push it, then it may be time to upgrade. But I've ridden bikes like the R6 and MT09/XSR900 and FTR 1200 and as fun as they were in the moment, they would be horrible daily drivers for me. Way too much bike. I think a lot of people aren't honest with themselves and they want the fastest bike in town without realize they'd have infinitely more fun riding within their means. You can't get more fun than a Dual Sport (or Super Moto) in my humble opinion. Everyone goes CRAZY over how fun a Grom is because it's just so little and nimble and you don't have to take it so seriously or care much about your investment if you drop it. But they also wish it had more power and went off road better . . . then turn around and say a 250-300 Dual Sport or SM is "not big enough" when it is exactly the bike they wish they had. They just allow public perception to sway their true needs. Just me personal assessment. I love riding my 2022 Chief Dark Horse. But I have more fun on a bike a don't feel bad for dropping or putting away filthy haha. Cheers, and safe riding.
Its because they market this item for the Japanese Serow version of our XT250. The Beams header pipe heat shield mounting holes are in line for the Serow's one piece oem heat sheild. Unfortunately we have two heat shield segments, the big silver sheild then the little black one further back. I do believe you could make your oem heat sheild usable with this header, but that would require a bit of drilling or rigging. I did search for an oem Serow heat shield but had no luck. Finally just opted for this one. Hope this information is helpful.
@Finding Neutral I found the OEM Heat Shield for the Serrow and ordered all the parts to install it on the Stainless Steel Exhaust I just ordered from Webike. I bought the one without the O2 Sensor . IMPEX JAPAN as the correct heat shield
Do you still have the muffler system off your old 2020 xt250 that you traded in? Or would you consider selling the complete exhaust system you took off of either bike?
Thanks. Going on 2,700 miles and no popping at all. This is the second xt250 and second Delkevic exhaust ive had. Neither one ever popped or had any other issues at all fortunately. I literally just swapped out the oem exhaust. No intake or ecu mods required just doing that per the folks at Delkevic. @jessegonzalezjr2937
I installed the beam stainless header and the 18-in delkavic silencer and a k&n air filter 600 miles in with no issues until around 3200 miles then it started the over lean popping on deceleration last night I installed ias delete block plate and and removed the air pump instantly no more popping the guy I heard that from had installed a power commander and it didn't fix the issue it wasn't until he installed the block plate and remove the air pump that the issue resolved itself instantly. just a little fyi in case you ever start having an issue in other words do the cheap and easy smog delete before investing in a power commander it'll fix the issue if you ever have one 👍
@@jessegonzalezjr2937I never changed my oem air filter to a performance one. And I used some copper sealant at my joints during installation. Maybe that helped for no popping? I did see a TH-cam video on an XT250 where a guy just simply swapped the air filter to a k&n and started having issues. But who knows. Glad you got yours sorted. And thanks for this information. Good to have just in case something changes once I get more miles like you.
The sound didn't change that I could tell from this previous video I posted. th-cam.com/video/pF2xiERjX5A/w-d-xo.html But your right. Should have started it for those who did not see that.
Ugh, I feel kind of dumb now. Your right. I should have had cranked it up. Heres my other video on it. Sorry about that Chad. I will do separate video here shortly for you. In the meantime please check out. th-cam.com/video/pF2xiERjX5A/w-d-xo.html
