- 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C90 Exhaust Upgrade to Hard Krome 3" Big Straights, Cobra FI2000 and K&N air filter. Side by side comparison at the end.
- ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I have a 2002 Intruder the pre-runner to the Boulevard. I installed a set of Cobra Dragster pipes and she will wake up the dead with those pipes. Breathes so much better.
The power increase was noticeable. I'm happy with the Cobra FI controller. At the time I got a deal on the exhaust and needed the controller but was short on money. If I could have afforded it I would have gone with the Vance and Hines exhaust and controller. But I am happy with what I got.
Dude shes gonna be riding cycle when she gets older thanks to you.. Bike seems amazing. Nice vid
Thanks Joe. She is very interested. Just a little too young...
Great bike I have an 05 put a mustang seat and you'll love er even more
Cool. I have a 2006 with the touring package. It's got 90,000 on it and still strong. Yours has a nice sound, but I don't think mine's too quiet. My reason for opening up the exhaust would be to give it some more oomph. It's a bit on the gutless side compared to the 1200 cc V4 I had before.
Pipes aren't going to give you that much. Opening up the intake (get an open top K&N) and a fuel controller to account for it is going to make the biggest difference.
I had the exact same pipes on my vulcan 900 with cobra 2000.. 👍 I'm watching this video because I'm thinking about the c90t..
I love my C90. The only downside is the gas tank is just over 3 gallons, so I have to fill up every 120 miles.
@@seangrogan4829 ya I heard about that and the actual tank is under the seat? I'm trying to find a video or picture of someone getting gas lol.. I'll ask you, do you fill up normal place where the tank would be?
Yes. At about 15 seconds in the video when I show the skull and crossed axes, that is on the access door to the gas cap. The actual tank is under the seat. I think it helps keep the center of gravity low so it's an easy ride.
@@seangrogan4829 awww, I was thinking that.. I've read the c90 is only 650lbs fully wet and very low center of gravity and amazing handling.. I like heavy bikes for trucks but I was told the c90 is a breeze.. 👍
@@macwiller2105 yes.
I have the same Bike 2005 C-90. I will be putting these pipes on mine. Your right the stock pipes are weak sounding
🔥👏
No it's a lot louder💗
Now that it's been some time how do you like the Hard Krome exhaust? Considering them or the Cobra Speedsters. Don't want it too crazy loud but want some throaty, meaty sounds.
Sorry, didn't see this comment before. I like them a lot. I get compliments on them often (not from Harley riders) about how they're loud but not too loud.
Yep.
Hello not to mention it has one of the longest wheelbases and its class period and definitely one of the, fattest front tires on any import, had a 2003 with Vance & Hines Longshots everybody hated it hahaha too loud sorry
This may be an ignorant question, but did you have to bring it anywhere to have it tuned after changing the pipes? Or did the controller fix the backfire issues?
I didn't take it anywhere. The controller helped, and I eventually removed the pair valve. That made a difference. I still get a backfire every once in a while. But nothing like before.
I have had stock pipes on my c90t since 06. I never changed them because my bike is my main source of transportation and I cant afford to have it out of commission for even a day. Do you think it would still run well enough to get around without the controller?
The new exhaust will change the flow of the system. I don't think it would be enough to kill it. But it will ride different and probably idle rough... Or not start... I'm an amateur mechanic, I don't know for sure. You should probably do more research before you take a chance on your only ride. The controller adjusts the amount of fuel the injectors send while idling/cruising, accelerating, and at high RPM. There are three switches you can adjust. My controller is very basic (cheaper, under $200), but there are others that get more intricate.
It'll probably be okay. Pipes aren't going to affect the air-fuel ratio much, and you don't really need a fuel controller for them. If you start changing the intake and adding more air flow into the engine, you'll run lean if you don't correct the fuel. Most bikes run a little lean from the factory, which is why many experience improvement from adding a controller to a stock bike or one with just pipes.
Need this bike c90 blue
Sean - I am trying to remove stock exhausts on my C90. I don't need to disconnect the airbag from the pipes right. Just need to remove the mounting hardware in the back and good to go?
I took the air bag off with the pipes. I think it comes off the pipe but it was easier to take them off together.
Just looked at the old pipes. They go in and out of the air box. They are attached with hose clamps. I removed the top pipes from the box but left the bottoms connected and removed the whole thing as one piece.
Sean ..got the pipes off now having fun with the fact that the muffler won't slip onto the headlines so can't mount to the mounting bracket. I was so close!!
Always something...
@@seangrogan4829 I got it all done. Elbow grease and perseverance. Thanks for the replies. They sound as good as I expected.
I got a 2007 c90t I'd like to upgrade the exhaust on
You should. But you'll want some kind of fuel injection controller. I replaced the air filter too but I don't think you have to. It probably helps but not neccessary.
I have such a hard time finding after market parts. 2018 c90t. Any suggestions on where to source?
No. Other than the exhaust,engine guard, and passenger floorboards, I didn't add anything aftermarket.
do you (or anyone else) have the stock exhaust system still? If so I'd like to have it.
I do have it in my garage somewhere. Where are you located?
@@seangrogan4829 New Hampshire, where are you?
Have you tried removing the baffles?
The set screw came out on one and the baffle came off but stayed inside the pipe. It did sound a little louder/more raw, but I put it back on.
Did you have to install a Power Commander was well?
I used the Cobra FI 2000 Controller. Same thing with less features than the Power Commander.
Sounds way better I'm about to go look at the same bike tomorrow morning it's got 35,000 miles on it he wants $4,000 I'm going to try to get away with three is there anything I should look for specifically that may have gone wrong I'm listening to your video to see what the sound should be LOL
The only problem I know of, and am starting to notice on my bike is with the charging system for the battery. I keep it on a battery tender when parked in my garage but when I go for rides I can only get 4 or 5 starts before the battery is too weak to turn it over. I found in Boulevard groups that many other people had this problem and there was a potential fix for it. I plan on doing it this season. Google search "Boulevard mod 3". Other than that, and the gas tank being a little small, this has been a great bike.
I have this exhaust and it was the biggest mistake ever with purchase. It is so loud that it fit only for Sunday drivers.
I cant seem to find exhaust for my 2013 C90T OR bags 🤬🤬 any idea if 109 parts would fit??
Check with a Suzuki dealer to be sure, but I'd think the bags would probably fit, but the exhaust probably won't since the motor is bigger.
@@seangrogan4829 well, i did just look the bike up, and because its the "T" its actually supposed to come with bags...not sure why the previous owner would have taken them off
@@wiscored88 For sure. The "T" stands for Touring. It should have the bags, floor boards, windshield, and light bar. And I think a passenger back rest.
I have Cobra pipes on mine and tsukayu bags and fairing. Kind of expensive though if buying all at once. I added my stuff on over the years but if together it would be close to $2k.
@@muckville9195 i honestly plan to trade the bike in after a year anyway BUT would be nice to at least have the bags that come with it
Am in uganda kampala,,how much can it cost me
I ended doing my own baffle mod to these to quiet them down and get rid of the ear-piercing twang they make ($20 in parts). If you want to quiet down your pipes without ruining the sound, give this a try: th-cam.com/video/R5bFqV_nxpU/w-d-xo.html
4:17 if you want to skip past all the bullshit and actually hear the exhaust.
louder not better. you cant make these engines sound good. the Honda V1100 either.
That's your opinion. I think it sounds better.
yup. no single pin crank, no iconic vtwin sound.
So... you don’t consider changing the pipes “doing a modification” ? Why are people so dumb?
I had to ask myself the same question about you when I read your comment. The first part of the video... the bike WAS stock... then AFTER he did the pipes and the FI Controller... the bike was NOT stock. See how that works?
Thanks Patriot. I missed this one but you said exactly what i was thinking.
