- We will be attempting to removal the baffles out of the stock exhaust pipes on a 2009 Yamaha V-Star 1100 (XVS1100).
As we find out later, it seems that for this particular year/model they have added some sort of flange or mechanism that prevents people from doing this type of modification to their bikes.
Will make a new video for any update on my end.
Thank you guys for watching :) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
To each his on. I'm 64 yrs. old and been riding many different bikes since I was a small boy. I just bought a 2008 Yamaha 1100 v star with stock exhaust. I love it. Quiet and smooth. That's the way I like it. To old for the noise anymore.
I totally get that and understand it. Each his own. It is a nice ride for sure hope you enjoy her.
I removed the baffles from my ‘07 1100 last summer.
The baffles will come out with some persuasion.
Grab the baffle tightly with a pair of vice grips then grab those vice grips with another pair of vice grips so you can wack them with a hammer.
I covered my muffler with a towel so I wouldn’t hit it with the hammer.
It may take several solid hits but they should come out.
Good luck
I did try that actually with a slide hammer at a friends. Even welded a metal washer to it to tie it and really get some force on it. No luck. I am very disappointed in it. I think I may have to cut into the metal to see whats holding it back inside.
Thank you for the advice though.
@@billh1337Hit it harder.😉
You’ll probably need more force than a slide hammer.
Hit it like it owes you money..
I removed mine. Same year bike, same motor, same color! Yes, if you adjust the fuel mixture a little, it will be fine. All the bikes, that I have owned, I remove the baffles. No problems.
Really? You didnt have issues like mine how they are loose in there but stuck with some kind of flange holding them in?
Good to hear it went well with yours.
Are you in a different country perhaps where they might have built them slightly differently??
@@billh1337 if your bike is from California it has a different muffler with catalytic converter systems in them
@@ethanh1701 It may very well have been. I am in Arizona so only one state away. Being the third owner could be likely.
@@billh1337 well that right there is a damn good observation by me😂 it probably is. If you haven’t gotten them out already I would suggest just getting new aftermarket pipes. The layout of those mufflers is way different than the usual and causes issues with removing that baffle
When you remove the rearmost baffle you don't change much. Of course the result is somewhat less backpressure but it's not going to ruin the engine if the carburetor is tuned accordingly.
If one puts on a set of eg. Cobra pipes the backpressure changes a lot more drastically compared to this modification, hence the jet kit Cobra also sells.
If you experience symptoms like backfiring during engine braking or slight hesitation at low throttle adjust your pilot mixture screws on the carbs. Usually 1/4-1/2 turn counterclockwise will richen the mixture to compensate for this.
For more info Google "Vstar Knowledge Base" and look for Carb jetting in the Tuning menu for detailed, model specific explanation and additonal tips.
Thanks for the info. Good to know how to properly tune your carb for sure.
someone has some experience with a Royal Star 1300 96 ? It has 4 exhausts.
Does it work the same? Hole saw, drill it out and pull the baffles out?
Thank you guys
You have to remove them by taking the exhaust off they come out towards the front of the exhaust it’s not like a Harley where you can just pull them out
change your jets watch for bluing in your pipes best to purchase an exhaust system to satisfy your what it is you are looking for
How did you end up getting them out? I see in your newer videos you still have the stock exhaust, I'm trying to do mine and have them half way out like you do here.
Hey so I ended up selling the bike before I could do anything to it.
But I was going to have to cut the center of the exhaust and was going to have to look inside and see if you could either bend the metal flanges flat or remove it from the other end.
After that weld back the cut open metal.
Really bad design on the newer year models. I wish it was easy as all the older models.
I bet it's stupid loud now.
How did you get them to come out all the way?
This year model is a B. But I was going to have to cut the center of the exhaust and was going to have to look inside and see if you could either bend the metal flanges flat or remove it from the other end.
After that weld back the cut open metal.
I never got the chance too as someone had seen the bike and offered money as she was so I took it.
Removal of baffles is just a slow death to that motor... No back pressure equals the motor not getting enough cooling!!
Mmm interesting, I did not know this. I do notice more backfiring as a result of it.
Thanks for letting me know.
You'll have to change the air intake as well.
Hit it with your purse 😂jfwy
😆 lol ill keep that one in mind for next time
Did you split the pipe and knock them out or wack the tip of the pipe
If you cut the tips make sure you angle cut it \ …\ that way it looks good not a straight chop I’m sure I’ll be uploading this clapped vstar 650 custom I’m be doing into a bar hopper style chopper and I’ll be buying someone’s stock 1100 pipes bc these pipes on it now are aftermarket China garbage tiny pipes and have a heat shield on them to make it appear there fat pipes sounds like a 50cc dirtbike on steroids and that ain’t going to cut it
Damaged exhaust. Just buy a couple of tips and leave the stock- and irreplaceable- the way it was designed.
Buy a decent aftermarket exhaust and equip it dude ffs. I would never buy a motorcycle with modified original parts. This is just barbaric.
Ye i know it looks bad. This was an attempt did not foresee such issues. I am planning on correcting it with either new slip ons or a fix.
Bro, hears an idea, let the man do what he wants with his bike lol
@@billh1337 I appreciate the info brother, keep us up to date on how it goes
@@sammorgason8535 Thanks man for getting my back. And I will keep you guys updated.
@@sammorgason8535 He can do whatever he wants with his bike. He posted a public video with his doings and I shared my public opinion on the matter. I have nothing against him personally, I just feel sorry for the bike.
Hack job , dont do this
Yea it does look that way a bit. But hey I tried my luck didnt pan out tho. Learned a lesson lol
