Mikuni race cans
I have tracked down a reasonable SV650S. It looks OK and the price is right. Though it does have some Mikuni race cans fitted -rather loud. I have searched the web and can't seem to find any info on this system.
It is a complete 2 can system without balance pipe. I am presuming that it is a race kit and not for road use. Does anyone know this kit? Can I fit baffles to quieten it down? Will it (or rather should) have been re-jetted? Thanks Duke |

Have you actually seen this SV or are you going by a written / verbal description ?
The reason I ask is that I wasn't aware that Mikuni made exhaust systems. I've just done a quick 'Google' & none of the hits on Mikuni mentions cans - only what Mikuni are known for - carburetors.

Supervox,
The bike can be seen here http://www.cheshiremotorcyclesalvage.com/600to750.htm It is not the cleanest, but at a good price! OK for my commute to work. The pipes exist and I can vouch for their volume! I have left a deposit. The add and photos show the pipes. I checked out several at DK , the cheapest was over twice the price. One at DK's had a slip on (single muffler) of the same brand. Though that someone should know them. Duke |

Never heard of Mikuni doing an exhaust, interesting routing on that system tho.
Have you heard the bike run? Done an HPI check on it? |

But, then again I'm a mechanical moron with the technical & engineering skills generally associated with brain dead baboons !! The bottom line is if you've checked out the bike & feel confident that it is what it seems & that you can get any further required work done reasonably - then go for it !!  As to your original question - I'd would have thought that you'd be able to get a Db Killer fitted which should reduce the noise a bit.

As with all vehicles at this end of the market it is buyer beware. That said it looks genuine as a part exchange and not crashed bike. No tel tail scuffs on the bits that cannot be changed. I recon it will do me OK.
As for the pipe - it may have been brought directly from Japan on ebay. Odd that I can't fine a Mikuni exhaust on the web though. It may be difficult to find a dB Killer to fit off the shelf. Do you know anyone that can make them up to suit? As for a HP check. It may be worth it. Though the bike is a '99. What is the pest price on a Check? Thanks Duke |
