has anyone done a DIy on the sv exhaust to make it stubby - SV650.org

01-09-09, 04:08 PM

I have a fuel exhaust on my bike never used the sv exhaust was only on the bike from the shop to home. So it's just been collecting dust for 2 years. I saw a stubby and liked the noise so was going to cut mine down just for a toy? Is this wise and any tips?
Thanks in advance.

I tried it with a curvies pipe. It woulda worked if I had the tools, I've also seen it done with a pointies pipe.

Don't think people know how to search anymore...

But actually, it runs better with a full length can. More midrange.

However, it was more of a laugh having the proper power kick in at 6k.

Nice one on the thread bump. Did the exact same except a bit worse to my can recently and was wondering how to fix it. Emailed beowulf bout a new inlet to no avail

Thanks great help, I will play with it this week, it will just be for fun the odd run, it won't stay on mine all the time, the fuel sounds good enough. But cant wait to hear/play with a stubby. Thank you all.
