Oh yeah. Details on bike.


2005 SV1000S Dual Yoshimura RS-3 Ovals. No power commander. That should be all the info needed.

 

maybe email Yoshimura and see if they can sell you the baffles separate?


I know for a fact the RS-3's came with inserts, maybe the PO removed them and lost them when you bought the bike?

 

Yoshi has a baffle that should take it down close to 10dbl's. I wanted to get one for mine but it was going to be quite costly having to get it in or shipped to Canada. Also mine is the older style without the screw holes for the baffle to mount to. I have been thinking of putting the stock system back on.

 

Man. I hope I never want to quiet a properly piped SV1k.

Then again, if you work nights and leave your neighborhood at odd hours, I understand.

 

You could always sell the exhaust to someone on here looking for one and then get a different one that better suits your needs or even go back to stock if you wanted.

 

Your confusing baffles with restrictor insert or decible killer. Unless the PO gutted the cans and removed the internal baffle, you're talking about the restrictor insert which Yosh sells, the restrictor comes with the can new, unless it's an older model as stated previously. My Triumph came with a race can that was too old to mount a restrictor unless I modified one, so I sold the can and bought a different slipon.

 

Sell RS3's, make money, go back to stock pipes?

 

Don't know too much about different pipes, but I'm still running the stock cans on my 1000. I removed the air snorkel and had tank risers on it, but it was too noisy. I loved the sound it made, but it got annoying. (guess I'm getting old) I do like the quiet thump with the stock pipes. I like to think of my baby as a silent assassin.

 

Look in the end of the can and see if there are 2 screw holes. If so you can get the insert. Did it on mine and am very pleased. Bought them from yosh.

 

Has the noise always bothered you or has it gradually been getting louder?

Maybe it needs a repack?

 

It started annoying me after I suffered some hearing damage. Loud things started bothering me more after that. I'll check my bike when i get home tonight to see if it has the 2 screws

 

Well I guess I need to stop squiding it up and start wearing earplugs again. I just hate putting them in for a 5 minute ride to work, and when i ride another minute to subway for lunch. I take more time gearing up than I spend riding it seems haha.

 

Switch to a 2-1. I had a 07 SV1000S with drilled out baffle, OMG drove me nuts :dizzy:

 

How Do the yoshimura inserts go in? Through the front or the rear?

 

I was thinking of getting some Yoshi's or doing the can mod. I don't know yet. Wife says it is loud enough.

Sunship, you still have the drilled stock cans? I have inner nerve damage and lost most of my 4k and up. I'll just take my hearing aids out.

Archer, if you think of selling them, let me know.

I leave before dawn everyday and try to make as much noise as I can up the street...haha! After being sued for a million+, and them being boat jumpers, f'em all, except one, I just like her for her looks.:naughty:

 

The inserts go in from the outlet tip, just slide in and install screw. Sounds like you would be better off bicycling to work than using your mc.

 

^ +1

 

EDIT. Im a idiot for jumping the gun. EDIT

 

You missed my point completely, I wasn't dissing you about the insert. My answer wasn't sarcastic, I was commenting on how brief a ride to work you have. I didn't think asking which end of the can was stupid. My woodworking shop was 5 miles from home and I never commuted on the bike. Too short of a trip. Great way to build up carbon deposits. I rode my bicycle to work or my pu when needed. Sheesh, get a grip on reading.

Edit: You could still buy the inserts and drill your own hole through the bottom of the outlet tube and screw into the new inserts unless Yosh changed the dia of the outlet which I doubt. Most aftermarket slipons and full systems were track only originally when they hit the market and because of noise legislation they now are including restrictor inserts to continue to sell their product to the non racing public. It was a cheap fix to stay in the street game.

 

oh my fault man. I apologize then. Im used to other forums where the flaming flys around faster than a hayabusa on nitrous with a squid riding. Sorry for jumping the gun.

I'm either going to buy new Yoshi's or live with what I have. Thanks all for being helpful, sorry again Rman.

This forum along with GS-Twin are the best ones out there.

 

I knew what RMAN was getting at. I'd get a trail bike if my commute wasn't 50 miles one way. I could only wish it was as close as yours. DOH!

 

I had the same issue. My 1k came with RS-3's installed. The noise was not an issue for me so much as it was for neighbors. I live in a small condo complex which is normally very quiet. Out of respect for others I devised this solution. I installed adjustable butterfly valves in the pipes using $6 worth of Stainless Steel hardware. This was a year ago and to date 2 people have noticed the non-stock mushroom head bolts and asked what they were. If the pictures need any explanation just ask. When butterflies are closed the bike is still not "quiet" but it makes a huge difference in the decibel level. I can ride out of the neighborhood at a reasonable noise level then with the turn of a hex wrench be emitting full RS-3 thunder.

Newtune, that is a pretty genius way to do it. I think i'm going to hold off until the neighbors complain. I've had the bike 3 years now and no one has complained. But the house next to me had been empty for awhile. New Neighbors moving in has me reconsidering my pipes.
