!200F Straight pipe

Speaking of Florida is there any decent acreage down there for sale for a reasonable price. Wife and I have been looking for at least ten acres

 

Looks nice the Cat is up where the pipes from all cylinders meet. My two brothers is pretty much open pipe it can get loud when you pour on the rpms. I don't miss the flapper at all if anything it seems to be a little smother in 1st and 2nd. I'm guessing you maybe pick up very little power but add a little roar to the take off and it seems like you're going to the moon. I ride in Panama City Beach just about every weekend that it's not storming. I have only seen one other 1200vrf on the road and that was at Daytona for the Supper X race this spring.

 

THREAD JACK!

Dave:

Love your website man. Nice to see another 2T fan. I sold my 97VFR to buy a 94 Yamaha TZ125. Nothing like a 2T on the track. Also, love the Ninja 900 build you did. I have a 84 Ninja that I think i'll forever be working on but its a interesting machine so I keep at it.

Peace,

BZ

 

Would really like to hear it. Was thinking about trying a gp tip. One of those with 2" of muffler but was scared of the dbs. As far as losing the flapper is concerned, good riddance to bad rubbish. I would guess that it would help hp at lower rpm but nothing a power commander cant fix. It just makes the bike to unpredictable between 3 and 5k.

Also what is the length of the tip?

Love it when people think outside the box like this.

 

I probably do have it backwards. Either way a pc should fix the problem though with a little fine tuning.

 

Dam Kids------- I'm sure he will give someone a reason to hate motorcycles------------------WHY???????????

 

For those who wanted to hear the bike, VFR 1200 Custom Exhaust (Straight Pipe) - YouTube
But ignore anything after about 0:15, its just my cousin talking lol. I'll post another soon of it just sitting still.
Orion3814: I wouldnt be the person to ask, I havent looked in over a year lol.
Seemedo: very nice bike! About how much was the bag, I'm looking to get one as I will be taking a trip to Michigan the last week of July.
Tin-Tin: the tip is 10" long, just a bolt-on tip.
duccmann: I'm most certainly not the loudest in town, there are a couple of guys with GSXR's and CBR"s running open pipes with megaphones on the end. You can hear them from a good mile away!

 

That sounds good.

 

Just throwing it out there... I know It's a smaller bike, but when I ran My 750f with no muffler just for kicks, I was amazed by how quiet it is! It wasn't even 1/2 the volume of the harley doods riding around all over the place. I did lose ALL of torque the bike had. I do like the look of the bike though. If only i had the cash for a brand new VFR

 

A PC can't fix screwed up air flow, just a FYI.

Not loud, looks great (fantastic, actually).

Two thumbs up from me.

 

Im lost. we are talking about a lean condition here right?

 

It's going, going...going...GONE! Tink hit it out of the park!
It should be said that neither Tink or myself are trying to be smartasses with some of you, but his line about “this isn’t the 70’s” can’t be repeated enough around this place.

I can’t recommend enough getting to know a real engine tuner. When I mean a real engine tuner I don’t mean your Uncle Joe who has worked on HD’s for 30 years either. Yeah, ol Joe may know a few things about HD’s but he don’t know jack about true race engines or how to truly and properly set up an engine to produce more usable HP at the rear wheel; not that pesky ‘perceived’ HP at the rear wheel that straight pipes, pair mods and slick 50 give you either.

God willing, that one thread about milling the top off a cylinder head may get interesting in all the right ways Boys and Girls.

Thanks for making me smile Tink.

Here is a proper primer to begin to educate the shadetree mechanic in true engine tuning. I will break some suspense before you get these books from the library or buy from Amazon: The high majority of HP gains are actually time consuming and work.

Amazon.com: Four-Stroke Performance Tuning 3rd ed: A practical guide (9781844253142): A. Bell: Books

Amazon.com: Two-Stroke Performance Tuning (9781859606193): A. Bell: Books

Both good reads...I still understand very little LOL!

damn, you caught that statement before I edited it with something more tactful. I get that a pc does not correct airflow. It will correct a lean issue which might or might not be a problem with shortening the exhaust. I dont know since its not my bike.

 

Just so everyone isn't assuming, my goal wasn't performance. I've got the Z-Bomb and PC for that. The whole purpose off this mod was for looks and sound. Now that that is cleared up, lol, does anyone know of a good place to get the bike tuned here in Florida? And preferably some place that can modify the fueling in 1st and 2nd so that the z'bomb isn't necessary?
