2007 Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom with V&H Cruzer Pipes

[bob119911]

what is re jeting? 

[shankoathreiya]

Are those Long shots ??

[sonicbeerman]

also, what do you use to get to the drain plug? a socket is too big to fit in there with the kick stand assebley right across from it. do I need an open end wrench?

[sonicbeerman]

I ended up getting a new 09 650 classic. What oil do you use in yours? The dealer wants me to bring it in for a 600 mile service but they want like $150 to do it. Don't know why I can't change the oil and filter and gear oil in my own garage. Do you do this yourself and is it pretty simple? Any help would be appreciated, the dealers charge way too much.

[sonicbeerman]

Are these 650's any good for the higway? Can they handle 70+ and not vibrate you off. Thinking of getting one but the 650cc is scaring me away.

[70gen]

@sonicbeerman The V Star 650 can easily handle hwy speeds. I cruise at 70+ all the time....but it does have some vibiration in it.

If I did hwy riding a lot I would go wth a bigger bike.

I love it when people get a bike then the pay money to put all kinds of shit to make it look and sound like a Harley. Just buy a real bike! Grow a fucking pair and do it!

[KtfoMustang]

I just bought myself a Vstar 650 custom. these pipes sound excellent! I think i may invest in a pair =)

cheers

[kipper51650]

it is reccomended that you rejet from the manufacturer.i contacted vance and hines they said you must rejet to a 86 jet.

[pwrboter]

Video is old. I rejetted with a kuryakyn Twin Velocity air intake 2 years ago

[salchipapa8000]

@pwrboter what do you think about the kuryakyn twin velocity air intake ? feel any faster ? any more mpg's ?

[salchipapa8000]

how come u have to r"re-jet " after putting after market pipes on ? wut is re jetting ?

[maineyak]

Check out the V-Star custom clutch lever at clevverlever , com

[Georgenfla]

Im just curious if anyone has put straight pipes on the 250 v-twin version.

[ninja6kid]

250 lol i didint know they made such a thing, what does that have like 15 hp....

[vwontheautobahn]

They dont.. because the girls riding them complained about the terrible noise too much...

[nascarsmyworld96]

does this pipe kit tell you what rejet kit to put on

[Rog1550]

If you add a bigger exhaust, and more air with a hypercharger then you will need to re-jet the bike! or the bike will be getting more air and the same fuel and will make it lean and run hot.. I am re-jetting my 04 650 V-star now, with V&H Exhaust and Hypercharger... I bought it and someone put bigger jets in it(122.5) and that is all they did? no resetting the mix at 3.5 or no shims for more air. and it has ran rich from the day i got it.I will be going down to a 117.5 jet so it won't be rich

[pwrboter]

This video is old. I have since added a Twin-V and rejetted with 122.5, 3.25 pms, 2 shims on the needles. Total difference now. Improved gas mileage also. I avg 50-55 mpg when I'm not riding it like I stole and then 45-50

[borensen]

They sound really good. Thanks for posting the vid. I have an '09 650 silverado and been thinking about buying the V&N Cruzers or Shortshots. Both sound good, but concerned the shortshots will hurt the saddlebags. Any reason to rejet you think?

[badumpy]

very nice...lookin good and souding good

[LOGFAN87]

Nice bike man! Im looking into getting a V-Star 650 myself. Really great bikes!

[raulolalo]

Your bike is lame you need new bars, when you keep those bar you reach to hold them and it looks lame....

[Vstar1100kid]

i like the back rest, where did you get it?

[pwrboter]

Yamaha Dealer

[Lurbet]

So is that like, a deep pearl red colour? it looks like a really nice bike, i love it.

[pwrboter]

All Black

[jonwayne89]

How much difference did you get from stock jet to rejetting ? is it good enuf without the jet kit ?

[pwrboter]

Ran fine without rejet.

[summerg71105]

No Rejet, What did that do to gas mileage and is it running lean or rich now?

[pwrboter]

I was getting 50mpg. It may have been a little lean. I've since installed a Kuryakyn TV+ rejetted and still getting 50mpg.

[jonwayne89]

How much difference did you get from stock jet to rejetting ? is it good enuf without the jet kit ?

[pwrboter]

Better performance after new air intake and rejet.

[gutbusters]

What brand highway bars are those

And how much were they?

-great looking bike

[kerrybill14]

Is this with the baffles in or out?

[pwrboter]

baffles in

[banecker1]

did you rejet your carb?

[pwrboter]

No rejet

[Beyond99]

A whole lotta bang for tha buck!...

Lovin those Vance and Hines...

[tg2el6ue]

I like the fat black on your round air intake. Is it aftermarket? If it is where can I find it

[markcory]

tg2el6ue: that intake is stock. Next step, replace with a hypercharger.

[PLEEUZ]

Cruzers are cool. I've got the same ones on my Volusia. Take a look and listen.
