The bike sounds nice I got a question do you think this is a good first bike for a beginner I am saving money to buy later in future to be exact hopefully in spring i was consider a ninja 250 but i heard that you get bored with it after 6 months iim looking for a bigger bike that i can use for atleast a year and upgrade also how much do you pay for insurance? i heard this bike is easier to insure because its not consider a sports bike , thankss
@BluezCOO Hey thanks and yes it's an excellent first bike, if you can get it over a ninja 250 you may as well. The only time you will really start to get bored with it is if you go riding with people that ride bigger bikes. I rode alone pretty much all last spring/summer/fall while I was learning, I had no previous riding experience of any kind, and it was great. It was only midway into this season when I started riding with other people that it felt painfully slow, so I upgraded to the TL1000s
My insurance was like $36 or $46 a month, I can't remember exactly and that was for full coverage. Yeah it will be a heck of a lot cheaper to insure than a real deal sport bike. How old are you?
@future62 hey thanks! Yeah it sounds alright..... BUT I now how a 2000 Suzuki TL1000S with Devil Pipes which is a Vtwin and let me tell you.. WOW such an amazing sounding bike, sounds like a machine!
@ALPHAmovement I didn't have to remove the center stand, in the directions it said to take the rubber stopper off the old exhaust and put it onto the yoshi, unfortunately mine didn't have a rubber stopper, it must have come off or something. I ended up just ghetto rigging my own stopper out of some chopped up erasers and zip ties lol... I'll get around to getting something a little more legit at some point.
Good Job on your review of the exhaust system. If you choose to post future modifications, please do a "before and after". People loving having the base to compare an upgrade to. Two questions: What kind of camera are you using and have you thought about where to mount the camera for ride recording? I ask because I have the same model bike.
@Ergodyne187 hey I used my iphone 4 to record the video and I've been wanting to find a place to attempt to mount it, but I've been to lazy to mess with it much kinda want a gopro
@z10abutler the standard trs for gs500's should fit fine. but yeah if you can't find one for sub 300 bucks I'd just go with the full jardine and a rejet.
500 is slow.. No one cares. POP sound to it= yeah, cause its lean on the deacceleration.. You can do the PAIR MOD valve and get rid of the popping and backfiring.
@LightningMAS ya know, I always had a sneaking suspicion that I, with no prior riding experience, should have gotten the hayabusa they had at the dealer for my first bike. That way I could make really cool youtube videos that super cool people like yourself could watch...cause that's all that really matters right?
The popping I was trying to describe was coming from the whole in the end of the exhaust that the screw which holds the silencer in goes through.
@LightningMAS If your main concern is speed, you should NOT be riding a motorcycle. Those people who are wise and don't crash are the ones that are not like you.
I'm a little confused, so is this with the silencer in or out? Also, is the silencer in the exhaust from the factory, or does it have to be inserted? Thanks.
@PLdrummer sorry the video is with the silencer out, I think it sounds like a 50cc dirt bike with it in haha. It comes with the silencer out from the factory and to put it in you need to punch out a scored round piece of metal at the very end of the pipe, that hole causes the "popping" sound while idling, it didn't really come across in the video.
im 18 bro i turn 19 on June 2012 , i dont wanna pay like 300 a month as people say lol you should make a video or your gear bro

Hey, did you have to remove your center kickstand? Or did the Yoshimura come with a center kickstand stopper/bracket?
Thanks

Thanks for the quality sound byte!
So many exhaust vids are too low quality to get any real feel for how it actually sounds.

Great video, I'm ordering the same exhaust. I'll try not to punch out that piece of metal. LightningMAS is a douche
