@@frdbecker thanks, i just switched from a Honda CTX700 2014 to a Vulcan S 650 2022. So i am changing things out and doing a few upgrades.

@@ShadowCthulhu Nice! I can't leave any bike completely stock. Got to make it my own.

Happy you enjoyed it. Ride safe!

I agree it's extremely loud. I know many riders that like it super loud. It can be tiring, and not good if you are trying to not be noticed for obvious reasons.

You're welcome. & Thank you.

No I didn't. I upgraded the air filter, and the slip-on pipes. You may find it interesting that modern ECU's are self learning, so that the fuel mixture and timing adjust for changing environments. After all bikes are sold all over the World, and climate, altitude, etc are different everywhere. I do believe if you find my video on the install of exhaust on my Royal Enfield 650, I probably explained how to 'brake-in' the new pipes. It is a process of riding each gear nice and smooth, slow to higher rpm, and coasting to a stop without using the brakes (long straight roads, with little traffic help). The process is gear 1 only, then gear 1 to 2, increase to high RPM, slowly, coast, 1-2-3, repeat, etc. The whole process takes 15-20 minutes. And when you're done there is no issues with backfiring, popping on deceleration, etc. The bike rides like this was factory installed. I love it! Ride safe! 😁

@frdbecker thank you! Ive read some people do and ithers dont. Really confusing somwtimes

@frdbecker sorry one more question, how is riding now?

If you are asking how the Vulcan is riding it is terrific. If you're asking writing in general it's been a little limited because we are still having inclement weather quite often.

I put the same exhaust on my vulcan s after riding it for 2 days lol. It rides great! The majority of the weight is dead center under the bike on the stock exhaust so it didn't change the riding too much. Although, my first 2 days on the bike were my first 2 days riding in general and did about 200 miles. I've done over 800 more since then and it's been a blast! Love the bike and love the exhaust!

Well thank you. Hope it was helpful. Ride safe!

So I went back to my orders, the one I purchased says no longer available. However this one looks identical. Remember it fits bikes through 2019. If yours is newer, expand your search.

@@frdbecker thanks for that, mine is a 2024 . Ride safe too

You're going to love your new bike! Congratulations great choice!

Thanks,I'm loving it all ready. 1,400 miles done in four weeks. Thank you

One method people use is before loosening the bolts, slightly tighten them so you know the feel of what the factory installed them at. If you have a Harbor Freight store near you, or check them out online, they often have a sale on their torque wrenches. I think I have seen them on sale for under $15.00 US quite often. Well worth it.

I am guessing

I'm guessing the small light bulb burned out? I couldn't imagine any other reason why you would want to remove it. I have not tried to remove mine, but it's possible that it is a banette type. These usually push inward, and twist slightly, then pull out. You can Goggle banette bulb to see what I mean. You can also find the Vulcan shop manual like many others on the web, probably as a downloadable PDF file. I don't have time right now to do that, so let me know if you figure it out or not.

I love it. Way better, makes it easier to see at night, and brighter means safer too! Thank you for commenting! Ride safe, ride like you own it!

Not really. Not a lot of options, I put it where the OEM lock would go. If I think it's going to rain I will carry it with me. A water proof bag/cover would help.

You are definitely welcome!

Sorry I don't know what language that is written in?

I haven't noticed that?

Thank you for the comment. By the way I upgraded to the K&B air filter upgrade before the pipe edition addition. Currently because I could not hear my Sena device with this pipe on the bike I went back to the factory exhaust. I'm a firm believer that engineers at a place like Kawasaki get the most performance they can out of their stock exhaust systems while controlling the noise level. The cool thing is for no more than a couple copper squish washers I can switch back and forth anytime I feel the need.

You are welcome. I love my Vulcan. My mods only make it better!

I'm already much older than you. Just shy of 67. I only shrunk an inch (25mm) long legs steady at 34". The ergo fit works very well. And at this weight the bikes center of gravity is plenty low. Feels really light on it's feet. In fact I layed it over, it doesn't even get all the way over. Was easy to stand bak up. I even did this facing the bike. I love this bike. You would not be disappointed in it at all!

You're welcome. I don't have issues here where I live. Modern vehicles with LED lights off and look like they have their brights on when they don't. I'm guessing the law enforcement doesn't seem like my lights are out of the ordinary. Let me know what you come up with and how it worked out. Nice to see such analytical thinking BTW. Ride safe!

Thank you for your terrific comment. At the time I made the video the price of a new volcan not counting dealer

$2,300 less than a new model was the price I was able to pick my Vulcan up for when I bought it. Roughly four hundred miles on it I was extremely impressed. Apology for confusion but I am not a trained videographer and I miss a few details sometimes. I was lucky to find mine and orange color because it is beautiful and I still love it today. They made a red version the year after my Vulcan and I would be sure that you might be able to find one used for sale. As far as the rebel 500 I have owned two of them. I still have one of those in my stable. It's not a bad bike and it is a very good looker. However I would own the Vulcan over the Rebel any day if that was my choice. I'd have to say the Vulcan is twice the enjoyment that the Rebel is. Power band, top speed, comfort at highway speed, and wind is not the Rebel 500's strong points. Besides the stock tires on the Rebel are quite slippery in corners, especially when cold. I actually had to make a custom seat for my Rebel because stock it made my knees ache. My Rebel is highly modified and accessories added. I'm actually thinking of saying good bye to it next riding season. It's perfect for quick errands, a strong point. Many people actually ask me what model of Harley is it, even with the Honda Logo on the tank, LOL 🤣. It's Orange BTW, my first was yellow, first year release. Thanks again. Enjoy your ride

That's fair. Everyone's Bike is their own Ride, and as such should be setup in the way they like it. That sounds like a great option. I personally carry a disc brake lock with alarm, and a miniature garage door opener. However I have a small tail bag that I can put many things in, and it to has a combination cable lock on it. So extra things I carry do not cause any issues for myself. I own several bikes so my system is easy to grab & go depending on which Ride I'm taking that day. In all honesty I rarely use the helmet lock but it is there when the need arises. Thanks for chiming in And ride safe!

Thank you for the comment and inquiry. I'd have to take a physical measurement which I can't do at the moment because I'm not near the bike right now. I am 5 ft 11 in tall and can see over mine.

Thank you for the kind words. I love this bike more than I ever thought I would.

These were 6500 lumens per bulb.

Thank you for the feedback!

puede notar que la cinta de doble cara se agrega solo en la parte superior del protector del radiador en mi video. Este es el único lugar donde el protector está en contacto con el radiador. Lo siento, tuve que usar una aplicación de traductor para responder a tu pregunta. Gracias por ver y tu comentario.

@@frdbecker ah ok, grazie perché io, lo inserito anche sotto il biadesivo e ho paura che si posso sciogliere, dato che sopporta massimo 60 gradi

I hope you like it as much as I do. Thank you for the kind acknowledgement.

Thanks for letting me know. I hope you enjoy the upgrade!

You're welcome! I was out riding the other night and was so happy to have this upgraded light. I hope you enjoy yours too!

I have to admit some people really love the loudest pipes they can get. I also understand the draw to this. My huge regret is that I can't hear my Sena when the pipes are on the bike. That alone can be a deal-breaker. So I buy a few extra gaskets so I can switch it out rather quickly when I feel the urge. I do this on other bikes especially when they're just just slip-on's. Changing back and forth gives a little extra new thrill to the riding experience. One thing I won't do is try a different system unless I sell this one. At this point I'm pretty happy with my other overall modifications on the bike. One last upgrade I'm going to do is add auxiliary LED Halo lights up front (and they are not the OEM from Kawi).

Can maybe pull the baffles and wrap with some fiberglass packing, should keep the sound.. just a bit quieter

@@chrisjones9945 I never tried it. Figured on a full system that's pretty much what you're going to get. The great answer might come from a local muffler shop I would hate for you to cause too much restriction and hurt the engine. The pipes get pretty darn hot near the exhaust ports as it is.

You are welcome. Thank you for leaving me some feedback!

I'd say with the baffles installed your the same or a little louder than a stock Harley Davidson. With the baffles out it's a lot louder than a Harley Davidson. A modified Harley Davidson will be unique and sometimes extremely loud. Different sized pistons and stroke, it will be unique to the character of its components. Either way it's a much more pleasant ride. Of my nine different motorcycles this one I prefer to leave the baffles in. But they're easy to take back out anytime I want a little change of pace.

@@frdbecker Thank you for the reply

I think you'll love it. Aforable too!

It also mostly stops bug gut removal from your riding jacket and face shield. Not to mention road debris kicked up from automobile tires on the highway! I add windscreens to every bike that accepts one. Thanks for checking in!

Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. The windscreen is such a great improvement and value priced compared to the Kawasaki version. As with any windscreen make sure to pre-hydrate any big splatters and wipe gently with plain water using microfiber cloths. Mine still looks new!

So to be honest I ordered this on eBay here in the USA, from a seller in India. eBay doesn't show my purchase history that far back. FedEx shipping brought it to my door well under a week. Just made sure it was the chrome finish so it looks very similar to factory exhaust. Thank you for watching!

@Fred Becker thank you though

I found this. I think it's the same seller on eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/265498771814?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1h2rtKaEfQlWvQ5SL--Megg64&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=265498771814&targetid=1644837434603&device=m&mktype=&googleloc=9024532&poi=&campaignid=16743749222&mkgroupid=138744546207&rlsatarget=pla-1644837434603&abcId=9300842&merchantid=263817106&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuLShBhC_ARIsAFod4fLuS8Q2ZEqB6t_HOFMljnmhtu182rg1lqygJrRHrz4e604Bzq64hLYaAteLEALw_wcB

It does make riding much more enjoyable.

@@frdbecker I don’t think my neighbours would be happy if I took the baffles out! 🤣

@@collyernicholasjohn You could test the theory! 🤔 After all the baffles go in and out quite quickly. Then you could replace them and deny it. 😉.

Yes it does. Ebay, maybe other sources too.

This is the 12000LM (lumen) set, 6500LM per bulb. Hope that helps.

@@frdbecker yup thank you just ordered.

Nice! I enjoy mine. Chime in after you test it!

great question and thank you for leaving a comment. The handlebars are totally adjustable. Mine were too close and I felt I needed them further away. All I had to do was loosen the clamps a bit so that the handlebars could be rotated fore and aft. (If the handlebar clamps are too loose snug them slightly so as when you rotate the bars so they stay where you place them during this adjustment). I then sat on my bike trying different positions until they felt good, and rotated the front wheel/fork assembly to the extreme stops left and right, to make sure they didn't hit the tank and I still had enough clearance for good hand control. They stock bars are typically what they call mid and Long reach. So this rotating fore and aft action gives a very large range of reach differences. I actually feel that the range of adjustment is quite large. I prefer not to change handlebars to a different set very often because of the hassles with removing and gluing grips, wiring issues, etc. Let alone the added cost because handlebars are fairly pricey. I actually went ahead and purchased a traditional Corbin seat, having it built to my own specifications by adding a little extra height to the foam and deleting the port that accepts the optional back rest which I would never want. I'll probably make a video on this upgrade someday soon. I hope my explanation helps out. Let me know how it goes and I thank you again for chiming in. Ride safe and enjoy your ride.

It is working excellent. So is the same light in my DRC 400. One of the best things I have done to both bikes. Thank you for asking!

I am terribly sorry but I cannot read the message in the language that is used. I would try to translate it but I can't cut and paste it either. possibly you could run it through a translator and post it in English?

Thank you! Best compliment ever!

See my comment below! I haven't found anything that I don't love about this motorcycle! And I have owned many over the years!

I adjusted my foot pegs all the way out and it's extremely comfortable for me, and I'm about 6 ft tall. I don't have the short bars mine came with the standard bars which are considered mid and extended reach. They are extremely comfortable because you can adjust them forward backwards by moving them up and down at the clamps on the triple tree. I never imagined I would own a cruiser many years ago but this is one of my favorite bikes I shall keep it forever.

Enjoy it! I really enjoy mine! Now that I've had it for a while I love it even more. Ride safe but always have fun riding!

Thank you for the great response and comment. You too ride safe but always enjoy the ride!
