- In this video I show you how to remove the stock DL650 V-Strom exhaust and replace it with a Delkevic 350mm Carbon Exhaust System.
I have a B&B bash plate and a Suzuki centre stand which added a few extra dramas to the removal and install process. What I didn't show in the video was that in order for the new exhaust system to fit, I had to cut away roughly 20mm from the corner of my bash plate mounting bracket. But the original mounting holes are still there.

Delkevic is the best value exhaust I've ever come across, I would consider one for any bike I ever purchase just about. All though I found the strap for the silencer on the inside bit is SHARPER than anything I ever thought possible. It won't damage the silencer in anyway but it will open you up good if you don't treat it with caution.
Wow! Thankfully I haven't experienced that yet! After 2 years on the bike though I'm pretty happy with the Delkevic!
Looks good and sounds even better. Getting the standard exhaust off is a pain, the 2 pipes at different angles fight against each other.
I was surprised how good the quality is for the price and the customer service is good too.
Yeah, but I reckon it would have been fairly easy with no bash plate or centre stand.
I'm more than happy with the quality for the price. Yeah I had a great customer service experience as well. Really nice bloke to deal with.
Thanks for sharing. Been thinking of replacing my pipe on my DL650 since I bashed it a while ago, and this looks like a good option
No worries. They are great value for money I reckon. Part of the reason it took me so long to get an aftermarket exhaust is the price of some of them, but this was very affordable.
Sounds fantastic! Love the carbon too 👌
Thanks mate. Yeah, 6 months on and I'm still loving it!
Very entertaining. Yes - it’s all about the sound. If it sounds mean it must be faster!
I think I'm definitely riding the bike a little faster now! Well, letting it rev more anyway! Fuel consumption is probably up due to how I ride it now! lol
I ordered mine last night. Can't wait to install this bad boy
Awesome! Good luck with the install! You'll love it!
@@MrAusadventure your installation video looked pretty good. I have a 16 model, maybe less shaking is a required 😂
Luv the new sound & congrats!
Bet the weight alone will be So Nice :)
RSMF
I'm always loading my bike up with extra weight so the weight loss doesn't really come into play too often. The sound is definitely what does it for me! Thanks mate!
Great bassy sound
I agree! 45,000km later and I still love the sound.
Well about feckin TIME!! (For the exhaust that is, the video is earlier than most of yours these days) 🤣
2014 I rode learn2ride's SV (basically the same engine as the Strom) and was wowed by how amazing it sounded with his after-market pipe, I remember telling you about it. Basically the OEM Honda one sounded like a hair dryer and the OEM Strom one sounded like a whirring clockwork toy 🤣 🤣
The Strom sounds AWESOME now!!
Looking forward to the Tassie vids with the sound of this pipe...
I'm ignoring your comments about the baffle and where it went... you DIRTY man!!
Yeah I know! On both counts!
It definitely gives it more of a roar now. The way it should sound! You'll get to hear it live in a few days!
As for the Tassie vids, maybe by 2025!
Yeah, my dirty jokes become baffling and exhausting after a while. :-p
@@MrAusadventure Oh... pipe down!! 🤣
I have one on my klr I love it best bang for your buck you will get
Yep. Gotta agree with you there!
Very Cool! 😎
Thank you! Cheers!
The great sound and a few kilos off your bike, what's not to like. Apart from the fitting never going as smooth as you think. Looks good too.
Exactly! Gotta love it!
Yeah, I always knew there might be issues with the bash plate and centre stand. Nothing I couldn't get around though.
Very nice MrAus.
Thanks mate!
@@MrAusadventure I had a look at the site and I'm going to get a new can 😀👍
And just like that it's brand new again.. Glad it was you tho...
Yeah, it's given the old beast a new lease of life sort of.
@@MrAusadventure I am going through my 04 650 replacing parts and cleaning it up.Best bike I have ever owned.
7:07 lmfao! Sounds good.
Delkelvic makes a great looking system. Even the mid pipes look great . The V Strom sounds awesome. It seems like anything on the bottom side of the V Stroms can get a little fiddley. Did you end up leaving the baffle out?
They definitely do look great. Not as large or in your face as some exhausts can be. It now sounds like a V-Twin should!
Yeah I guess they do jam a lot of stuff under the bike on the Stroms. Most people tend to put bash plates on them at least.
Oh yes, for the most part, the baffle is always out!
Exhausting day 🤭🤣
HaHa! Someone had to say it!
Great vid mate and I think I'm up for one myself. What was the product No pls as it appears that there are about 6 that suit.
Sorry, I only just saw this comment now. If it's not too late, this is the exact one I bought.

Good on ya mate. I wanted to install the exact same pipe on my bike. I'm useless when it comes to wrenching, and on account of the fact that I have the centre stand and the bash plate, there was too much goofing around. So, I'm stuck with the stock pipe. :-(
Yours sounds awesome though! Stay upright :-)
Thanks mate. Yeah, it was a bit fiddly for sure with the centre stand and bash plate. I was lucky that I had the keys to work that day so I made a quick dash in there to grab my angle grinder. Without that, the pipe wasn't going to fit!
Hey mate I’m about to do the same job, they didn’t put any sealant in my box so I’ll grab some from super cheap, did you use sealant on each connection?
Hey mate, sorry for the delayed response. Yes I did use it on all the joints. The sealant that was supplied was dried up so I went and got some from Supercheap too.
@@MrAusadventure ok sweet! Thanks for the top mate .
Great sound! Did you have to re-map at all? They say no but curious
No I didn't have to. Runs just the same.
Tasmania? I guess this was done pre covid. Looks like a little bit of bother changing the exhaust. Did you leave the baffle in?
Yeah, I was lucky enough to get home from my Tassie trip just as everything started shutting down. This was filmed in February. I put the baffle in every now and then, but for the most part, I leave it out.
@@MrAusadventure Depending on what you are doing can take it with you.
Nice video mate, question does the exhaust help gain much performance? Cheers.
If it does, it isn't much and I didn't notice it. But it sounds more powerful now and gives me more joy to be able to actually hear my exhaust! HaHa!
So far so good. Except that I get lots of leaks 😳
How do you find it riding, is it much noisier or just nice and full sounding
I don't find it too noisy at all. I thought at first that it was really loud, but I soon got used to it and now it just sounds nice and full sounding as you say.
Cool, what is that seat cover? seatNfly? is it good ?
I got it from Ravetech in Thailand. I love it!
Which delkevic exhaust model did you buy?

Looks so mutch better then the oem exhaust.... Smooth sound mate.
Had the same troubble with the exhaust when l was taking it off. The spring pin on the centerstand made my life hard that day..
Vstrom on tour..you putting out film?
That spring was a nightmare when I installed the centre stand in 2011. Until I Googled a solution and saw the rope trick, where you tie a shoelace type rope to it and wrap it around the wheel. Gives you leverage and it just popped on!
Yes I filmed the trip. Had loads of audio issues though so I'm not sure how I'll edit it yet. Lots of other trips to edit before that one though! lol
@@MrAusadventure l just turn the volum down if it try to ruin my speakers 😀. Good to see the vstrom back on tour mate.
My strom has a riding straight issue, so now Dame Edna(what CaptainCranky calling her) lives on a lift in my garage. Hope i get her ready for winther commuting. Now l got a 2011 Tiger 800 xc, like the one you testet some years ago. Summer bike.
It even comes with it's own sex toy........noice.
It does come in handy. :-p
As a paper weight of course.
Has it broken yet? It will. There’s a metal flap in the mid-pipe collector thing that is very poorly spot welded into place. When those welds break, the flap rattles around in there. Mine currently sounds like someone dropped a handful of coins into the exhaust! Delkevic replaced the first one, but that meant going through the hassle of uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing. Then it did the exact same thing 6 months later! Luckily, I kept my spare and took it to an exhaust place that used a torch to melt the flap and get it out of there. Now I just have to go through the faff of replacing it AGAIN! Buyer beware.
That's a bummer. Nearly 4 years and 50,000km later and this exhaust hasn't given me any issues despite being bent from multiple drops on that side of the bike on an extreme ride in the Tasmanian wilderness.
Hahaha... dirty sex toy.... gaping hole! :D
You did a fer better install vid than I managed with mine on my 765! :D Looks and sounds ace mate :-)
HaHaHa! If I can make someone laugh, then my job is done!
Thanks mate. I didn't see that one. I'll have to check it out.
I do love the sound of it now. Makes me enjoy riding my bike even more!
@@MrAusadventure Def made me chuckle mate :D They are not overly loud either, but just add enough to let you know you have an engine between ya legs1 :D
Lol thanks for the use of sex toy lesson
HaHa! I was wondering if anyone would comment on that!
Now that the std 216.5 kilo zorst is gone she'll be 40kph faster.
Yeah, she screams with power now!
Hope you left the dido out ! LOL
Yeah it hasn't been in there for quite a while!
You should reduce the music volume by about half.
Too bloody late now!
@@MrAusadventure lol I know just a thought for future videos
Dirty sex toy 😂...my first thought too!
Great Video, have recently done the exhaust mod ( video here czcams.com/video/3Yi1Unq-2QY/video.html ) to mine to hold me over till I have enough penny's put aside for one of these
What a waste.
