- Here's a clip of my Yamaha Virago 250 (XV250) with the aftermarket exhaust sound vs Stock. Also some footage of my motorcycle accelerating with the exhaust installed. The previous video I had uploaded had music in the background to distract from the wind noise in the mic.
I figured I'd upload a raw version to really hear how nice these pipes sound. Enjoy - Stealth

Nice. I have an 88 250 I bobbed out a few years ago. You've def inspired me to get it back out and do a few more things.
As a sport bike rider , I will one day own one. Harleys are nice, but I'm a minimalist and these are underrated.
Exactly what I was thinking when I discovered this
A lot of people will automatically overlook them.
i have both😅
Awesome sound. I'd love to do this with my '08 VL250 Intruder, the huge 'drain pipe' exhaust was so quiet. Major hassle to get carb off the suzuki, and the bowl screws are so tight the heads almost stripped out. In the end I just drilled half a dozen 10mm holes in the muffler tip. Sounds a bit bassier, luckily hasn't affected economy/power and it doesn't crackle or backfire so it should be OK. Still, someday I'd love to put a set like this on it.
Tangina sarap sa ears, the sound brother! 😎👌
Thanks for the sound comparison. I love my virago. Keep the buckhorn bars! Too many wannabes chop these things up into some half baked "bobber"
The link for these pipes goes to a "page not found" do you remember the name for this set of pipes? They look and sound great!
Also, were they easy to install? I've seen other exhaust installs for this bike that required bending the mounting brackets and ended with the pipes not being lined up.
¿Tienes algún video de como se instala estos escapes? Quiero comprarlos
I’ve almost got mine payed off. I’m going to need to rejet, get that exhaust, and get some type of buckhorn handlebars.
Did you have to Jet the carb for the new intake and exhaust ? If so what jets did you put in it ?
How do you like it? I was looking at a 2002 with by 11k miles for 1400.
I feel like this bike competed directly with the Suzuki intruder 250!
Hi , Great video . What size main jet and idle jet did you install ?
@@MotoGearSolid Cheers mate . I would appreciate that . I have some after market exhausts that I want to fit to my Virago and would be good to know what jets you put in yours
Bro, where can I buy the speedometer, turn lights signals?
Is the performance a lot better, or is it hard to tell? I like to keep things stock, but if the performance were really better, I might upgrade.
Sound good, how was assembly? Easy?
@@MotoGearSolid Did everything line up pretty well?
Was the paint scratched pretty bad when you got them?
Toronto baby!!! (Btw, i have the same bike). I didn't know that Viragos were riding around there
@@MotoGearSolid Well, my XV250 is in good shape but not as good as yours. it's not much of a comfortable bike in general but it's pretty strong. I can't afford to take it for a good paint job either
Did you do a 17/40 sprocket swap?
Damn sounds amazing!! What’s that brand of exhaust
@@MotoGearSolid Curious as why you can't?
@@HighAway CZcams doesn’t allow you to share links in the comments anymore
@@MotoGearSolid la instalacion fue dificil ¿?¿' tubiste que modificar alguna pieza¿? The installation was difficult? Did you have to modify some part?
@@MotoGearSolid Sounds great! Any problems now, 5 months down the road?
The cheapest combo of item + shipping I see is about $260 at the moment. What did you pay?
Snake.. i like that bike
I have an 09 vstar 250 that's nearly identical. We're did you find this exhaust? Would like different bars too, just new to riding am unsure of parts outside of general maintenance .
Cooles Video.. Wo ist denn das.. Video aufgenommen worden. Grüße

What s the exhaust model?
What is the exhaust? Who makes it?
¿Donde compraste ese filtro de aire? ¿Es necesario el filtro de aire para usar esos escapes? (Compré los escapes y vienen en camino)
Dónde los compraste? Modificaste algo más?
Fue facil instalar los escapes o hay que hacer modificaciones

I bought these same pipes - as linked. Mine do not fit at all. The stock nut is too long to work. I can replace that sure. But neither of the brackets are event close. Did you have to modify these at all? Gunna have to put the old pipes back on after a day wasted. Scratch the crap out of the engine cover too which sucks.
wow, that totally sucks.
This guy is not responding to any of the questions in the comments.
Did you find an alternative? I'm hoping to find something great…
@@Yowzoe so. I sucked it up and kept at it. Carefully. Super carefully. I got the bolts in as best I was able. I was worried about cracking the engine or threading the bolt holes. I then used straps to sorta slowly bend and tighten and bend and tighten. It wasn’t easy but I managed to get then into a decent installed shape. For the record 100% of the Amazon and Ali Baba parts I have bought have been junk. They don’t fit and they don’t function. Likewise 100% of the OEM parts I have bought and 100% of the parts I got from WeBike work perfectly. I definitely lost money buying “great deal” parts.
@@beautifulmachinesaus congrats! At least you have a bit of a story to tell now, and lesson learned. I have to keep learning that lesson. I was looking at some eBay fog lights for another bike…was tempted. Thanks for reminding me.
Tune the carb at all after the swap? Sounds great btw.
@@MotoGearSolid what size jets did you use please?
@@MotoGearSolid literally have the same question here😂😂 it’ll be so nice to let us know , thanks bro.
@@mingroroifyI read in one of the other replies he used 120 main jet and 22.5 pilot jet👍
What do you think the top speed is on this ? Can it get to 60mph?
I have gotten mine just past 85 but I was pushing it HARD. it can cruise at 65 all day long. 75 is doable if you have to keep up with traffic for a few miles
If that the case, changing the sprocket teeth may make a difference.
@@HighAway I tried going from a 14 front to a 15 and dramatically decreased the acceleration compare to when I have done it on other bikes but after accelerating off it has a lot less stress doing 65+ pretty sure I saw 85 on the speedo
@@motormax6048 mine is still stock i think 16 - 45 and plan on swapping to 17- 40. I found that the current ive ridden on highways weren't as tame as i would like it to be. So thought of swapping out to 17 40 make a difference. Dont know what it will be but that's how i suspect it might be.
86mph in 4th
Pipes please 🙏
Chicago?
3:14 wrong country ;)
No mufflers?
@@MotoGearSolid ok, thanks. I was asking if they had any mufflers on, or not. Thanks anyways 👊
@@MotoGearSolidThat was with the baffles in though? I wonder how it sounds with baffles out? Btw beautiful bike.
Una pregunta... ¿Se puede dañar el motor con el tiempo al ponerle estos tubos de escape?
Yo tengo los mismos escapes 2 años y la moto va perfecta, como dice él, es importante ajustar el carburador, pero porque el recorrido de los gases es diferente y no funcionaría bien, no es porque se estropee, es por eficiencia
@@coletrainGoW Y que ajustes le hiciste exactamente? Podrías ser mas especifico por favor. (Los escapes deberían llegarme dentro de poco, ya hice la compra)
Is there a way for me to convince you not to sell your bike?
