Hi All,
Last week my SuperTrapp IDS2 broke a weld on a long road trip! And after
two+ years of the bone jarring IDS2 rattle I'm ready for a new exhaust
setup, hopefully one with fewer problems!
Anybody have good experiences with an exhaust for the KLR 650 that doesn't
require repacking, doesn't rattle, and is possibly forestry approved? Is
this too much to ask
My bike has K&N filter and dynojet stage 2 so
stock is not an option.
I'd love to hear any advice? Anybody try Jardine RT-FOUR? Which other
pipes do you ride with?
Thanks much,
John

I have a Jardine on my '02. It hasn't been on there for a real long
time, but it seems like a nice piece. I like that fact that it uses
a band rather than a solid mount to attach to the bike. It is USFS
approved too.

I vote with Jeff, Put the stocker back on. If you want a little more
free reving, drill a couple 1/2 inch holes in the end of it. Very Very
little noise increae but lets the engine breath better.

Why ain't stock an option? It seems to fit your requirements and makes a little more horsepower than the Superkrap.

Indeed. I've got the Dynojet kit installed and ran a K&N for awhile.
The bike ran fine with my stock exhaust.

I suspect you never took it on the highway? Mine floods with the stock
exhaust...not real fun squeezing the throttle and having the bike crap out
next to that big semi...

I'm sure a renown moto-journalist/motorcycle tester like Arden had his bike
up to triple digits as a matter of course. John's is another testimonial on
how one can "improve" carb performance with a jet kit. Some guys - Kysely
I'm sure - know how to install a jet kit and even get decent mpg. How does
your ride do mileage wise, Arden ?

Bogdan,
A byline is nice, but it's more a testament to writing ability and
persistence than mechanical expertise. I'm a rider, not a tuner.
Still, I did manage a few years back to install my jet kit without
wrecking anything on my A11, including the mileage. My main reason
for the jet kit was to quell a surging at 4000 rpm, not to make more
power. I don't have my little KLR diary with me, but as I recall I
made a conservative installation by using the Dynojetneedle and
drilling the slide, but keeping the stock main jet. I can't say I've
had this one to triple digits (that's why I keep my VFR), but it's
been close. Gas mileage with normal commuting (5000 rpm) and town
riding is around 50. More if I just putt around on back roads. It
runs just fine except for some poppity-pop on decleration that
started in the last 1000 miles or so.
When are you going to start marketing those cool mirror mounts,
Bogdan?
