VTR Storm-Manual & Exhaust Mod

[Reckless]

yeh sounds pretty good for a standard can mod could be a bit louder but want to go for a decent ride (not just round the block) before I fiddle about a bit more. Don't want it to be over the top either. Ended with the 40mm inner going into the can 150mm then cut 20mm off. So can cut more if I want to. 20mm off makes a surprising amount of difference. The smaller size inners didn't give a deep enough sound sorta bracka bracka???. Made 3 sets in all. Guys at the bike shop where impressed with the tidy look of the mod as I cut the inners off at a 30deg angle to make them look more professional.

As for the brakes I'll do the Braided lines first but thats good info about the GSXR ones. VTR Brakes seem fantastic after Z1r ones.
Got caught in a shwr on the Z today and the fronts don't work at all for 50m if you haven't used them for a k or 2 in the wet. You know, red light, slick road, big white arrows, no brakes, approaching the lights, manually ABS them, brakes come back, made it!!! All part of riding a classic! So the VTR is great compared.

Hi see this is an old thread but relevant to me. I was thinking about doing a bafflectomy on my 04 VTR and read some interesting comments today from you. You have photos and details of your experience doing this. Can you share those with me thanks. I don't want too much noise but more than stock, mainly so I can be heard by other motorists and of course to enjoy the v twin note.

hey all,

new here

Just bought a 98 VTR Firestorm. Was wondering if anyone has a pdf of a manual they could email or one I could scan.

Secondly. Mine has std exhausts and was wondering if I could carfully chisel or cut the centres out of the rear of the cans. Will this improve the performance or stuff it. Surely this must have been done B4 how does it sound.

TIA
