    I got myself a RaceFit full titanium exhaust, a bit loud for some (you can´t get much louder than it is), as of right now it's the only XSR900 in the world with a RaceFit system, it's not launched yet, but I was one of the first to buy the MT09 version and the only guy to put it on an XSR.

As for Kelpi, and as Aussie I feel they are overpriced for what they offer. I took an XSR900 with a Kelpi exhaust and it rode crap……I then took a MT-09 without and wow…..so I ended up buying a new XSR900 ❤, and will keep looking for a better exhaust and flash/tune!

    @jayofelony86 6 месяцев назад +1

    Interesting video. I never considered the differences in catalytic converters.
    The look of the Kelpi exhaust is simply amazing and very complimentary to the look of the bike. I've considered getting it myself (got the 'stock' Akra now, but it's too quiet for my taste) but import duties were expensive. Went with a Roadsitalia exhaust instead (which is due to arrive next week). I put on my S2 windshield and passenger seat cowl on today, which also totally change the looks of the bike. I'm considering getting the Ermax Belly Pan too, although I want to fit my exhaust first to see if there's enough clearance.
    Anyhow, thanks for the video(s)!

    • @ridewithKY
      @ridewithKY  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you. We thought it would be helpful to provide a visual for the inside of the catalytic converter. There’s a big difference in restriction when it comes to catalytic converters. A 600+ cell brick (OEM cats) is going to be very restrictive compared to a 100 or even 200 cell cat. Initially we were exploring options to de-cat the KELPI exhaust but now seeing how low the cell count is, I don’t think it’d make a difference.
      Glad your Roadsitalia exhaust worked out for you. I haven’t seen that one yet, but will check it out tonight. We are looking at the Ermax pan also, it kind of completes the cafe racer look for these bikes. Thanks so much for watching and for your support. 🙏🏽.

I had the exact same kelpi exhaust installed for me over the weekend and I'm diggin it so far. I definitely notice the awareness change on the freeway here in SoCal especially during traffic so with that alone the purchase is worth it. Looking forward to more content!

      @rafaelbondoc2312 any inverted mirror is not going to be as good functionally as a mirror. It’s useable for sure but you’ve got to move your head around a bit to really see where you want to see. Whereas mirrors mounted traditionally you can keep your head pretty much stationary and see everything you need to.

    I'm looking for the quietest full exhaust with VCYCLENUT tune. IS your choice it? Or did you find other systems that are a bit quieter in your research? It is very difficult to get dB numbers on various exhausts with a tune. I'm just looking for slightly more volume with the drivability of his tunes.

    • @ridewithKY
      @ridewithKY  2 месяца назад

      The Kelpi is a lot louder than stock. It does come with a DB killer, so you could use that to reduce some of the sound, however, DB killers are generally pretty restrictive. Overall if your concern is volume and you don't want it too loud then I would look elsewhere for an exhaust. Maybe if Akra has something? Akra's are generally pretty quiet.

      SC makes a good exhaust for these bikes. It’s lighter and flows a little better because it has no catalytic converter. That being said it is a louder exhaust. Last I checked the SC is more expensive. SC in my experience is also hit or miss quality.
      In this case I’d probably go with KELPI, but I don’t think you’d be wrong for going with SC.

    • @ridewithKY
      @ridewithKY  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you! Looks much better with the modifications. Given your description I think this bio would suit you perfect. Has plenty of performance but is also relatively comfortable. For long trips I would say the wind buffering might get to be a little bit much but you can add a windscreen. The seat is also pretty hard for this type of bike so again for long road trips you may want to swap that out. For an in town or in city situation these bikes are light and nimble enough for you to navigate tight quarters easily. In the naked Japanese bike segment, this is easily the best looking. Hope that helps, thank you for watching! 👊🏽.
