Bub Slip-ons

[debelt]

Will I need to re-jet an '05 RSV if I install a set Bub Sleeper slip-ons?

[Guest MidnightSpook]

I've never heard of anyone having to rejet after installling pipes on an RSV.

The website venturers.org has a step by step do it yourself method for re-packing the Bub mufflers in their tech section. Sorry don't have the link.

I never had to do anything after I put my Bub's on. I've had them on almost a year now.

Thanks guys. After talking to a few people, I guess the consensus is that you need do nothing if changing only the mufflers. However, if you change both the header pipes and mufflers, you could have some issues, especially with a fuel injected bike.

 

Oh boy, I'm answering my own threads now.

I've got about 30K miles on my Bubs, and have repacked them twice. The first time I just used fiberglass insulation. It didn't seem to last very long. This time I bought mufler packing from the Yamaha dealer. It seems to quieten them done a little, but when you get on it they still talk to you. On a side note- while I had the baffles out, I couldn't resist cranking the bike. Talk about loud pipes. It sounded just like a V8 with the headers open. My wife said she could hear me inside the house, and I was probably 3/4 mile away. Needless to say the baffles went back in, and now everyone is happy.

Yes your right fiberglass gets blown out fast in my kerker.

hey if any of you want the fiberglass to repack them let me know. I bought some when I had my Khromewerks but I never used any and want to just give a new pack away. Just pay the shipping. PM me.

That's a great offer TT the real packing is expensive, should none of the regulars take you up on your offer I will.

A tip for someone repacking for the first time is to use masking tape around the circumference makes getting it in much easier:no-no-no:
