Vance and Hines any good?

[mjangus89]

Does anyone have a V&H on their kat and did they have to re-jet the carbs? I'm hoping to not have to do that.

Thanks,
Michael

Don't have one on my Kat but I had one on an FJ1200. It did not "require" rejetting. It did "benefit" from a "jet kit".

I have the SS2R slip-on for my 06 750 and love the sound and fit.

Rejetting is not required but I would advise to do it as it will perform much better.

besides buying the jet kit, (about $90 or so), how much does it cost to have it put in? i had a 99 GS500E, i bough a V&H full system and a jet kit. I put both of them on myself but i screwed up putting in the jet kit, and i don't want to risk it again, especially since i just got the Kat a week ago.

Get a Ivan's Jet kit and just install as he suggests and you won't need to fiddle at all.

I'm tryin to aviod doin that kinda work as i tend to keep busy with other things like work and school. I also have a Honda 440ex quad that doesn't run and i haven't had any time to take a look at it. Do you know how much it would cost to have it put in?

No idea, Maybe you can find someone from this forum near you and they can help ya out.

My guess from a dealer though about $200.00

oh ouch i'm not sure i'd wanna spend that much just to have it put in. i'll see if i can find someone that can help me out. unless there's anyone in Central Minnesota that'd be willing to. Let me know

Thanks,
Michael

No, you don't NEED to rejet... I've got the SS2R, too. Like it a lot. But, a stage-1 and timing advance is about the best $200 you'll spend on a bike with a full exhaust.

full system- rejet- 3-7hp gain

slip on- no rejet- <1hp gain

V&H sound great, I just wish their cans were a little more...aesthetically pleasing...
